Is it getting bigger?



Recommended Posts

So I have always had dramatically asymmetrical breasts - as in, one is a D, one isn't even an A, I wear mastectomy insert even though I haven't had a mastectomy - that kind of asymmetrical. Honestly, on my right side, it always just seemed like what an overweight guy has: the shape and the feel are totally different from a woman's breast and there's no real breast tissue.

But today I realized, it seems like my right breast has grown. I think I feel some breast tissue and I see a stretch mark that I don't think used to be there. I'm nearly seven weeks out and I've lost almost 40lb since starting the preop diet in the middle of May.

Is there some kind of hormonal reason why this might be happening all of a sudden?

I don't know how to feel about this. I had actually just been hoping to get a reduction on my left side once I'm at goal. I really don't want big breasts...

EDIT: I posted this in the "powder Room" for a reason, but just realized it will show up on the side bar as well. My guess is some guys will read it. Maybe the content will make them uncomfortable. I dunno. As they say, tough titties ;)

Everything feels different as you lose the weight compared to when you were say 19 or a little older. My chest bone sticks out and it never ever did. I look like I have a mountain between my breasts. But that is just how I see myself. My entire body looks different since I lost the weight and as I lost it in different places at different times there were times I feared how it would turn out.

Well I lost all my weight and am looking forward to surgery to fix the mess.

Please try to stay focused on the goal of weight loss and look forward to fixing the outcome later. One step at a time...okay!

You might ask your doctor about the possibility of hormones causing a growth in breast tissue...since hormones tend to be in flux post-surgery. I don't know enough about hormones and their actions to give a good answer.

If women are known to become extremely fertile as they lose weight, certainly breast tissue growth is very likely.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
