OK Girls.. what the heck is the story



Recommended Posts

I'm wearing my older bras that I kept when I lost weight before and they are fitting nicely. I think most people don't realize they have dropped a bra cup size because they don't get properly fitted. Now since our ta-ta's are deflating, it is good to get fitted to keep them up as high as we can get them :) Jiggle, Jiggle ladies :)

My work partner was complaining the other day about how teeny and flabby her boobs had gotten. She was never more than a plump B cup anyways. She pulled up her bra to show me and yes, they are little nubbins that really require no bra? She showed me how they sagged when she bent over. I was like, REALLY?!! I will show you something to cheer you up". So I whipped mine out, bent over and let them dangle. (Was DD now B cups) She was like, "WOW!" And she felt better immediately.

Glad the girls can still bring joy to someone's life. (And there's no such thing as TMI in a small town :) )

LMAO! :-)

One friend of mine, who is 3 years post op, said the girls were finally beginning to look normal! She's never breast-fed so she hasn't experienced the deflation.

Yours might not get smaller...some would be very envious of you.

When you reach your goal weight, and have been there for a year or two, that's when you should consult a plastic surgeon and talk about breast reduction. Me? I'm definitely looking into having the girls put back where they should be and maybe even implants! But that's YEAR'S down the road!!

I started at 25, a 3x on top, size 22 jeans and a 44DD. I've now lost 100 lbs and in an 8 jean. Still an xl and a 40D. Didn't lose ,uch on top, compared with the bottom.

My top half looks photoshopped onto my lower body. I look like a marshmallow held up with 2 toothpicks. If I lose anymore on my legs/butt, not sure ill be able to hold the top half up

Unsure about what to do about it, besides cosmetic surgery. And seeing as I never play the lottery, that's not gunna happen anytime soon...

I was a 44DD, although my Dr thinks I was larger. I had breast reduction, prior to even thinking about having surgery. For the record, they took off about 3 1/2 pounds on 1 side & around 2 1/2-3 on the other. I averaged a 38C before surgery. Not bad, I thought!

Then, I had WLS surgery, and now (110 pounds lighter), I'm at a measly 34B. I call them boy boobs now. I swear when I bend over, I have these little saggy boobies. I went from VERY well endowed to VERY NOT endowed, LOL.

My boobs are ugly now or at least I think so. My hubby doesn't seem to care. They were the first things to go when I started to lose weight. I was 46c now I am 42B or 44B depending on the brand of bra. This really make me mad since I have 10 perfectly fine bras that are 46c that I can not wear because the cup size is way to big and I got them at Lane Bryant so you know they were an investment. Planning on getting a breast lift with augmentation after my weight loss stabilizes. Still debating on the Tummy Tuck, just don't want both surgeries at once, but I know it will probably be cheaper to do it that way. Just thinking of the pain aspect.

Thanks for the chuckles ladies and Kindle, you almost made me spew Water all over my computer. That was hilariious....just whip em out!.....too funny. I have to say that compared to the rest of my body my breasts were not as large as you would expect but like so many others they did deflate. when I bend over without a bra on they look like a tennis ball inside a sock hanging there! yikes! Even so....no regrets! I don't care if I have to roll them up or tuck them into my trousers....onward....lol

I'm officially in my goal range and "the girls" haven't really officially budged size wise, (which I am grateful for). I've lost about 90 pounds and have gone down 8 inches around my ribcage but cupsize is the same. Keep in mind I switched from plus size bras to Vickie's and you typically go UP a size in Vickies, so I guess it all evened out in the end.

Ok so something I've noticed over the past few days. My boobs look freaking huge now. They haven't gotten much smaller and I guess in comparison to the rest of my body. It's kind of freaked me out a few times. I'm not complaining though.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
