What did your breast's do?



Recommended Posts

From a guys point of view you ladies are investing too much identity in you curves. You are all achieving fantastic losses and there are trade offs but you are who you are inside and give yourselves some great attaboy a over what's happening to your life first and if the looks are still critical do a little reshaping after that loss. The biggest successes in your lives are what you are doing now. Congratulations to all of you

I had surgery June 1st, so I am just 1 day away from being 4 Months out. I didn't notice a huge different with the girls and I've lost 100 lbs since the beginning of my journey in October 2014. I however have had serious issues with my breasts since as far back as I can remember. The "bigger one" I so delicately refer the left is a size C & the "little one" is an A and I'm being generous. I have breast augmentation scheduled for December 17th, 2015. I have 50 more lbs to lose before I hit my goal weight and I hope to get 1/2 way there by then!

Do you know the many, many breast cancer survivors had worries that went beyond cancer into "how will I feel as a woman if I have no breasts?" It is a genuine concern for many woman and not just those who have been diagnosed with cancer.

Our breasts are a part of our identity, they help make us feel young, sexy, attractive and well proportioned. It is the reason why many women choose augmentation as they age, have children or for a boost of self confidence.

Most of us don't care about a man's opinion about out breasts but care about what WE see in the mirror. We want our shapes, curves and clothes to look best and feel our breasts help facilitate a specific look.

Pirate's dream, sunken chest....with 2 little coin purses dangling beneath.

Understand I'm 54 and have breastfed 2 children, so perky was never in my future.

Just a side note, I had my first mammogram done as a baseline. I was expecting it to be painful it wasn't bad. I don't know if it's because of all the saggy fatty tissue or what but I walked out of there like that was it? So if you have excess saggy fatty breast tissue it might make mammograms less uncomfortable.

I'll be 54 this coming Saturday, always had big boobs. HW 285 lbs. SW 257 lbs. CW 176 lbs. Bra size was 46 DD and now 36 D. Don't look too bad in clothes but let's get real here ... that's after I lift everything up into the ole cup. This includes all the loose side fat - yuck! Yesterday was my annual mammogram. If that doesn't humble ya, nothing will. Felt bad for the nurse having to lift my "flat as a pancake" breast up and lay it on the machine. Good news? No breast cancer! Great news? I've suffered through much worse ... had a stroke the day before Thanksgiving 2013! As a result, I have a chronic debilitating nerve condition that while it won't kill me, I will die with it. Think of your worst sunburn ever and then a cheese grater vigorously scratching it. Add numbness when walking more than 20 minutes at a time and that's what my whole right side feels like 24/7! I choose to stay positive and this gift I've given myself of gastric bypass surgery will not be wasted. My sweet 80 year old mother asked me the other day, "Honey what will you do when you have loose skin?" My reply, "Just tuck it in my clothes and go on about my life because now at least I can have a life"!!! Don't worry as it changes nothing and only stresses your body out. Everything's going to be just fine ;)

I just have to say again( and I'm not bragging, just trying to give people hope) how much I love love love my little tiny boobs. Yes they aren't as firm as they could be, but they used to point down and since I lost weight they have turned up a lot more and I actually, for once in my life, love them!!

I always hated my boobs, even before I gained weight. I didnt like their shape and thought they were saggy. It's so weird because the way I lost weight this time made them better!! I still take off my bra and go wow I love those little boobies!!

I'm a b cup and it's the perfect size. I wouldn't even mind if they were a little smaller.

I thought for sure I would need a breast lift after surgery, thank goodness I don't! I'm so happy.

Another weird thing is I always had really thick legs, even when I was 150 pounds, before I gained weight. My legs now are super skinny, like chicken legs. It's so weird I never expected to look like this. I think it may have something to do with the low carb diet. Ones body takes fat differently when you diet low carb.

It's amazing how happy I am with how I look.

The only thing I don't like is my tummy area where I have loose skin. Need a Tummy Tuck for that big time!!!

So have hope ladies- your boobs may survive this!!

I don't ever remember having perky boobs ever! They came in as sagging DDs, I swear. I just roll them up and wait to hit goal to schedule a lift, augmentation and arms. I'm hoping I can go all in one shot!

So I had my GBP last August so I am a little over a year out. I started at 265lbs size 20 bottoms - 22 tops. Size 40DD. My boobs and butt were the first things to go! I am now size 12 -almost can get in a size 10 but they are just a little too tight for comfort. My boobs are a sad sad mess. I am down to a 34 small C. I plan on doing whatever it takes to get these babies fixed next year! This year I had the arm fat removed - worse pain EVER! I plan on using income tax to do the boobs, belly tuck/butt lift next year!

Hi All !

I'm scheduled to have RNY on the 17th of June. I am 339, 5'4", 48. I look like the Michelin Man, lots of folds. Now my breasts already hang very low, point south and they're large. They get in the way of my arms as they seem to fall to the side of me. I HATE them, always have.

Some time after RNY, how do your breasts take the weight loss? Do some just fill back up? Do some go completely flat? Do some shrink and look perky? What happens to your breasts long after surgery?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
