Breast smaller due to weight loss



Recommended Posts

@Stevehud This is true! I still love mine, and don't want to lose them LOL! I have had them since I was in grade school, they are part of me...

I agree with whoever said that if they have always been pretty big that you will lose less of them. Mine were large at a normal weight from normal breast tissue/fat, but kept getting bigger in proportion to my weight gain. When I lost to goal with the band they went back to my pre-gain size, but not as perky.

I'm fine with being a C up. I'm on 5'2"½ so that's more than enough. I agree with @@Stevehud and would hope that people thought more of me than my breast size.

I fully expect mine to disappear - lol. I have been over 300lbs since grade school (except a year when i was battling cancer). I think it's done a real job on my hormones - so I figure I'll be kissing them good bye and living in sports bras for the rest of my life. Maybe I should plan a boob funeral.... Lol

I went from a 46/48 DD to a 40/42D- depends on bra style as to whether I'm a forty or forty two, I have twenty pounds to go so will probably be a 38 D when 8'm done.

Well how I eat now is WAY different than at 8 weeks. Back then I still got stuffed on a couple tablespoons of food, so I was shooting for as much Protein as I could in every bite. I didn't feel "normal" until 4 months out. That's when I could eat a little more, started mixing in more veggies and fruit, and didn't have to struggle each day just to meet goals.

At 6 months I could eat a small plate of whatever everyone else was eating ....heavy on the Protein dishes, less of the carbs. At 10 months my restriction loosened even more and I found I could eat more and still maintain. Thats pretty much where I still am.

Yesterday was a weekend so I did a lot of snacking. Here's what I had.....

1 egg omelet with cheese and sausage; 2 16oz cups of Decaf coffee with 1/2 and 1/2. leftover Chinese BBQ pork, raw cauliflower, broccoli and carrots dipped in spinach dip, peanuts, blueberries, plain Greek yogurt flavored with vanilla Protein powder and flax seed added for Fiber, a slice of braunschweiger, 12oz can of V8 juice, elk sausage with a couple bagel crisps, 32oz Water, white chocolate raspberry Quest bar, cottage cheese and fresh peaches.

I know it sounds like a lot, but the portions were small and that's typically how I eat on the weekends if I'm home. But in general I eat whatever I want whenever I'm hungry. On work days I don't get a lunch break but I always have a large protein smoothie and a Quest bar at some point in the day so I'm free to eat veggies, fruit and grains at mealtimes, rather than just protein.

.

Thanks for the info! That's exactly how I want to eat and I'm really looking forward to the day I can add fruits and nuts back into my diet. This surgery was exactly what I needed. I ate healthy for the most part but just ate huge portions. It was embarrassing but I always felt like I could eat more and the hunger was always ever present. I'm just going to have to learn how to manage the eating every couple of hours something small at work between classes.

Me too. I swear I didn't have the trigger that told my brain to stop eating....I was NEVER full. Now my sleeve does that for me! Just FYI, today was a more typical work day for me....

Fried egg and turkey sausage, 20oz decaf coffee, quest bar, protein smoothie (24oz/35g protein), beef Jerky, 32oz lifewater, homemade chicken noodle Soup loaded with veggies (heavy on the chicken light on the noodles), cottage cheese with peaches, glass of white wine (OK, so this is a once or twice/month treat), edamame, 1/2 mint chocolate Power Crunch bar (tastes like a Girl Scout thin mint)

Yep, more than likely, I was busting out of a 44DD, I went down to a 44C cup at 2½ months out, bought 2 new bras and now they are too big :o . I will wait before I buy anymore, lesson learned. LOL :wacko:

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
