Im not due to be sleeve till August /September but I have a question to the females that have already been sleeved , my breast size os currently 40 DD will my breast shrink with the weight loss, I want a breast reduction but not if my breast size goes down tremendously

I went from an overflowing dd to a c/d in less than 2 months, not happy about it.

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'm 5'1, and there's nothing there, lol

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

Lol at boob funeral ????????????????????

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 . I will wait before I buy anymore, lesson learned. LOL
