Boobs.... why are they coming back... ugh

[BayougirlMrsS 3,933]

Many of you know, when God was handing out boobs.... I must have gotten in that line a few times..... Anyway

2009 band bra size 44H, 2017 band removal 34G, 2019 sleeve 36G/H.....Last bra i bought was a 30GG (cup was a little big at the top, it's now full) Recently with the sleeve i finally started losing some and thought (prob around F/FF)... Yayyyyy. But over the past few weeks, they (the boobs) have been really tinder and nipple are is very sensitive. I blew it off to ovulation time (even though i don't have a uterus i still have ovaries) But last night Tim and i were in the shower and i looked down and asked..... are these getting bigger are is it just my imagination?..... He concurred, they are.....OMG WTF..... The scale has not moved, i'm still at the same weight...... why dear Lord.

Anyone else go through this..... Not like i can ask anyone else.... Tim seems to think Menopause has kicked into high gear and i should go see my GYN.
Thought, ideas, words of encouragement.... anything...

Estrogen levels have a direct effect on fat cell storage so...Thats all I know. Its difficult to know why fat cells are distributed the way are, hormonal or genetics.

I do feel for you, I have a big bra size and after having lost roughly 30 pounds , it still feels the same size.

I have the same problem. My boobs have gotten bigger with weight loss. I was a 44H and now I'm a 40 who the hell knows but it's massive. I've always had massive boobs at every weight I've been.

This would be my guess.

Another theory would be increased carb consumption leading to Fluid retention? (Since I've been eating more carbs, my face/body looks softer or "puffier". I'm the same weight as when I was barely eating carbs, but I look bigger (to me), including my boobs.) 🤷🏼‍♀️

Gee that’s a puzzler. I would say I’m jealous but I do understand your frustration. I had bigger boobs, though not as blest as you, & I enjoy shirt buttons not straining across my bust now. A little upper breast fullness would be welcome though so I don’t have to add a tissue to fill out the top of my bras. Yep, I stuff my bras now 😆.

Could be menopause/peri menopause but it wasn’t something I experienced so ... Hormones do mess with us something bad at times.

Don’t want to scare you but I remember a elderly lady in my home town who said her breasts never stopped growing. She was pretty slim but had watermelon breasts (& she never wore a bra - yikes). Are other women in your family slim & large breasted? Could be a genetic thing.

THIS. No more safety pins in sad attempts to close the gaps! And yay to being able to go bra-less and STILL be comfortable!

...BUT there are times I miss my old big boobs...but just my circa teens & in-my-20's boobs which were much nicer than my 30's & 40's boobs which gravity did not smile upon.

I have always had large breasts, but with the WLS i lost some and over the past 2 weeks, they came back.
