R.I.P. Boobs


ms.sss

Recommended Posts

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the loss of The Girls.

While having the excess weight pass on was a welcome event, sadly, many had to pay the price in Boobies.

Sigh.

Today is the 10 year wedding anniversary of a pal o' mine. She is holding a zoom party tonite to commemorate the day and made a special request for the groomsmen & bridesmaids to wear the outfits we wore that day. I put mine on, and yes, it's way too big, and so I went looking for a pic of me wearing it back then and found this.

So yeah, R.I.P Boobs.

P.S. And the pic from 2011 is even AFTER I had a boob reduction in 2005

P.P.S Feel free to post pics of your loved ones as well....lolololzzzzzzz

don't miss mine at all (well, once I had plastic surgery to lift 'em up, that is - they look way smaller than before! (from before everything - before they deflated due to weight loss, from before I had WLS, and from before I became morbidly obese!)

I have gone from a 44D to a 36C. Maybe that is why hubby keeps asking me about halter tops....LOL

LOL, don't get me wrong, I am very happy with my new perky ones (post breast lift), I just do miss the old ones sometimes...we were so close.

I went from a 54DDD to a 38C. That's a big loss for me... has been really strange to get used to...

I'm currently a 36B. I was a 36 D or DD before plastic surgery (well, that was after I rolled them up and stuffed them in my bra - I needed the extra space for the rolled-up numbers). I can't remember what I was before I lost the weight. Huge, though.

Its been over a year since I bought a bra (eff you Covid)....I just took my measurements and according to those, I should be wearing a 30C. At my biggest, I was a 38DDD.

Collectively we all could have pooled our lost boob fat and opened up a soap store.

I thought mine was a big difference. I am seeing that its not compared to a lot of you.

I don't wear bras anymore either, unless I am going somewhere. I wear shelf bra cami's. They are so comfortable.

My husband misses my ginormous boobs. My back does not. :)

My hubby hasn't said anything about my boob loss. He was never a big boob guy.

So funny you’ve started this thread Ms.SSS. Was grocery shopping this morning & a young, very well endowed girl was at next checkout. She was wearing a very low cut top & I swear when she leant into her trolley her unfettered breasts almost escaped. I admit I was a bit judgemental for a moment & then enviously thought mine used to be like that - sigh.

But, I don't miss my 18E breasts. Don’t have the problem of clothes fitting me everywhere except across my boobs & no gapping buttons anymore. Best is I don’t have to position them when I get into bed or reposition them during the night when I roll over. My gracious they got in the way some times. And don’t get me started on trying to keep them restrained when exercising. I could put my eye out from the bouncing.

Now I just wish they weren’t so empty & squishy soft. I fill out the bottom of my 10E cups fine but the top gapes & gathers. I put a tissue in each side to fill the cups up something I’ve never had to do not even as a teenager! Don’t think I have enough fat anywhere to Lipo some & transfer it into the upper slopes.

RIP boobies.

I’m only 3 months into the program and 2 weeks out of surgery, but today when I took my 2 week progress photos I noticed a big difference in my chest. So I put on my old 48 DDD and my boobs didn’t even fill it half way and the band was gaping in places. I’m not gonna lie I kinda freaked out lol I had a lift and a reduction prior to me gaining the 130+ lbs. So I went digging and found a really old bra and the C cups fit me for the first time since I was a freshman in college (2009). To say it’s bittersweet is an understatement lol

I think my first set of Plastics is probably going to have to be my chest. My reduction and lift is basically worthless now and even at my HW, they were one of my few liked assets!!

Hahaha I’m so glad you said this, the constant adjusting throughout the night had gotten real old. Being a stomach sleeper with big boobies is not easy!

      I weighed 199 pounds (90 kg) this morning! I felt accomplished and happy, and celebrated by going to the gym to lift some weights. Hoping everyone else out there is making progress, whether you are pre- or post-op 😊
      Today is 7 weeks and two days post-op for me. I've been through two stalls already, but I am sticking to the program. I want long-term success from all of the sacrifice and pain. You all know I mean!

      Okay so, as of yesterday my insurance company contacted me direction to say, that I was approved and have completed all the required items on the "To Do List". so, I should be getting my appointment next week for meeting with the Anesthesiologist. I'm very excited/nervous, but extremely happy too.

        Congratulations!!! I see you live in Ashland, when I was in High School drama club we went to the Shakespeare Festival there. I hope to go back one day!

      Tomorrow will be 7 weeks since surgery. Yesterday i found that I was able to finally drink more than a sip at a time. I am SO grateful! I have always loved drinking water and it has been my primary beverage for most of my life; losing the ability to drink a lot of it was my first post-surgical regret. Being able to drink more than a tiny sip at a time makes me feel so much more normal.
      I'm eating around 500-700 calories a day, and have hit my second stall. I have begun to only weigh myself once a week. I've made to the gym twice since surgery, but I've been walking my pup and walking at work up to 3 miles a day on average.
      I've also been using resistance bands and stretching. I'm not quite ready for twisty yoga stuff yet. Or jogging. I did do a 10+ mile bicycle ride last weekend with a friend to a coffee shop where I had a cold decaf coffee with half and half. That was another activity that made me feel kinda normal.
      I'm still drinking one protein drink a day, trying to hit my goal of at least 60 grams a day. Today I got 72 in thanks to a cold G Zero with 10 grams.
      My abdomen is still a bit sore in general. The way I understand it, the inside is not fully healed until 3 months after surgery. That means sometime around November 1st. This is when I will go on the forever way of eating according to my provider's plan. I look forward to that day.
      Oh! And I should mention that I learned about a chain restaurant that is in about 30 or so states. It is called Clean Eatz, and they have a menu that is friendly to we bariatric patients. My support group last night talked about getting pizza and flatbreads from there. I checked it out and it looks like it's both eat-in and takeaway. This is the first place I'm going when I feel ready to eat out again

      Does anyone know, how long it takes for Medicare to approve surgery?

        I think it depends entirely on what guidelines you're being referred under. I had that kind of insurance through the state as a low-income person for 10 years and even though I was over 400 lb for 10 years they denied me. All based on the fact that I did not have diabetes. I switched insurances once I was offered a different kind of coverage from work and was approved within two months

        Medicare or Medicaid?

        They both have a serious of hoops to jump through before you can meet the surgeon. After you meet the requirements and as long as you do not run into any gatekeepers, the surgery will be okayed by your insurance pretty quickly after the surgeon clears you. One other consideration is when the clinic will actually schedule you for surgery THAT can take awhile depending on how backed up they are.

      I got a little bag of samples when I saw the nutritionist last week. Turns out I much prefer the Celebrate 45 Tropical Twist vitamins to the Bariatric Fusion orange flavor, so I've placed an order for those and the sweet treat assortment of calcium soft chews, which were almost dangerously tasty. The Unjury chicken soup was better than the other brand I tried, but not enough to buy it. And their vanilla shake was vile. I just can't do artificial sweeteners, and probably not vanilla unless I add something to it to mask the flavor. The aftertaste was so strong and I had a vague impression of drinking baby formula. So far the only ones I've really liked have been the orange and peach flavored Syntrax Nectar Naturals, so I'm going to get two vegan fruit flavored options in case I have trouble with whey after.
