Here is a funny question to post band ppl



Recommended Posts

I know this is going to sound strange asking this, but hubby mentions it alot so I figured I'd ask. This question is mainly for women to answer.:rolleyes:...If you exercise enough with weights and try like hell to keep from them sagging...did you lose your breasts??? I mean I like my breast just want them just a little bit smaller but NOT complete gone......I had a breast reduction at age 20 so I would like to get them back down to that low size C that they were after the swelling went down...LOL :guess

blessings and waiting for responses!! I figured we could all use a laugh..I've had a bad day all around today!! :ranger:

I think a lot of that depends on if your breasts are mostly dense tissue or fatty tissue and how much bigger your breasts have gotten from your thin size to your fat size.

Once they shrink back down to their "normal" size the problem is the excess skin.

At my thinnest I was a b cup and now I'm a D cup, so my skin will be a D but the inside will become a B again.

I have a bad feeling, they are going to look like long athletic socks with tennis balls hanging inside.

Thank goodness for Bras.

I have actually gone up in cup size, while going down several band sizes. I began in a tight 46--loose 48 DD. Now I am in a 38 DDD if I can find it. Some DD's still fit, but the difference in band size and the fullest part of the bust has changed a lot!

They are not nearly as perky as they used to be--------but at 47 I never expected they would be. Not something I plan to "fix" at this stage though.

But did they go away? Nope! I think shortgal is right, it is dependent on what your breast tissue is made up of, if you were flat chested prior to gaining weight....that kind of thing.

LOL Shortgirl, I joke that I went from a 46DD to a 38 Long!

I think you will lose back and side fat.... I can wear smaller bra's now but it is mainly the fat loss in those areas.... I have a Victoria Secret underwire push up shaper and HOLY COW it takes my flabby boobs and REALLY makes them stand at attention...... DH REALLY likes it :rolleyes:

I'm freaked too. I had a breast reduction before my lapband. (I'd already given up on ever losing weight) I was a 34C when I was thin, Now (after weight gain breast reduction) I'm a 42D. I hope I have something left when the weights gone.

Hilarious!! that was a good laugh about the tennis balls in the socks-!!!I've not been banded and am going through the 90 day diet/exercise thing, have completed 30 days and am going for appt 2 on Jan 17-is the excess skin worth being skinny? Is there a way to make it go away non surgical?

Oh hell yeah in my opinion!!! When I was at my heaviest, I looked like hell in clothes or out of them. Now in a size 12-14 I look ok in clothes.....out of them is still pretty yucky---so TT here I come, get the rest of this weight off, and it is a goner!!

This is not even considering all the health benefits of having the weight off.

Definitely worth it----100% sure of that!

Welcome to LBT, good luck on your upcoming surgery!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
