This might sound silly but...



Recommended Posts

Ok I know this might seem like something silly to be worried about but here we go, I love my breast and they're one my better features and the thing I was wondering is, for the ladies who have had surgery have they gotten smaller? and if so was it by alot? Again I know it's probaly silly but it's just something I've been wondering about. :smile:

my breasts have got quite alot smaller & im so glad..i do like my breasts, but i always felt people were talking to them instead of me & it made me feel uncomfortable, so now i can put a sweatshirt on without having 2 mountains in front of me, now theyre 2 hills....

people are diff from where they lose the weight, im lucky as ive noticed its been coming off everywhere on my body so far

I went down 5 bra sizes and one cup size. I think alot depends on the overall amount you need to lose. I always said ill just be happy when my boobs stick out further then my stomach! Thank god they now do.

I went from a 44DD to a 36DD. I find a great bra is crutial! Spend the money. My favorite is the Victoria's Secret, "very sexy bra". it has little pillows in the bottom of the cup that lift my "sagginess" right up! LOL. I would love to have PS, but not sure its in my budget any time soon, so I spent the $$ on some good bras. They run about $60-80 each, but if you catch them on end of season sales, you can get them for $15 or so. Also, you can find them on ebay. I've got another one coming my way now.

OMG....aren't those the best bras EVER!

I've gone from a 40DD to a 36DD....as long as I'm wearing a good bra, my boobs still look pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself......

YES.....invest in a good bra and I concer the the Very Sexy Push Up bra is miracle worker!!

It's not silly. It's a legitimate concern.

I have lost most of my breast tissue. I started off as a 44 H. 104 pounds later I'm a 36 D. If I'm not wearing a bra, I'm pretty much flat chested. I love not having such big breasts anymore. It was such a hindrance. I couldn't fold my arms, I couldn't sit close to a table. It just was a constant bother. Now I feel normal. I don't mind the deflated breast-thing because a bra fixes the problem enough for me.

I was looking at the Victoria's Secret website and there are so many choices in the Very Sexy bra category. Is there a specific one you recommend?

I wish I could send you a link, but I'm at work, and they have that site blocked. The one I like is the Very Sexy Push up. It will describe it with "pillows or padding or something like that. The padding is in the bottom of the cup. If you can't find it, let me know I will send the link to you this evening

God, I hope they get smaller because they are in the D range now. But as of yet, I am almost 40 pounds down, since my surgery three months ago and they are not decreasing in size.

I am losing inches every where else but not in my breasts.

I've definitely lost a cup size - from a D to a C.

I decided not to worry about it, because I think they still look damned fine! - or maybe they just stand out more now that my giant stomach isn't there to compete.

I didn't lose mine. I went from a 40D to a 36DD. I think it is a matter of how much breast tissue as opposed to fat you carry in your breasts. I also still seem to have a relatively nice shape as well even if they don't look the same at 33 as they do at 18.

If I remember correctly, you are very young. I think that might help as far as shape is concerned. Also, thinner and with a good bra . . . you are going to look great regardless of how they are hanging.

Hello!

I am the same weight you were pre-op and have the same size breasts you did (wonderful words...WERE and DID hey!).

I have the same goal weight as you too.

I'm just wondering...I've had to kids that I nursed for a year each. My breasts are very large and heavy and have taken a beating over the past few years. Let's just say they're hanging pretty low! I am flat chested when I lay down LOL!

When I loss the weight you have (I'm scheduled in with dr.ortiz for April) will they be saggy and baggy?

Just wondering!

Ummm.. mine hung a little low too, but a push up bra with a little foam fixes everything. I also had two girls who nursed, so I understand, completely. Everyone is different... but mine are not really that bad. A bra fixes any sag you have... :thumbup:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
