I am most definitely still a work in progress.

Just went to buy new bras today, its actually harder than it was previously.

I've gone down a back size, but my bazoongas havent shrunk which means to go down a back size I had to go up a cup size. I'm now a 16E as opposed to the 20DD I was when I started (had a couple of old 18DD's lying round).

Its VERY difficult to find a bra in a large cup size but relatively small back size.

Not only that but I went in the disabled change room becuase I had my daughter in the pusher with me, and I got to view myself full length from a good 2 to 3 metres away. :faint: Um, what was I thinking? I've been swanning round feeling fantabulously hot, lol. Nuh uh, no way. Still loads of work to do on this old bod. Those love handles and back boobs are still there, just smaller.

And I'm definitely certain I'm having a breast lift and reduction, maybe even before I get all the way to goal, say at about 80kg. They are a disaster, mammoth sized and soooooo droopy and saggy, they look worse than half the before pics you see.

But boy do they look good in brand new bra's. I cant see my feet, they look like two cantaloups sitting on my chest!

Hahahaha, dont you just love those fitting room mirrors. They give me a complex. Wow with that size breast I think the reduction would be covered, it would have to cause backpain and problems later on.

I walk around feeling all svelt too -- and then I see myself in the mirror and I'm still large!! Duh -- I weigh over 200lbs -- that's NOT petite!!! You know what though, it's relative to the size we used to be, and dang it, we've worked hard and should feel good! You know what E cup today is D cup in a few months, that's what I say!!!! Enjoy your success and just let it keep inspiring you!

Jacqui,

LMBO... where else can you talk about 'bazoongas' and people completely understand?!

MY bazoongas look like cantelopes IN a bra, but take the bra off and they drop into tube socks. What a before and after shot THIS would be!

And Im too chicken for BR, so... my chances of ever going braless are NEVER.

Even though the store mirror's showed some flaws, just remember...

You may not be where you want to be.

But *THANK GOD* you are NOT where you used to be! :clap2: :clap2:

Yeah those dressing room mirrors can make you laugh and cry. They tell the truth so we have to listen. I normally end up saying to myself "what were you thinking" yes sometimes go straight home sniviling in the car.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
