for women: they STILL wont go anywhere



Recommended Posts

Hi, so far I feel I am doing well with my lap band. I am in Onederland for the first time in 16 years, my plantar facitis is completely gone, I can walk miles and not die. However "the girls" are still the same. I am on the smaller size as far as my frame is considered but I have always been busty. Im 5'2" and started this journey with a bust size of 40DD, now I'm 36DD. I still get back pain, I still get the digging in on my shoulders from my bra straps. I have lost 40lbs. so my question is, do I still have hope that by losing more weight I will get to a smaller size or should I go ahead and make my appt for a reduction consult.? thanks for your help

You probably have lost whatever you will on the "girls". sorry, I am about the same on top as you. Best wishes, maybe a breast reduction later on would help. It would probably be medically necessary, so paid for by insurance.

I had an E cup and deflated to a B cup full of nothing but skin when I lost the weight. I had implants to get them back up to a DD cup! We should have swapped boobs!!

@lellow lol yes we should have switched. I really want to go down since I'm trying to get into walking/running. Tx

      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.
