Yay started losing again. Thirty pounds.....I knew I would have to exercise and it is working. So happy! I can fit into smaller jeans now and they are comfortable. I do have a question though. I haven't lost anything in the chest area, they just seem to be bigger. Is that common? In the past I would lose there first.....what's up with that?

First of all, congratulations on your weight loss.

As far as the upper area? Personally, I wouldn't be questioning it, just be grateful. I'm not a big girl up top as it is & I am worried about how small they may get over time.

My friend who was sleeved last February went from a 38D to a 32A after an 80 pound loss.

I told my husband that if that happened to me, we'd have to go on a search and rescue mission. Either sometime of cosmetic surgery or a lot of bra padding! He said that would be false advertising! :001_tongue: :ohmy:

Woot! Congrats on your losses! :001_tongue:

Wow...I'm a 40DD. Wonder what I'll be after. :ohmy: Oh well, at least I won't have to buy bigger tops just so they fit over the girls! Haha.

SAME here! Only 1.2 pounds down, but I am officially out of the 250s!!!! WHEW!

I weighed 249.6 today. I will take it!

Now I hope I can keep it up!

Maybe just the stress held it on, because after my dr appt yesterday and my surgeon's encouragement I have felt thinner and better and just keep thinking positive about all the weight that is to come.

I have lost over 34 lbs in less than 2 months!

YAY

I think you should send me some photos of them and I'll help you keep track of them as you progress through your transformation. :drool:

First off many congrats on your loss thus far ! ! !

I went from a 40-42D/DD to a 36C. I lost all roundness, and volume. I call them my "deflated" fun bags at this point.

Some women just don't lose their boobs. I lost lots of inches around, and lots of back fat. I'm definitely getting new ones after baby in a couple of years.

Enjoy yours while they last, maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones ! ! !

hahaha, Tiff your funny! In 2001 I had a major breast reduction the girls were huge, I wore a 58FF bra (custom made) they removed 14lbs off one and 12lbs off the other. . .now i wear a 42DD very comfortably, however, since the surgery I've lost a bit and noticed that the 42DD is very loose (literally) I can imagine I'll end up with biscuits for boobs, but that is ok with me. . . i've never been a fan of boobs. . .

i have to agree with tiff. my boobs and butt are both deflating. i don't like the boob part. want the butt to disappear for good. but would love it if the boobs would stay put and not look like a deflated tire..

Just remember band size proportional to bust size is how you calculate cup size.

The underwire in a 34D is the same size wire as a 36C which is the same as 38B, etc.

I started out at a 44DD dropped down to a 34H and now am sitting at a 34F. My band size has gone down faster than my bust and therefore my cup size went UP but the girls are WAY SMALLER. The wire in my 34F is the same size wire as a 38D or 40C or 42B. I too thought they were getting bigger, but it was just because my rib cage was losing the fat faster.

I don't have any boobs left. It's ridiculous. I would never spend the money on a boob job, but I definitely have small tube socks for boobs.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
