Hey guys. I was just wondering how much (on average of course) breast size goes down after surgery? I know everyone is different, but I'm just wondering what to expect. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I have already dropped a cup size and two band sizes. I wasn't that gifted in the breast department to begin with. It is very depressing. :(

I have lost a cup size after losing 120 pounds. I was a D and now I am a C. Hopefully I won't go down anymore as I am almost at my goal weight.

I have lost several band sizes at this point but not the cup size yet, I am sure as I continue to lose weight that will change too.

I went from a solid, perky, happy 40/42 D/DD (depending on the bra cut) to a TINY 32B.

The trend I've noticed since being around and watching other women's progress is those who were well-endowed before weight gain set in, they were able to keep a lot of their volume. For those of us who only had big boobs because we were fat, lose them to a much more drastic degree. I remember being a b/c cup in middle and high school before I got fat so I'm pretty sure I just wasn't meant to have big boobs at a normal weight.

I just got measured this weekend and went form a 42C to a 40C and I have so far lost 42 pounds. (sadly so close to victoria secrets 38C but not yet)!

I had a boob reduction in 2000, got rid of 14 lbs off each breast. Was then wearing 44DD and now after WLS and 2 years later a nice 38 D

I have lost 83lbs and several band sizes but no cup loss yet (still a D and sometimes a DD ;) ) but I still plan on losing another -40lbs...I am guessing I will eventually maybe end up in a C cup...only time will tell.

Sadly they have been the first thing to go for me. I have gone from a 42DD to a 38C in 2 months. I hope they stop shrinking now!!!

Started 42D... ended up 34B/C - happily today I am a 34 F!!! ;) Everything is fixable.. even if it's just by buying amazing bras. Maidenform makes a really great lifting and Full Filling bra - can "pump you up" about 2 cup sizes if that's your thing.

I think it does depend a lot on genetics, I was a 46F at my highest, and I'm a 34F now. I've only got a bit more left, and I'm thinking it isn't coming off there. Hopefully anyway!

You mean these two saggy piles of skin I have on my body that were once my big boobs? I always had big boobs now there gross. I was a 46DD now 40D ?, but my bra is to big and I don't want to buy another one yet.

In high school and college I was a 34C, gained weight and went up to a 38C and remained there for a long time. I gained more weight in the last 4 years and went up to a 40C/D. I have lost 37.5 pounds and now my bras are too big. I cant get in all the 38C's yet but my 40's are too big. So I think its safe to say that my band size is going down but my cup size isnt yet. I have lost about 3 inches in my chest so far. I am waiting to buy new bras so I dont have to spend so much money on them. My hubby is always asking if I think I will loose my boobs. I am hoping they just return to the 34C I wore when I was younger, they just wont be as perky!

      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.
