Please excuse the bold language! I have a question for the woman...sorry fellas :) I have a love hate relationship with my breast. when I was a teen I went to sleep and woke up in a D cup, now 11 yrs later I am in a 38jj. Whenever I lost weight prior my boobs barely changed. I would LOVE for them to go down during this transition but I still want something (my trademark) what are some of the changes some of you noticed when the weight started to come off? My fears are I will be 160 lbs w/ JJs or 160 lbs w/ As...ideally I would like to be 160 lbs w/ Ds or DDs...but realistically I know time will only tell...thought it would be an,interesting topic!

LOL - great thread! Ya, I seem to lose from the top on down - my boobs are now skin that want to point at the ground. They do fill my DDD cups but even my husband told me yesterday my bra is too big.

Yep, you'll lose some, for sure, but I think if you always had big ones, you're still going to have some when you're done. It's not only the size; it's also the texture and directional change, if you get my drift--sagging is pretty common and there's not a lot that can be done about that nonsurgically. I'm a big believer in great, expensive, well-made bras; that's my new indulgence, since food isn't such an expense any more.

Ha! Yes! I've had five babies(nursed them all) and they're still in very nice shape BUT I wear a GOOD bra night and day. I'm hoping hoping this weightloss won't be any different. :)

I used to have glorious perky DDD's.

Now they are like a baseball in a tube sock.

Get used to buying new bras and shelling out a pretty penny.

If youre so inclined... start saving for plastics too!

I was a DD before and I'm still a D or DD (depends on the type of bra) but I went down from a 44 to a 36 around. Gravity is definitely NOT my friend, but I still have a lot up top. I think everyone is different so you will just figure out where you are when you get there!

Well, I'm sad to say that not only have I lost significant boobage, my butt decided to join the girls! There is not much left. :( its like my legs just keep going. I think I'm sadder about my booty than the boobies. At least I can put on a pretty bra and pretend. There's nothing that's going to camouflage the lack of buttness.

I'm worried about this too as I feel big tatas of some of my trademark as well. However, I think part of my pride in my chest is due to shame about the other parts of my body so that's what I've always marketed to men and, consequently, gotten the most attention for.

I've lost 80 (65 pre-op) and it was the first area I started losing. I've whined a lot about my shrinking boobies. Every time I've worn a bathing suit this summer someone has commented about it. Although, they actually FIT in my bathing suit tops now instead of fall out. lol I think everyone is different. My aunt, who was banded and lost 90, has maintained most of her chest so she tells me not to worry.

I went bra shopping at a week post-op and, much to my delight, I went down a band size but was still in a DDD right now. But I do feel like my bras just one size bigger are huge on me. I just wish I could lose something in my hips because I was always proportionate and now I'm becoming pear shaped (not in a good way).

My weight is coming off slow and steady, but I have definitely lost some of my boobs. That is totally fine with me as I stopped buying bras at a double D and started wearing sports bras.

At this point, things look pretty decent. I have noticed a few stretch marks showing as they are shrinking which I don't love, but overall I am pleased they are not hanging on the floor.

I keep reminding myself that just about anything can be corrected in the future once my weight loss is complete. :)

I am 48 DD right now, and they're already pretty saggy. I'm hopeful that they may perk up, LOL. I am thankful for this thread, though: this is something I've been wondering about myself!

      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.
