I Thought These Would Go Away....



Recommended Posts

I realize I am only at 6 weeks and as of this morning I'm down 43 lbs. HOWEVER I went shopping yesterday and bought some pants, went from size 24 to an 18. I was SO excited. I then went and got fitted for a bra..... no excitment. I started this journey at a 46 FF and I am now a 40 FF. So the band went down but nothing came off the cup.

Now I wasnt expecting them to be way down to a B cup or lower. When I was 12 I was a DD already and wasnt not overweight at all. I also realize they have plenty of time to go down, but how frustrating to find the only thing I havent lost anything off of is my breats.

I want smaller, easier to manage boobs!!!! If they dont go down with the rest of me that means MORE surgery to get a reduction.

Ok end of vent. I know its not something some people would be upset about, but these things are out of control lol

From your mouth to Gods ears. I kept being told by those around me that have had the surgery the first things they lost were their behinds and boobs.

A D cup in 44 is not the same size as a D cup in a 36. At least that's what they told me at the bra fitting department.

keep in mind that the 40FF cup is actually smaller than the 46FF cup. So I bet they are smaller :)

*sigh* ... even though I am a guy. I lost my butt too! It was funny when a coworker came up to me and said "boo, where did you hide your ass?" while looking for it.

My bras are custom made because of the size. And based on measurements they are exactly the same. My bra girl told me she has seen this before and to relax because they will get smaller in time.

I'm hoping for a nice D when I'm done.

I never had one to begin with. Lol. I spoke to a trainer this past week and said I want exercises that will help enhance my late of butt.

I'm 6 weeks out too, and down 41 pounds now, but have not gone down a size in clothes yet, they're getting loser, so it's getting close. But how amazing for you to be down so many sizes, that's awesome!! I feel your pain with the boobs though. I'm a 46DDD and I'm praying to get to a full C or even a D when I'm done losing weight. It is a pain to have such large breasts, not all it's cracked up to be sometimes. I say give yourself some more time, they're starting to "shrink" a little I'm sure, if your band size went down. Just give it some time. Congratulations on the weight loss so far though and the sizes you've gone down!

Ha! It just shows the grass is always greener! I am a pear shaped woman who needed breasts for balance! Three weeks out and my girls have shrunken noticeably... But my hips are still here!

Crazy how we are so different, I am only down 37 pounds in 8 weeks but down from a 22 in pants to a 16. I was upset the scale wasn't moving faster but I guess I am seeing it in my clothes so I will be happy with that! Do you think this has anything to do with our starting weights?

That's great. I think we are all just shaped differently. I'm tall and my weight was distributed through my body fairly evenly. I'm happy the weight is dropping and sizes

My cousin went from a size 18/20 to a size 2/4, she didn't lose her boobs until the last 10-15lbs of her weightloss. She went from a full D to barely a B, so it is possible for them to shrink.

Ps. She's never had small boobs, are family is gifted (cursed?) with large ones so she was surprised when she lost them

I feel your pain. I'm down 30 pounds and everything has gotten smaller EXCEPT the things I wanted to go down the most! My F cup boobies! I'm praying they catch up with the rest of me eventually!

      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.
