Question for the ladies...



Recommended Posts

So far, I'm in the same cup size but they're less full. Actually, they've gotten droopy. I told my hubby that once I get to my goal weight, after all the exercise I can do to "pump them up" LOL!, I may consider a breast lift. I don't wanna work this hard and have droopy boobs!

Mine got much smaller which I'm happy about but they look absolutely horrible...they are covered in stretch marks, hang so low that I could tuck them into my belt and no firmness to them whatsoever.

well, it is not that they got smaller it is my bra which got loose. I cant really notice them well but my bra said it all.. yes they are some how loose but with some strength training believe me they get firmer.

46DD to a 38C. I always had a big chest, even when I wasn't overweight. This is a great size for me. No backaches and running isn't too hard with this size.

This should not just be a question for the ladies. My wife tells me I've gained a few cup sizes in recent years as well! If I lose too much weight I just may consider implants. I don't want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe, if you see what I mean.

Unfortunately not, lol. I dont have huge boobs - in proportion to me, I am an E cup but 5ft 10, so I dont have the kind of bustline where people dont talk to my face. They suit me OK. But its hard to buy bra's for an E, especially when you've shrunk to an Australian 12-14 band size, its a speciality size, not an off the rack size.

I'm seriously considering a liposuction reduction to a D cup. I run a lot and I really could do without the wolf whistles and hoots on the main roads as well, they do cause a bit of a stir when they're bouncing up and down! I wouldnt go a full reduction due to the scarring, and even though they're a bit on the sad side after 7 years of breastfeeding 3 children, I dont really care about that either. I'd just like to be able to run in more comfort and buy bras more easily.

I have never been well endowed. The most I ever was, I wore a 46C. I have only lost 38 lbs and I am down to 44B. My breasts are already sagging with stretch marks. But I don't care. I can't wait till I can buy a bra off the "regular rack".

Later on down the road... A pin up/perk me up job maybe. Right now, I don't think I would be interested in implants.

I am a mammography tech, and it does depend on your age, and the make up of your breast tissue. When we are younger, the breast tissue is made up primarily of fibrocystic, dense tissue. Very little is truly fat. So if you lose when you are younger, not much should come from the breast, but a lot will lose from around your rib cage. As we age, it becomes more fatty tissue, especially after menopause. So as we age, and lose weight, more weight will be lost from the breast tissue comparatively to a 20 year old.

      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.
