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.

      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.
