So funny this topic showed up today! I just saw a girlfriend I hadn't seen since before surgery, and the first thing she said was "Where're your boobs?" I am down to a DD from a DDD cup, but she made me unzip my sweater to prove they hadn't disappeared completely!

Lol, yeah, sad but true. Mine have gone south too. Already looking for a surgeon for a lift. Unfortunately, when they get smaller, the extra skin that was stretched with them doesn't disappear.

I'm still early but I hope that I don't lose too much because I'm a big c/ lil D cup so I don't have much anyways. I just want a little bit of cleavage left.

I didn't like the shape of my boobs pre-op so I'm pretty sure post-op I won't feel much differently. I hope to get a lift (possibly implants too depending on how deflated they get) once I lose all the weight and stabilize. And save money for it. I know with a lift I'll have scars. It sucks.

I keep reading about all of these woman talk about their boob sizes. I know they will get smaller in size but are you ladies working out and working out those pectoral muscles?

I work out 1-3 hours per day including lifting (pecs are nice and strong-- with floppy pancakes attached). I also wear compressions everyday and take good care of my skin.... If you have a miracle exercise to add to my regimen, PLEASE let us know! Have you found the secret and aren't sharing???

No ma'am. I'm only two weeks post op. Haven't gotten the okay yet to work out. I guess it depends on the size from beginning to end and how fast the weight comes off, everyone is different.

Unfortunately breast tissue doesn't contain muscle so you can't work it out. When you lose the fat that is also In there with the breast tissue you get deflation. All exercise can do is make the muscle underneath stronger but you will still have the slinkys attached

Oh god...I wouldn't change having done this. But the saggy deflated boobs are a little depressing. I had this conversation with my boyfriend yesterday. He confirmed that they are changing... but assured me that he "still really really likes them" ;):D:(:mellow: I know my insurance will pay for reconstruction. I'll save up for breast surgery. I want to look good in and out of my clothes.

      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.
