OK Girls.. what the heck is the story

[BookWorm 87]

While were on the subject of underthings.....Bought my first thong this past weekend (my wedding anniversary). Never would have done it before the sugery but it was worth it to see my husband's reaction.

I think I need to have a bra fitting. I kept insisting that while may back size has decreased my cup has stayed the same except I tried a smaller cup for *hits and giggles and it fit.

My grandmother and mother refer to "Hangsie-Downsie" and now at 52 I'm afraid I'm going to find out what that is! And right now I'm at about sixty pounds down and still have more to go -- but very glad to be diminishing that back fat -- hate that under a sweater, blouse, etc. Bye-Bye!

The cup size on a 44D is still going to be bigger than the cup size on a 38D. That's what I've gone from, my chest has gotten smaller, but only a bit. I actually didn't even buy new bras until a few weeks ago and strangely enough most of my old panties still fit even though I'm down over 80lbs.

Isn't that weird? Panties must be very stretchy! I have ones that still fit as well and I am down 110lbs!

My boobs are always the first to go. I'm down to a 42C from a 44D, and I think at this point a 42C is generous. I'm probably more like a 40 or 42B. My problem area is the tummy and ass. That fat holds on for days. I don't mind having junk in the trunk but seriously butt, some of you need to leave the party and migrate back to my boobs.

Who is ever gonna see mine except my hubby? And his are drooping at the same rate mine are! lol

I went from a 46DDD to a 42DD like overnight. And now the 42 seems to fit around but the cup is too big. Tried to go bra shopping one day but I wasn't in a very good mood and got discouraged really quick. They are definitely deflated. The hubby says who cares and he's the only other person that will see them, so...

Bra size dropped, but the cup size has stayed the same. My boobs now have more of a tear drop effect. LOL

my husband decided to give his opinion and called my boobs "flap jacks"

now tell me, is this not justifiable homicide???

This is pure awesomeness. It's shark week (ahem) here and this is first time I've not been able to drown my hormonalness in food so I was at a loss. Now I'm laughing my arse off!

Oh you silly girl ..................... I would kill to have my girls back....Mine are hanging to my waist and need to be rolled up into my bra...Please be careful for what you wish for....I have to have plastics to fix mine..Oh would I like to have some of them back...lol

It's not over yet and maybe you will lose them yet. Be happy you still have those.....Some of us, well it ain't pretty!

I'm 8 mos out and I went from a 42DD to a 36D, not a huge cup change but OMG they are so not cute! They are almost 2 dimensional now! I'm ok with them being big but they need to point straight ahead not to the floor lmao! I am super super pleased with my band size tho!!

OMG YES! Mine are the same and if my hubby dared say that he get a flapjack to the side of his face bwahahah!

Yes cup size is the difference between around your rib cage under your chest and the largest part of your chest. So a 36C is much smaller than a 44C.

I went from a 44D to a 36B but it didn't fit right - I didn't know my real size or how to choose a bra for my new shape (or lack of one). My girls were totally deflated, flat, and shapeless. I'm 54, breastfed 3 babies, and had been overweight for 30 yrs so any elasticity was gone. I despaired of finding a bra that would do what I needed it to. I went to Victoria's Secret and got measured. It turned out I was a 32D. But when I put it on the skin at my sides hung over the band. The girl said I could go up to a 34C and that fit much more comfortably without forcing a bulge of loose skin. I found that a full cup w/a wider band worked best for my saggy girls and loose skin. I bought the bra and actually had my girls up where they belonged again.

Now knowing my size and what style worked best for me, I could look for bras that fit well. Then I discovered an "Olga To A Tee" (model #35145) bra at Marshalls - the fit and style was identical to the VS bra but if felt even more comfortable. They only had one but Kohl's carries them ($38). I waited for a good sale and combined w/a coupon I got them for around $20ea. I ordered three. I'm VERY happy with them. :-)

My work partner was complaining the other day about how teeny and flabby her boobs had gotten. She was never more than a plump B cup anyways. She pulled up her bra to show me and yes, they are little nubbins that really require no bra. She showed me how they sagged when she bent over. I was like, REALLY?!! I will show you something to cheer you up". So I whipped mine out, bent over and let them dangle. (Was DD now B cups) She was like, "WOW!" And she felt better immediately.

Glad the girls can still bring joy to someone's life. (And there's no such thing as TMI in a small town )
