Breast smaller due to weight loss



Recommended Posts

@Stevehud This is true! I still love mine, and don't want to lose them LOL! I have had them since I was in grade school, they are part of me...

I agree with whoever said that if they have always been pretty big that you will lose less of them. Mine were large at a normal weight from normal breast tissue/fat, but kept getting bigger in proportion to my weight gain. When I lost to goal with the band they went back to my pre-gain size, but not as perky.

I'm fine with being a C up. I'm on 5'2"½ so that's more than enough. I agree with @@Stevehud and would hope that people thought more of me than my breast size.

I fully expect mine to disappear - lol. I have been over 300lbs since grade school (except a year when i was battling cancer). I think it's done a real job on my hormones - so I figure I'll be kissing them good bye and living in sports bras for the rest of my life. Maybe I should plan a boob funeral.... Lol

I went from a 46/48 DD to a 40/42D- depends on bra style as to whether I'm a forty or forty two, I have twenty pounds to go so will probably be a 38 D when 8'm done.

Well how I eat now is WAY different than at 8 weeks. Back then I still got stuffed on a couple tablespoons of food, so I was shooting for as much Protein as I could in every bite. I didn't feel "normal" until 4 months out. That's when I could eat a little more, started mixing in more veggies and fruit, and didn't have to struggle each day just to meet goals.

At 6 months I could eat a small plate of whatever everyone else was eating ....heavy on the Protein dishes, less of the carbs. At 10 months my restriction loosened even more and I found I could eat more and still maintain. Thats pretty much where I still am.

Yesterday was a weekend so I did a lot of snacking. Here's what I had.....

1 egg omelet with cheese and sausage; 2 16oz cups of Decaf coffee with 1/2 and 1/2. leftover Chinese BBQ pork, raw cauliflower, broccoli and carrots dipped in spinach dip, peanuts, blueberries, plain Greek yogurt flavored with vanilla Protein powder and flax seed added for Fiber, a slice of braunschweiger, 12oz can of V8 juice, elk sausage with a couple bagel crisps, 32oz Water, white chocolate raspberry Quest bar, cottage cheese and fresh peaches.

I know it sounds like a lot, but the portions were small and that's typically how I eat on the weekends if I'm home. But in general I eat whatever I want whenever I'm hungry. On work days I don't get a lunch break but I always have a large protein smoothie and a Quest bar at some point in the day so I'm free to eat veggies, fruit and grains at mealtimes, rather than just protein.

.

Thanks for the info! That's exactly how I want to eat and I'm really looking forward to the day I can add fruits and nuts back into my diet. This surgery was exactly what I needed. I ate healthy for the most part but just ate huge portions. It was embarrassing but I always felt like I could eat more and the hunger was always ever present. I'm just going to have to learn how to manage the eating every couple of hours something small at work between classes.

Me too. I swear I didn't have the trigger that told my brain to stop eating....I was NEVER full. Now my sleeve does that for me! Just FYI, today was a more typical work day for me....

Fried egg and turkey sausage, 20oz decaf coffee, quest bar, protein smoothie (24oz/35g protein), beef Jerky, 32oz lifewater, homemade chicken noodle Soup loaded with veggies (heavy on the chicken light on the noodles), cottage cheese with peaches, glass of white wine (OK, so this is a once or twice/month treat), edamame, 1/2 mint chocolate Power Crunch bar (tastes like a Girl Scout thin mint)

Yep, more than likely, I was busting out of a 44DD, I went down to a 44C cup at 2½ months out, bought 2 new bras and now they are too big :o . I will wait before I buy anymore, lesson learned. LOL :wacko:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
