Hi everyone -

If you had/have moobs, have they reduced and/or toned up? How long and/or how many pounds did you happen to lose before noticing a difference?

If you did specific exercises (realizing that targeting areas is almost impossible), what did you do?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Bench presses sitting with your back at a 30-45 degree incline.

Major moobs here, but then almost everything was major ;). Except that, darn.

I am almost 70# down and seeing shrinkage finally, the legs, back arms etc all reduced first but the great middle is finally going away. Weight loss is the biggest ingredient, but lots of focus on core development in aerobic swimming and intensive weights etc. is building more muscle.

took awhile, are they smaller, sure, but gone, not even close. My surgeon, PCP and all my trainers all agree, its pretty much an impossibility at my age (44) , much younger people with much less weight to lose 100 pounds say, sure its doable, but when you get older skin elasticity decreases dramatically, putting chest muscle behind wont make them smaller, just more pronounced. So all my docs agree surgery is going to be the option at some point. especially, depending on how long you've been overweight, much of the tissues in them can actually be tissue and not fat.

So along with the panny, plastic surgery on the chest area, is going to be a way of life. after i win the lottery and figure out how to pay for it. Trying to do all this 3 years into a bankruptcy is not advised. Thankfully ill be alive to see the upcoming years of financial struggles. so there is a bright side.

Moobs? Yes, I had'em pre-surgery. They weren't very noticeable when I was 275 pre-surgery. But they blossomed when I was 375!. They shrank considerable post-op, but are a little droopy now that I'm down 170lbs. My girlfriend doesn't seem to mind. :-)

Yeah this is an area that I am most worried about. A big rack looks great on a chick...not great on a guy. lol

      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.
