So it begins, sagging skin already

[csawesome 181]

I knew it would come, heck I ALMOST welcomed it. Saggy skin means less fat, less weight.

But I didn't expect it to be so dramatic so soon. And of all places it started in my boobs. Come on, the one place it's okay to be big. Mine weren't giant, so I really didn't expect to lose much from them, I am (or was :/ ) only a cup size larger than when I was thin. Really body, there is plenty to lose from my stomach, my thighs, my arms first.

Despite that it's obviously fat loss, I am not sure this one counts as a victory.

Adding boob job to first plastics expense list....

Well, I'd try to say something encouraging about how loose skin can bounce back a little bit (though not usually near enough), but with your boobs, gravity will definitely be working against you. On the plus side, my boob job so much fun! Once you are past the expense, pain, and recovery, you will be loving life!

During the weight loss phase, do try wearing a supportive bra as much as possible. I even have a couple of sleep bras because I don't want the weight of my breasts pulling at the skin when I toss and turn. I have no idea if it really has helped, but it appears so; I have some very slight wrinkly skin when I lean over a certain way, but otherwise, the breasticle area has held up well (but I haven't lost hardly anything in the actual cup sizing, just the band size).

I've already been checking out prices for the "mommy makeover". It's sad

You know what's funny? My immediate postop weight came off my top half - one of my friends said "you're emptying from the top down!".

And then it evened out. Just in terms of inches, my greatest loss has been round my hips. I have no idea what is going on with this, but hey, losses, is losses.

And yeah, the boob lift will be first, but the way this apron is drooping, that can't be far behind.

I can totally relate @@2goldengirl 37 pounds down and I'm positive it's all from my top half.

[csawesome 181]

I should say after nursing a couple of kids for two years each and being 36 they weren't exactly show stoppers to start... trade off's. At least as my bands I've gets smaller I will be able to get nice padded bras to hid it until surgery.

Seems to be mostly my lower half so far. 40lbs down and my thighs are loosening up and starting the dreaded thigh rub. Bought some compression shorts. Seems to help a bit.

@@PaulaB72 I'm looking for knee length compression shorts, to hold in all my loose thigh skin. What kind did you get? Are they comfortable to wear all day? Do they work well?

Thanks in advance
