I had my boobs reduced in 1984, I had the excess put on ice so when they figure out how to do male extensions my DH would already have donated tissue.

Who'd ever thought they'd come back, but at least they're where they're suppose to be instead of around my waist.

I am absolutely going to have a reduction done after I've lost my weight. I actually had a friend's teenager (daughter) ask me if I used to be in porn. I wasn't quite sure how to take that...

Yeah, I have dreams of being a D cup... While I was breast feeding my son, my dear supportive mother told me I looked like a circus freak...

Greg,

Your weight is falling off even from the last time I talked to you. What is your secret? And what is an average day of eating for you? Give me an example, please! Thanks

Big boobs are a bummer. I am checking out a reduction right now. I've got Aetna and I tried with them in 1997 and 2000 and got turned down both times. Their answer was loose weight...Well, my answer is I am loosing weight and this time I will even lie about what I weigh. My shoulders feel like they are holding up 2 watermelons and I am in pain 23/7 and have been for years. My doc said to get it done now and he will through in a lift. They surely won't do it when I am thin.

Greg,

You have definitely been on a roll in this thread. And I had pegged you for a nice reserved man. What happend to him, where did he go??? Ok ladies, dont tell me he's really Dr. Heckle and Mr. Tide.

I would suppose that Dr. Heckle was out this go round. And when the clean Greg returns he's Mr. Tide. He is quite the comedian. Did you all look at the card he sent us. Hilarious!!!!

      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.
