Hey ladies I have a question. I am still going through all of my preop things and I am wondering, How much of my boobs will lose? When I lost my weight after my divorce I went from D to a C cup, but when I gained my weight back I didn't regain my boobs. So I am now a C and I am really worried that I am going to lose even more!!! So please let me know how much it affected you.

Thank you very much for all of your input.

I went down about a cup size, perhaps more, becuase I was definitely wearing the wrong size bra before and rectified that after the Oprah show on bra size was shown here. So overnight I went from a 20DD to a 16E, and since then I've gone down to 12DD.

But they're very flat now compared to before, it takes a lot of support to life them where they should be and when I lie down on my back, I can balance four full coffee cups on my chest (we did an experiment one day). It creeps me out, my boobs disappear under my arms and there's a huge expance of very bony chest, you can feel and see every single rib and a huge dent in the middle where the solar plexus is. And you can SEE my chest thump as my heart beats *shudder*.

There is nothing left of my chest and back, I"m really skinny there. You can see all the muscles in my back too.

I want to lose more weight from below, just a bit, but I really do NOT want to shed any more from up top or I'm going to start looking sick. I'm amazed there's any boobs there at all, but when they're lifted they'll look fine.

Whats left of my boobs is a 14C or 12D depending on the bra. I started at a 20DD.

I recall someone once posting about this exact topic saying that theirs were like 2 wet sports socks hanging on their chest - I can totally relate. Thank goodness for good bras that keep me looking my age when I'm clothed!

I started in a tight 46DD and now I"m wearing a loose 40DD. Cup is just now starting to loosen some, but I lost alot around the back area. I hope to loose a cup, I'd love to be a D cup.

You all make me so nervous I only have about 80 pounds to lose so I hope I dont have wet socks on my chest. I plan on having a boob job done when I am done losing my weight if its that bad, but I am really hoping that my boobs aren't affected and I wont have to spend the money on a boob job. I just feel like at 22 I shouldn't have empty floopy boobs. Thank you all for your replies.

I have lost a ton of inches from my bust measurement. I started out at 47 inches and am now down to 42. Its a little scary as to where I'm gonna end up. I started out a 42C and now I'm a loose 40C, probably could stand to be a 40B.

LOL! I've never tried the cup balancing thing but I can totally relate the the boobs taking permanent residence under my arms! Oh, and if you lay on your side, they connect together and make one boob on one side and flat chest on the other!

I went down from a 42DD to a 36D, I'm happy there. But my bras are now more like armor. They're padded, underwire, with little Water balloon thingys to lift and support. When I take my bra off, they flop. LOL! Oh well.

At surgery I was full 42DD and I'm down to a loose 38DD. I'm almost down a cup size. Depending on the bra style I may be in a D now. I'm going to get professionally measured when I get to onderland. I hope I can be down to a full C at goal weight. I don't like being too top heavy - I think it makes you look heavier all over. At my heaviest (and post baby) I was a 44DDDD and my back killed me - of course I looked like the michilan tire man all over so it may have been the fat that hurt my back too.

      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.
