Breasts

Ladies, I hear everything U are saying and U R not alone. Me, I will need my arms done, I know this already, and I do want to  buy some boobs, I was never bit, ever, just a B cup. Michelle

 Boobs.  What a pain in the ass they are!!  Or pain in the back, as the case may be.

I started out pre-op as a tight 48DDD.  61 pounds down, 4 months out, I'm down to a just-right 40DDD.  The girls ARE much smaller, (hallelujah!) so I'm thinking that the cup sizes must go down proportionately with the band size too.  I still have my old 48DDD (motivation--NEVER AGAIN!!) and when I compare the old bra with the current one, there is a very significant difference in the cups.  

As for the sag factor... I've NEVER been perky so I've got kind of a "whatever" attitude about it. The trade off is that my back isn't on fire 24/7 like it used to be so I'm just fine with it.  At this point, I don't give a crap so much about how they look--anything is an improvement from the milk-jugs I was lugging around before.  I just make sure I stick with  good sturdy full-coverage -- no balconette styles for me -- just gotta pack 'em into something that won't allow for fallout.

Good luck--I truly know how you feel!

 I was wearing 42DDD and am now down to 36DDD. I lost weight before and ended up with 34DDD I should say 34 long. Yes they get long and saggy. I for one echo others in saying I am tired of lugging them around. I wouldn't mind being a C but not any smaller.

Thank ya'll for your candor.  I too was never too perky, and my back kills me, so I guess it is going to be a waiting game to see what happens!!!! Actually, this is not on the top of my list (close though) My surgery is in 8 days so I am more worried about thatAnd the water intake et al....

Like I said I guess it will be a waiting game with  "Laverne and Shirley", I still have some bras from when I was younger (it is amazing the things we hold on to!!) and I am hoping that maybe everything will "adjust" so I can hold off in buying more....

Thanks again Ladies!!!

Regards,
Sabrina

 We hang onto the old ones for 2 reasons:

1) you "never know" if you might need them again (funny)

2) they were so freaking expensive in the first place, you feel like a sinner if you throw them away.  Kinda like the clean plate club--you just don't want to "waste" stuff you spent good money on!

In my case, it ended up being a good thing that I was a "saver" because those old too-small bras DID get used again for a short period of time.  So hell yeah, hang onto 'em.  And then when they become too big, it's a "Woo hoo!" when you can throw 'em out!  

Here's wishing you smaller boobies!

Aloha- in my house, we call them Snoopy Ta Tas. Pointing at the ground, and reminiscent of Snoopy's nose. It will be the GREATEST thing to get a lift and have them pointing where they used to.

And I thought this post would be about chicken breast.....XOXOLori

I've only lost about 35 pounds but have lost both bra size and cup size.

tube socks, hmm, not quite but I do think they look like a couple zucchini!

it's worth it, though, and with a bra they still look like breasts!

Ooh, how I wish for boobs to be gone!  I started this journey in a 44DD and now wear a 38DD.  I really hope to lose some some cup sizes. Mine were perky for about 10 mintues when I was 12 years old.  I have no illusions that I will ever have anything but boobs on permanent low beam!  I am not sure I even want good fake boobs.  I want to spend what plastics money I can scrape up to do my tummy tuck and hopefully my bat wings.

Everyone is different.

I just bought new bras. In clothes, I'm down 3 sizes. In bra straps I'm down 4... BUT I went UP a cup size. I'm so annoyed!!

If I don't get down to C at the end of this road, I'm getting a reduction.
