GIRLY ISSUES...You too?

Hello everyone! I was just wondering since most of us have the same problems about the same time, maybe this is bothering some of you also. For about 3 months now, my breasts are sore most of the time. I never had this before and wonder if it isn't the change in tissue distribution? I saw my OBGYN and he thought it wasn't a problem and found nothing but I just wonder if this is common in gastric bypass patients due to our changing shapes? Thanks in advance for posting! Tracy

Hmm.. You are not pregnant are you????? You know skinny people typically have alot more sex than people with MO. Seriously.. I haven't had this problem.. but then again I did have a breast reduction 4 years ago and I do have some residual numbness from that. Laura

I thought it was just me. Mine itch and burn sometime, too. Not seriously but between that and the discomfort, I thought there was a problem, but my PCP says all looks good. She thinks it's due to the loss of fatty tissue and they are becoming more sensitive. She suggested a change of type of bra. I found lovlies at Fredericks of Hollywood. The Liquid bra. Feels like you're wearing nothing and adds a little 'extra' to the eye. They're not cheap, around $45, but worth the comfort. Nona

My breasts are lumpy and saggy, but not really sore. My bones are sore though! I noticed alot of muscle soreness when I don't drink enough water. Also-might be hormones just releasing themselves, mocking signs of pregnancy. My PCP said that for about a YEAR I will have imbalances, irregular periods, ect. I hope this helps even a little.

Tracy!! Did you try to sneak in a new photo and think I wouldn't notice...lol. Look at you girl! You look terrific!! Congrats! ~Rachel

Dearest Tracy, I was laughing when I read your post. I was laughing to myself about the subject BREASTS. I really don't know if I should or . I had small breasts and now I have the "Animal Planet" breasts. I mean if you watch that station and see the momma gorilla with her baby, that is what my breasts look like. I don't have any soreness or pain... just as flat as pancakes.. I never liked push up bras but now........................No other choice...Take care Tracy... are watching you girl....Lorraine

Mine just get sore once a month, but my cramps are so bad that I barely notice. =P I am glad for the bra suggestions, cuz all I have is skin now. Allison

Mine are like Nona's... I get itchy but not any pain. I just had my yearly visit and I am "normal" but hey...by who's point of view? I can't wait until my weight says I'm normal! ~Rachel

Thanks to everyone who posted! Thanks for asking but No, Laura, I am NOT pregnant! Perish the thought! lol I had that taken care of years ago, I won't be one of those you hear about with a "surprise pregnancy" after surgery. UGH! They DO feel like when you are pregnant however. I have been wearing one of my old, and way too big sports bras full time. They seem to be a little better if supported. I had a mamogram appointment yesterday that I just could not face. I have heard about the VICE thingy that they clamp you into and since I am already sore, forget it! Rachel, did I get a new photo? The ones in my profile? I did some yesterday and some today. As for shape... HA! Gorillas!!!! I liken mine to the native women in the national geographics magazine. Long and thin from never being supported. I went from a 44 DD to a 36 LONG! Well, I guess it is just changing body shapes. Maybe after the lifts and ticks they will feel better! Anyone contacted a plastic surgeon yet??? Tracy
