A "GIRLIE" question... (OK, I know you boys will peek! We see YOU Peeking!)

All my life when I have lost those several hundred pounds (over and over), the FIRST thing to "go" was always my breasties! HOWEVER, this time, since my surgery, a strange phenomena has/is occuring.  They are getting biGGer?!?!?  Whazzup with that???????? I've gone from a C cup to a D, and even bought a new bra last week that is a DD!  I LIKED my C cups!  I want them b.a.c.k.! Now it IS nice that my stomach doesn't now stick out as far as my breasties do so I'm starting to have a "figure," but this breastie thing is a puzzle to me.

Has anybody else out there experienced this??????????

OMG!!!! You have me rolling!

I went from a 46 Barely B, to a 40 C, to a 38 D ... Now, I'm a 36 C. I imagine the deflation will continue if/when I lose the next 15 - 20 lbs.

I honestly was once shaped much like Rachel Ray ... if you can believe that ... Kind of flat on top and bigger in the kaboose. Now I'm a 12 on top and just bought another pair of size 8 pants. Go figure!

I'd rather have my porportions I was used to, but ....

Wendy.....  You do indeed make me smile.   This is one post that I will NOT tell my husband about!  LOL...!!!    He will be pushing me to walk on my treadmill more and more!   (men!!!)... wha hahahahaah!!    (and now he is wondering what I'm sitting here sneerking about....) 

My husband SWEARS my boobs are getting bigger and I keep telling him that's not how it works. It appears that, God forbid, I may have to concede on this one...... Bottom line - yup, mine are either growing or the areas surrounding it are shrinking and giving the illusion.  Either way - I haven't noticed any difference at all, so I can't really complain that nobody else (but DH) has noticed either.  Weird. BREASTIES RULE! Nikki

Ok, first let me say that mine did not grow, they shrank big time.  I went from a DD to a C and they're flat as pancakes.  So you'll get little sympathy from me.   Enjoy your good fortune! Second, let me see if I can explain the way that bras fit.  I think that what's happening is that you all aren't losing breast tissue (Again, lucky you.), but you're losing inches around your chest under your breasts.  Bras are designed so that the cup size increases or decreases with inches.  So a 36D and a 40C are going to have roughly the same cup volume.  You all are dropping inches, but not breast tissue,so you're needing bigger cup sizes to accomodate your breasts with the drop in inches.  Your breasts probably aren't actually growing, but it appears that way from the way bras are sized and because as your inches drop they ... um... stand out more. I hope this makes sense. Take care. Ellen

Yep! That's my understanding ... just lately, I've started losing breast cup size too. Since I started out flat chested, have always been flat chested, this ... even in it's temporary state has been an experience.

 

This has got me thinking......OMG!!  I'm ALREADY A DD!!   I wanted to be able to jog after WLS----without 2 black eyes!! I can picture me now....tripping over my two gargantuan hooters. Kelly :help:

VICTIM HERE VICTIM HERE!!  My boobs did the same thing... weird as hell I know but hey, my husband isn't complaining about that at least...  

Yup you're losing that fat padding under your breasts on top of your ribs - AND you're releasing estrogen in the fat. As long as we don't start lactating im ok lol

OMG!!!  Sorry I peeked!  I certainly hope I don't have this problem!
