Struggling with being termed

I am almost 1 year out, and am really glad to have my RNY. I truly believe that I would be dead in about 5 years if I hadn't. I have lost 156lbs, from 320, and have about 15 to go to "goal" My struggle is that people people call me skinny, slim, etc. (which at 164lbs we all know I am not!!!). I know that that seems like a good thing, but it bothers me greatly. I do not want to be "Skinny". I want to be nicely rounded and "womanly". I think that, added to this, is the fact that my "girls" are barely there. I don't know the true bra size I started out with, but I am now a 36D. The problem is that that is all skin!!! I had to sew an elastic band to the bottom of my bathingsuit cups to keep them from slipping down. Yes, I knew that I could loose my breasts going in to the surgery, but I am really struggling now that it is happening. I feel like I am in morning for my old, (way too) rounded shape. Any advice on changing my outlook? Anyone else feel the same? Thanks for responding.
