Weight Gain
So each of my boobs is approximately 450 cc’s of that squishy saline substance …
Which was roughly the necessarily fillage to bring me up to a full C-cup size, though with swelling right now … I might be a tad bigger. (Seriously, I told you I was tastefully understated in the boobage department.)
Anyways …
Being the dork that I am,
I decided to see how much weight I gained from my new additions,
So I could likewise become aware of …
How much I am going to have to lose in order to maintain my same weight.
So …
First, I converted cc’s to ounces.
The conversion number is 29.574 …
Which I then used to divide into 450 (the cc number).
This effectively gave me the silly system of measurement we use here in the U.S. of 15.216 ounces.
Editor’s Note: I admit it, though I think we do things the right way in every respect here in the United States, I will concede, our system of measurement is somewhat dorked up.
I then divided the resulting 15.216 ounces by 16 ounces (otherwise known as 1 pound and abbreviated as 1 lb.)
Another Editor’s Note: Why does 16 ounces make 1 pound? And why is pound abbreviated with the letters lb ?? Heck if I know, but I do consider it further proof that our system of measurement here is indeed bonkers. 🙂
Anyways … that calculation gave me the answer for which I was looking …
Each of my new boobs weighs approximately .951 lbs.
Meaning …
I’ve gotta lose 2 lbs just to maintain my current weight (or roughly 1.8 kilograms :)).
Heh …
No problem …
I can do that in one purge !! 😉
Stacy,
the guys on Mythbusters (Discovery Channel) did a mythbusting about busting busts! And what did they find? Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nothing happened at any elevation that would be humanely tolerable. They took the implants to over 60,000 feet without them having any kind of reaction.
Now, admittedly, these were silicone, but I think the filler doesn’t matter in this test.

So, Amy, no worries about climbing mountains and having the boobage become bombage!
(btw, Mythbusters is an absolutely FUN show to watch. The hosts crack me up, and the subject matter gives you great ammo for those bar talks to get the conversation going.)

hmmm…
maybe i should move your link from
“bloggery goodness”
to “boobie goodness”
or maybe just
“oh, my goodness!”
seriously,
i’ve read that the two greatest hazzards
are popping during high-altitude flights,
and scar tissue encapsulation
making them turn hard and funny-shaped…
Wow…you do look great….a little more nipping, a bit more tucking, and you’ll almost look good enough to hang out in my posse 🙂

Hmmm…Lookin’ better sister…lots better..
I’m getting psyched to come out there…

OK, I’m going to give you some really good joke opportunities here:
1. If you take too much spiro (being a diuretic) will the new boobage disappear?
2. If you go outside when it’s cold, will they freeze?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Hmm, while I think about it…the actual Latin for pound or weight might be “librum”. “Libra” smells like a plural form. Whatever. Oy! What am I? A Latinist or something?
Hi Aims,
surgery looks promising. I think the reason a pound is abbreviated to “lb” is because the Latin for one pound is “libra” (remember that in astrology, the symbol for libra is a set of scales).
Regardements,
