Bras and Panties......



Recommended Posts

One thing I have noticed is that my bras and panties are the articles of clothes that really don't fit well anymore.

And I also realized that the "girls" have lost their fair share of weight and are now quite deflated.

So, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to get an "utlimate push up" bra.

Talk about bizarre! I feel as though I have two solid pillows on my chest. LOL. I feel like my chest enters the room about 5 seconds before the rest of me LOL LOL :rolleyes2:

Hahah! It might be strange but it's good! Better than having to drag them behind you! :)

ROFL...yeah what is it with the girls losing weight more rapidly than, say, the stomach! It's right up there on the 'unfair' chart with my oldest son having the most gorgeous eyes and eyelashes and my middle son having the most gorgeous luxurious cascade of hair (until he had it all buzzed off to join the Army).

Last year after several months postop, I was walking across the room at my in-laws and my underwear literally slipped off my hips. Thank God I was wearing slacks...which was the only reason they weren't down around my ankles!

That's great! Glad you are enjoying it! I can't wait to be in a 38 to buy one of those! I'm now in a 44C from a 48DD so i'm getting there.

ROFL! Those padded bras are something to get used to, but at least they hold them up!

I started out small on top to begin with, and I'm glad they haven't gone yet. they've shrunk a little, but mostly the fat on the sides of the bra area. I'm hoping for them to stay the same (wishful thinking) or to wait until the rest of me is smaller!

Lucky you - that doesnt work for me. My breast tissue is so soft and floppy that if you push em up and together with a push up bra, they just kind of spill flabbily out the top and it looks hideous.

I cant buy a lot of sexy bras despite now having my dream size - a c cup (never ever wanted huge boobs). I usually buy tshirt full coverage bras and you can get these great ones here that have extra padding in the TOP, which fills out that empty cup thing nicely.

But on the bright side, I finally CAN wear teeny tiny string thongs that dont disappear into the folds of my skin!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
