strange pain, ladies only



Recommended Posts

hey everybody, well ladies =)

yesterday i had a really odd pain in the middle of my chest, it was so uncomfortable it was hard to stand up straight. I had not eaten a thing since the night b4 so i know it was not anything stuck.

i felt it hard to breathe and it was painful. it was almost throbbing and was sharp

I decided to unhook my bra ( i have big boobs so i wear a parachute lol) and after about 2 mins it was gone.

I thought how weird that it? i wonder if my over the boulder shoulder holder was to tight on my band? or is the 2 were not even connected

i ate dinner fine last night,

i do seem a litte sore in that area today with a different bra on. its like when i sit too long,

anybody else have anything like this????

Melissa,

In another forum, there was a thread about not being able to eat wearing a bra. I don't remember that the posters reached a conclusion about why this would happen.

I have big girls too, and I've occasionally had a problem. I haven't had an intense pain like you described, but it sometimes makes it difficult to breathe for a few minutes. Certain types of underwires cause the weight of my boobs push the bottom of the bra so it rests on something...not sure what...but it's uncomfortable. Usually, I just tighten the straps so the girls are jacked up a little bit, or try to situp straighter.

Good luck!

My bra hurt me after surgery. I could only where a sports bra if anything. After about two weeks, i could wear a wire for short periods of time and now can wear it all day, no problem. I think it just had to heal and the pressure bothered it

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
