Ive lost 58 pounds and im just now really noticing the big gaps in my straps and cups. I believe I need to get measured. How often will this happen?

I am at 45 pounds loss, I hate that it we loose the boobs first. I doubt if there is any way to know how often we have to down size our bras. Personally, I hate the extra skin right there more than buyin a new bra.

I was so excited when my breasts started to shrink! I suffered big breasts since my early teens and I love being able to buy smaller bras. I've gone from a 24DD (Australia) to wearing a size 12 tee-shirt style bra for everyday wear (sports bra for workouts.)

If I could recommend any bra it would be the Genie Bra (one of those As Seen on TV products) but they really are AWESOME! You buy them based on your shirt size so no having to get -fit- for one. They fit beautifully, support awesome and feel great (no underwire issue). I have always had large breasts (even had a reduction surgey that took off 7 pounds) and this bra is the most comfy bra Ive ever worn. :)

I've lost 87 pounds and while the size of my bra circumferance has gone down the cup size remains the same. I think its a bummer. I really wanted smaller breasts to reduce back neck shoulder pain. But I may need a surgical reduction.

I honestly didn't know prior to my weight loss that I'd lose boob. I've always had big boobs (44-46DD) at my largest weight. Im excited to see what bra size I am now just because I'm curious. I do know I have 1&1/2-2 inches of gap in my straps:(

I've lost over 85 pounds and I've had to go through three bra sizes starting at 46DD down to now 38DD but now my cup size is changing to a possible D. Happy about it but wish I had a breast lift.

So I may have dropped to a D cup?! Oh that's exciting news! I hope I've dropped that much. Now I can't wait to be fitted:)

Ok I post this else where once Di sorry if repeat.

My friend works at Victoria Secerts. When I started I was 42DDD and couldn't shop there. Now I' in a 38DD, but it's loose too. She had me come in and measure every few weeks after I lost my first fifty. Then told to wait til the next week for there semi annual sale. I hot 5 bras at 1/2 off I was crazy cause my three kids were with me and was only gonna but two but, shopping with kids is not the best- so I grab the five and left. I called my friend and tod her I was panicked since I just spent $125 dollars on bras that would most likely be too big in a few months. SHE TOLD ME AN AMAZING THING: Victoria Secerts will exchange your bras for the new size if you gain or lose weight and need need size. just bring back your bras and your recipt- get fitted for new ones. ( I put my receipt in my dresser with bras so I have it- she said they would probably do without receipt - but easier with it). So make your girls happy and buy a new bra. They are very good at fitting and picking bra that has right coverage. I wanted one with more side coverage for my loose skin under arms. Just ask. They were very helpful. It was also fun to go in every few weeks and see the change. Good luck.

I've lost 35 lbs and have to wear a smaller bra that I've had but didn't fit me, now it's my favorite. I also recently bought new under roos a size smaller because I noticed mine were so uncomfortable! I love having to wear anything a size smaller! I'd rather keep some boobs but I'm happy about wearing a smaller size anyway!

      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.
