I have really been trying not to buy any clothes for a while but my bras are huge and they often come undone. Could you all suggest what bras you like. I do not wear underwire. I really appreciate some suggestions. Thanks.

I bought cheap bras while I was losing because I knew I wouldn't be at that size in the end...so i went to target and found a couple I liked for the interim. I couldn't tell you what names they were....sorry

I don't buy these on this website, but here are the ones I really like, no wire, support, and really comfortable. I finally broke down and bought some last night, had the same problem as you: http://www.herroom.com/vanity-fair-71380-beautiful-benefits-back-smoothing-full-figure-bra.shtml

As much as it makes me feel like an old lady I have to say 18 hour by Playtex. The reason why makes me feel old is because that's the brand my mother has worn for so long as I can remember. But the reality is it's a great brand especially if you're a D or DD. Buy 1 in the store where you can try it on and get the size on the largest hook. That way you can tighten it up as you lose weight. You can buy Playtex 18 hour from their website at a significant savings from the store price.

The good news is you might find underwire bras more comfortable as you lose weight. I never wore them much before and now even my sports bras have them. And.it's a good thing, as they provide a little better support which some of us need moving out of the double letter.cup sizes!

A specialist once told me we should try to wear sports bras as much as possible and just keep the fancy ones fir going out. Much better for stopping the droop :)

Hi everyone I was wondering.. I am a 44ddd and underwire is the only thing that supports me. Now my question is this they normally put the port near the boob right. So I'm worried my bra is going to b in the way or either irritate the port site. Any of you have some insight?

My port was a good ways below the bra line. You should have no trouble.

I buy bras from Lane Bryant. I do prefer underwire but they have some that aren't. They are pricey but worth it in my opinion! I try to buy when they're having a buy-2-get-2-free sale. Part of the reason I like them is that their underwires stay put. I've never had one poke through the fabric like I used to have happen with cheaper bras. Having my boobs in the right spot in important to me lol. I think I spent a total of $80 for 4 bras last time I bought them, and they have lasted a year. It's time to buy some more but I think I'm close to dropping a size so I'm holding out for the moment.

      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.
