I have a rather short torso & I am finding it uncomfortable to wear a bra post op due to the bottom of the bra being against the edge of the area where I'm still swollen by my port. Underwires are out & I know a lot of people like those genie bras but I found them to be even worse. Has any one else had this problem?

Were they the same size as pre-op?

I, also, wore a sports bra after surgery. It, usually, gets better. Karen

I am 8 weeks out and I started wearing my regular bra. I also used a front opening sports bra.

Wow, 8 wks?! I lost 27 lbs pre-op & was already my the last hooks. I took the measurments & saw I'd should be shopping for a different size, I wonder if that will be even different 8 wks from now? And here is something I have wondered for yrs.....why do they always put the bigger bras on the bottom of the racks, don't they realize it is harder for us to get down there? This was even before I was overweight...I swear I woke up at age 11 w/these things...poor girls aren't always what they are cracked up to be :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the replies, I did find some comfy ones by Danskin today. I used to have great luck at Fashion Bug, now that they are out of buisness I will miss them when I seriously need to stock up.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
