Explain this to me



Recommended Posts

We have different sizings but the same principle, a 12E is the same thing as a 14D. the D cup in a size 10 is not the same as the D cup in a size 18 - the term A, B, C, D etc is really more of a measure of the proportionate difference between your rib cage measurement and your actual bust measurement, not a measure of the VOLUME of your breast, if that makes sense.

Yes, that is about the same thing that Linda explained and it does make sense now - it sure as heck didn't at the time she was telling me DD ... in my mind that seemed huge and I'm not - LOL

Dont know if any of you saw the Oprah special about "women wearing the wrong bra". Anyway, there was a store on there called "Intimacy" that specializes in bras. They reported that most women wear the wrong bra size. So, I went there thinking I wore a 40 D but turns out that is the wrong size. Anyway, I have bought some of the BEST bras from there. They sell all sizes. I would recommend you all checking out that store too!

I spent the weekend with V Angel and Bearded again and went to Lane Bryant and got fitted. I have to admit they are very comfortable bras and V Angel printed off a coupon for me for an additional 30% off so I got 4 of them. The girls do look ALOT perkier but my size didnt really change that much.

In as far as the weekend with those 2 crazy people, I have to say we had an amazing time and hopefully we will do it again soon. NOW, let us persuade them to put up some new photos, THEY BOTH LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!! I didnt even know them at first. Thanks for the awesome weekend, I miss you both already!

I will attest that the girls were MUCH perkier -- these bras are amazing. I will be buying them for as long as they carry a size I can wear (not sure how small they go on their bra sizes)

Thanks for the compliments Ruthi - you're too sweet. I had Bearded take some pics of me tonight in an outfit I wore to work today - once he downloads them off the camera I will post them ... I will also take some of him next time I can get him to put his clothes on! LOL

We had a great weekend, too, and OF COURSE we'll do it again and again!!!

We miss you too!

Okay - new pics posted - the one of me in the black dress is from Saturday night when we went out with some friends for music and dancing -- all my "club" clothes were too huge ... so I wore this dress (which is actually a long top ... Bearded and my friend Sandy went on and on about how great I looked -- and now seeing the pic, I have to say I didn't look half bad!

Everyone has been telling me to get a fitting at Vicky secrets, so I did while I was in AZ. they told me what I already knew. I am in between sizes. I am not a B or a C They could not find a bra to fit me. I need to look at that brand that has "almost" as a size. It's frustrating! My DD told me to buy a C and buy those things that look like chicken breasts and shove them in there. I am not about to use falsies!

      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.
