Bra Size changes



Recommended Posts

I apologize if this has been asked before. I have always been very large chested even when I was thin. I cannot buy a bra in a regular store. I have to order them online and they aren't cheap. I am making due with the ones I have now because I know I will start losing weight and have to change sizes.

I don't know how much of them I am going to lose but I believe it will be a LONG time before I possibly get to a size I can buy in a regular store. I hate to spend the money on all new bras everytime I drop a couple sizes. Any suggestions on what to do so I don't spend a ton of cash on items I will probably only wear for a short time? Have anyone else had to deal with this?

Im still trying to figure this one out myself. I have lost a little over 84lbs. I started in a 42DD. Now I am in a 42D. I have not gone and gotten professionally fitted, I just went bought some and whatever fit the best is what I went with. JCPenney's does offer professional free fittings.

Before I ran out and bought some new ones, I took some of my old huge bras and some little ones from my before obese stage and wore them both at the same time. LOL I know it sounds crazy, but I would wear the big one directly on my skin to cover everything and the little one would provide the lift I would need, but it didn't have the coverage. Thankfully I now have some bras directly in the middle, that will hold, lift and cover. But that's what I did until I thought it was a blantantly obvious that I needed some undergarments.

Hi, when I started out, I was like a size 48DD. Im guessing on that number because a 46 felt tight but I absolutely refused to buy a bigger bra. Ugh! I held out as long as I could and it wasn't until my sister stuffed her fist in my bra (because of the NOTICEABLE space I had) that I realized I had to get a smaler bra. But until I could, I doubled the sides of my bra and sewed them in to get a nice tight fit and tried my best with the cups and straps as well. Now, I'm a size 42D and hopefully will be a C cup by the time I've lost all my weight. Let's hope!

I am waiting to loose more weight before buying new ones. I have some in smaller sizes I never got rid of. Some days I just wear my sports bra ( I have quite a few of them). I playing the waiting game before buying anything. I want to loose another 40-50 lbs first. Until them, I'll just keep pulling out those clothes and bras I outgrew in the last 6 years.

      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.
