going down clothing/bra sizes question to losers



Recommended Posts

Hi ladies, I have a question... I'm doing my surgery next week and I need to order some bras for the future. I've already lost 66 pounds and my bras are so loose already. So my question is, what have you experienced with losing cup sizes??? I know this is a personal question, but I cant even begin to guess, and it will take about 2 months for my stuff to arrive here (Korea). I'm currently wearing a 44DD.. while the cup size hasn't changed, it's just too loose around my chest. Thanks for any and all advice in advance!!!! biggrin.gif

I was a 44DD or 44DDD before surgery depending on the bra. Now I'm a 38DD. My cup size has stayed the same but let me tell you they have deflated. They kinda puddle in the bra so at the top of the cup I have room for OHhhh say my phone or ipod? I wouldn't buy any bras before you are actually that size. Some 38DDs that I try on now just don't hold my bewbs right and they spill out the middle or give me underarm bewbs.

My cup size remained the same, I went down a size. I would not suggest ordering too many as things change so rapidly. Mine, like DJ said deflated also :(

I was a 42 DD when I started out -- and when I was a 38 DD, I ordered bras. I couldn't let them swim around my waist anymore :lol: -- Well, now I'm a 36 D and I had to order again because I'm again swimming. ugh. My advise is to buy inexpensive bras that you don't care if you have to buy again in a couple of month. Kohl's, Target, Walmart, Sears -- those kind of stores usually have inexpensive bras that can last a month or two until you get to the next size.

And the next issue is when you should order given that you have to wait -- I waited for 4 sizes before ordering -- big mistake -- I'm not doing it this time. When I ordered last time, my bras were a little snug, but now I'm puddling in them again, so before I get to the point where they're hanging around my waist, I ordered again. Hopefully (blink.gif) they won't get too small! sigh.

      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.
