So I went bra shopping and to my utter surprise I am a size A cup. Yes training bra material. The only good thing about this is there's always a sale on that size. I know because I have daughter's who are that size. They are so bad off that if I lay down they disappear.

Another thing that I have noticed and would like to know if anyone else has experienced this. I often rub on my legs and i feel a lot of lumps throughout my legs they aren't visible but I can feel them. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, I can relate. I am only 4 weeks post op and my boobs were the first to go!

Other than that, I find it hard to stand up. My knees feel weak, don't know why...

I feel like my center of gravity has changed.

anybody with weak knees??

Sadly I went from a 42DD to a 38C currently. Luckily they are still kind of perky! Thank goodness. I will gladly go down to a b if I'm healthy.

I currently wear a 44 G. Thirteen years ago when I got married, I wore a 38 DD. I was in a DD from about 160 lbs. I hope that I don't get any smaller up there than that, but I just don't know. It seems like since I have stopped having kids and nursing ( I was pregnant or nursing for most of 8 years) that I have already lost a lot of mass. They are just not full like they used to be. I guess I'll go from a 44G to a 36long :0/

May I ask what your starting bra size was?

Starting out I was a 44C, I will probably bottom out as a B, I hope not an A.

I actually was an A when I first got married. After kids I was a B, then a C when I got heavier.

Never super big to begin with.

Results yet to be seen. But I really don't care that much, as long as I get this weight off.

In 4 weeks I have lost probably 25-30 lbs. maybe more. I don't have a good scale and don't like to weight myself. So I will be waiting til my next drs. appt on 12/22. I am really curious because my clothes are getting baggy!!!! yeah.!!

Lovin' the sleeve so far!

Mine are gone too and yes totally disappear when I lay down. It drives me nuts! So far the best bra I have found are the Ambrielle push up bras from JC Penny.

No idea on the leg thing though.

yep I'm an A too. I hate it cause the bras I find have no material on the sides and aren't comfortable. They are made for teenagers.

I finally found something like a sports bra with padding that seems to be more comfortable.

Mine are shrinking as well. They look are sad too! I was a full 38D and now a comfortable 36C.

I think I'm going to end up in that 36long size too! LOL I was a solid 44D before and I've resorted to some good sports bras for now rather than buying "good" bras at each size as I go down. I have been working my arm, shoulder and back muscles to try to keep the support the girls need and hopefully end up with firmer muscles there.

Kimmmmm said something about feeling weak in the knees. My nurse friend (who lost about 80 pounds a few years back through diet and exercise) says that the week kneed feeling is because we are losing weight so quickly that it takes our brain a while to adjust our center of balance. I have bruised my shoulders because I will misjudge the area I need to go around a corner and run into the wall. I definitely won't be wearing heels for awhile! :)

      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.
