If not for work, and having to leave the house looking sane...I would probably NEVER wear a bra again! When sitting, it feels as though this underwire is pressing on my diaphragm....and it ain't fun!

Hi! Try the Ahhh bras. They give pretty good support, even for larger breasts and are so comfortable.

There are sports bras that look more like bras with no under wire. They don't have the cross strap. I know what you mean about the bra, it sits right there and sometimes it hits one of my incisions.

The one laparascope, the one just below the bra line in the middle of my diaphragm, had to be moved during surgery and moved up and then they had to open it so it looks like I have a = and + on top of each other and it's a bit bigger because of a complication and it still has the clear dissolvable stitches sticking out so it was uncomfy.

I am sure it will feel better soon, best of luck and congrats on your loss!

Best wishes and I hope

I'm sorry

Thanks, Mina. I do have a few sports bras...they don't don't always fit my clothing choices. I know this phase will pass, and I can't wait!

I solved this problem by working from home.......I don't wear shoes either. In all seriousness, one of the things that I am looking forward to post op....wearing bras that don't look like a kevlar vest. Husband seems worried that his fun bags might disappear...but we all must sacrifice for good health.

      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.
