I was gonna say WTH you complaining about I lost my Chi Chi's - I went from a 42DD to a 36B and I'm mad about it! LOL

I can say that the regular stores especially Victoria Secrets run small because there I wear a 36C if not D depending on the cut of the bra!

Are you sure you were wearing the correct bra/cup size before?

I am absolutely sure I was a D, and that had a little room inside of it. But now they look like they did when I was lactating. I'm floored!!

Bra sizes are determined by the size of your back and bust. Sounds like the back got smaller and the busts remained therefore giving you the larger cup size. You look great!

The same happened to me I was a 44DDD before surgery I've lost 90lbs now I'm a 38H. I asked and it's because our back size is going down and we aren't loosing any weight in our busy they stuck out more so a bigger cup is needed. I went bra shopping yesterday and tried on smaller cup sizes in a 38 and none of them for. Strange theory but no your not alone lol

I think the cup size is actually the difference in the measurement around the smaller band and the measurement around the fullest part so a 44D would not look the same as a 34D. There are bra calculators out there and you do your measurements and I also noticed if you measure like 32 you are a 34 that seemed odd to me.

      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.
