And so now, i went to bra shop due to my decreased back fat and i try on bra after bra and finally i found my size, 38 DDD!!!! Fits like a glove too. what the hell????? how can this be? ive always been a D cup and now, i lose weight and it goes to my chest?? Dont get me wrong, im not complaining, i mean, i was actually considering getting implants because i was afraid i would lose what little chest i did have. . . . . sooo confused!

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.

      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.

      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.
