So... Ladies post op. I am having surgery on the 15th of july(YAY!). But the one thing on my mind is support. Not the human contact kind either... although I think my husband wouldn't mind the job. I need some advice on what to do for brassieres? I don't want to have to go out and buy a new bra every few weeks. I had thought of just getting a sports bra, but I hate the uni-boob look. So any and all advice would be helpful. What you did? how fast you lost your boobage? If you even lost that much? Thanks ladies!

Laugh if you want but in the beginning when I lost a lot of weight I didn't have money for new bras so I rolled up a pair of socks and stuffed it!!! Later on I bought some on eBay real cheap

Walmart has sport bras that feel like a real bra. They also separate in the middle so you dont have a uniboob. They are super comfy too.

I just bought 2 good bras from VS right now lol after work I knew I needed a new one. My boobs were no longer fitting the bras I had. I lasted in the ones I had and super old ones and sport bras. I would rather spend money on cloths.

I'm 11 months and needed bras desperately.

I went from 50D to 36C.

Still wearing the same bras they just fit alot better now. Mine were spilling out and I just hated buying more and I got to wearing sports bras that were more like regular bras just had compression. I haven't bought anything new except scrubs. I can't wait til I can walk into VS and pick out something super cute.

It's still surreal shopping there. I didn't know how to ask for a bra fitting but if course everyone there was super sweet and helped me fit a great fit and great styles!... It's so weird though!

In a strange bra sizing quirk, I've gone from 46D to 40 DD. I guess they girls aren't shrinking as fast as the rest of me!

I have been using the bra genie. If that's what it's called. They were from an infomercial but now they sell them at Wal-Mart and walgreens or cvs. I have large knockers 42ddd. They offer just enough support with just one on and no uniboob. If I'm going to the gym I put two on for extra support and then it will work like a sports bra. Also, they are stretchy so I have not had to buy new ones yet.

Can't I just lose in the "important" areas? Like tummy, thighs, upper arms?

      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.
