I'm losing the most inches so far around my bust. I'm on the last row on my smallest bras, so I will need new ones soon. I usually get a good bra at the lingerie store, so it fits. They have told me that every 15 pounds you should have a new fitting. This could get quite expensive. How are you keeping the girls supported as you lose weight?

Frankly, I'm not doing a very good job of it. I need to be measured and size down. If it were just band size, I'd imagine there is a way to add a row of hooks in, but cuo size is affected as well.

I know they are pricey but my twins get Victoria secret bras. I am 42 and gravity is not my friend. I know it's not much help but I gotta keep the twins happy:)

I picked up some brand new Cacique (Lane Bryant) bras off ebay for a really good price. I only purchased three, black, beige and white. They should get me through the winter until I have to purchase smaller sizes again.

I am watching for sales at Victoria's Secret. I've dropped from a 44E to a 38DD and I think that I need a 36DD at this point. I am on the last hook on the 38, so... I am not buying new bras as soon as I should but I am only about 30 pounds from goal and it's painful to think of spending that money and then spending it again. EEEEK!

I've been buying cheaper bras at Ross and other discount stores. Will go back to my pricey brands after I stop losing.

I am a 36 DD too and just got a fantastic buy at kohls. I love the vanity fair underwire bras and I got 4 for 12.99 a piece! They are normally 38.00 a piece.

I like Bali bras which I also buy at Kohls. I bought a couple the other day. I went from a 44D to a 36B. I haven't been a B cup since I was 12! Lol

Bras are so incredibly important especially if you want to accentuate your figure. They should lift, hold you in and in turn help you with posture. I took my sister out bra shopping because she was frustrated with her bras, we found the right style for her breasts (a plunge style) and she says "oh my gosh I have a waist." I still love my cacique bras from lane bryant. They go down to a 38 and have so many styles. Keep an eye out for sales. Twice a year they have buy 2 get 2 free. Great quality...hang dry.

I wore a sports bra over my regular for months until it got to the point where I just had to get new ones.

My girls are totally deflated. Even my b-cup is underfilled. Someone at my group suggested going to a shop in town to be properly fitted and address my particular problems. It's very expensive but I can buy just bra and once I know what to look for I can shop other places.

      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.
