@@lisacaron what's a good sports bra? I'm about the same size as you. I need some good support!

You can get good ones in so many places. The key is to try them on and to make sure they are for high impact. Victoria Secret makes some good ones, Hanes, Jockey, Under Armor, Champion.

You want to be sure that they don't give you the uniboob and that each breast has it's own pocket or cup. You want to have the compression so they are not hanging about and bouncing. So snug works. In a "generic" sizing S, M, L, XL though you might think our size needs that XL it's too big. (at least for me it was) jumping up and down there's too much movement so I had to go down the size.

The best ones even though they may have that racer back for the support, they also have a bit of hook and eye closure to the band so you have the flexibility to make it snugger as you loose and also as the garment stretches. Cause as we know bra's are not like our jeans they don't shrink in the wash they tend to stretch out more.

Prices online are good, but try to get to the store and try on what works for you and then you can order online. If you have an outlet store near you those are great also. All our body types are different even if our size is the same, so you really want to get in there and try them on. I know jumping around in a dressing room in your bra is not high on the list of fun activities...but the girls are worth it :)

I love my underarmour bra and natori makes a good sports bra and I got it on the sale rack in nordstrom. Underarmour is currently having a sale on line with free shipping with orders over $49 which is basically one bra :)

      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.
