Let's talk swimsuits....



Recommended Posts

So, I'm looking to find a swimsuit for my honeymoon in June... I'm trying to find something with a little more than a shelf bra, but I'm running into a couple of problems. Evidently if you are a 36, you can't have boobs bigger than a C cup, and if you have a DD, you must be a 40.

I haven't looked in ALOT of places yet, but I thought I'd post here while I was searching to see what people have found...

Thanks guys!

Should have clarified... the idea of ME in a swimsuit killed the appetite, not the thread orginator! :)

I found a great bathing suit which was 2 pieces. A little skirt and a tan top (not tight). I found it at Kohls. They carry up to size 24 I believe. Have fun on your honeymoon. Julie

NV girl, thanks for clarifying, lol. You're on your way to worrying about this stuff. I'm just glad I'm in a size where every suit I look at doesn't have a skirt!!

Not near where I want to be, and I still don't like the idea of wearing a swimsuit in public, but I'm going scuba diving, so it's a must :)

When I used to dive (been a couple of years :) ), I bought my suits from Land's End (www.landsend.com). Their suits (at least then) offered the most sizes (short, regular, long) and the quality was fantastic!

I've found several suits at of all places, Wal-Mart. They have all sizes (and yes I'm a DD too), and they're cute, not old lady suits. Have a great honeymoon!

Here in Australia/New Zealand we wear what we call 'boardies' shorts made out of a special light material and a tank top like thingy made out of stretchy stuff with a built in bra...that is my current swim suit...when I get out of the Water I don't have to cover myself up quickly cause it just looks like I am wearing...shorts and a singlet top...hehehe

Junonia (www.junonia.com) sells separates so you can order the tops and bottoms in different sizes.

I dive and I would recommend their aquatards over a swimsuit for wearing under a wetsuit. (Two models at http://www.junonia.com/thumb.htm?tl=1&ldid=2&sdid=16).

Also try Googling "bra size swimwear" or similar. Just got lots of hits that offer bra size bathing suits.

Once some of this weight gets off and I am in better condition than I have been for the past year, I can't wait to go down again. Thanks for the suggestions!

      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.
