* wks after and wearing any bra still hurts



Recommended Posts

Hello - here's a doozy for a first post - every since my gastric bypass on June 17, wearing any kind of a bra causes pain at worst, and discomfort at best right above my pouch. And to give bras a break, I also feel discomfort in that area without any bra.

I feel ridiculous because the only thing I can tolerate long enough to wear to work is a sleep bra which does nothing for form or shape, only restricts bounce a bit. And by the end of the work day, even that is driving me crazy. In fact, it's the beginning of the work day right now and it is already moving from discomfort to pain.

Will this go away? Ever? Not that I'm a fanatical bra wearer but it really makes me feel very unlike a 'normal' person when I should be feeling more like a normal person each day due to the weight loss.

Thanks for any help.

I too have pain when wearing a bra. I can tolerate it for maybe an hour then I want to yank it off. I am 3 weeks out and hoping that soon it will be better. I have to go to work next week!!! Ugh...

      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.
