I am just about to head out to buy new bra's.

I was 44 DD before I started the 2 week liver reduction diet and 3 weeks ago I bought a new bra which is 40DD but now it's hanging off me both in size and cup size. I don't want to keep buying bra's every few weeks so I am going to look at the bra strap extenders .. .. Has anyone used these? Any other suggestions?

How many sizes did you go down until you got to goal?

I can tell my girls have shrunk but I'm only 6 weeks out so I haven't bought new bras yet. I'm trying to wait until the last possible moment!

42DD to 36D.

I'll always have big boobs no matter how much weight I lose ;)

Same here. 48DD to 38DD. I also have always had very large boobs. I think that makes a difference in how they shrink as you lose weight. I'm still a DD, they just hang to my knees now LOL

I am in the early stages of preparing for surgery and I was wondering about this. I'll be ok going down in cup size, I am afraid of the hang though. Lol. Not that they don't hang now!

Add another "D" to that before size and we could be cup twins, Kate! Lord, if I lose major inches anywhere I hope it's there. It's like having two backpacks strapped to your chest, 24/7, filled to the brim with boulders. The one (and probably only) plastic surgery I will have once I reach goal will be a breast reduction or lift.

Good luck on the shopping!

Yes I have used Extenders. The bras I liked didn't go up to the band size I needed so I got ones where the cup fit. I Used bra size 44D/DD (depended on the bra) to get up to a band size 50/52 They work fine but do tend to stretch out and your bra straps are more likely to slip out from under your clothing. I have the "luxury" of being unemployed and have just been wearing "Sports" bras from Walmart. They are more like half tank tops with elastic under the breasts, but they do a reasonable job. A 3 or 4 pack from walmart runs around $10. It is nice to have when you just don't want to put on a real bra.

Genie bras have lasted me a few band sizes and cup sizes. I'm a 44DD right now but I was a between a 38 and 40D last year. The bra is a little snug but not uncomfortable.

      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.
