Does anyone have trouble wearing their bra?! I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op and I can barely make it 2 hours before I have to take it off because it makes me feel nauseous. Hoping I'm not the only one. . .

@@Daisee68, can you provide a name or link to the place that accepts donations? I think that's a fine idea! I have some very newish bras I know I won't be able to wear for long after surgery.

I've promised to treat myself to at least one Stella McCartney bra when I hit goal. Her stuff always looks so fun. Hopefully I'll be able to wear them.

@@songsmith - Here is the one I used http://www.donateyourbra.com/index.html. I just liked their concept. I know there are some others though. Some Soma stores take them as well.

I went from a 44DD to a 34B! No more back pain! Hard to find 34B but I'm thrilled!!!

I bought my first new bra after losing 40 lbs and went down 1 band size but same cup. I'm now a 34H, mind you, I did have breast augmentation several years ago, so I know my cup size won't change a whole lot but thought it would be more different.

I must also admit, I probably should have increased my bra size when I gained weight after augmentation but being a 36H was embarrassing enough!

By the way, it was never my goal to be. In such a large cup size and once I'm at my final goal, I will be downsizing. Much to my husbands disappointment!!

      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.
