Hi Ladies,

I have lost over 120 pounds and up till a month ago I did not buy new bras. I know... lazy, scared who knows...

So last month went to Nordstrom, was fitted and have new bras. Let me tell you - my back feels better.

So advice - do not be like me.... go get new bras for each 25-30 pounds lost....

I lost 75 pounds before I bought new bras, just got them this weekend:) I told myself I only have about 25 pounds till goal so I should be able to still wear them as it is really just toning and some belly fat I still need to lose.

I've gotten really nice ones from the thrift shop... no need to wait so long or spend that much.

What triggered me was when I went clothes shopping and for grins tried on a cute bra. I could NOT believe how much better I looked in the clothes with a well fitting bra!

I have went from a 48 DD to a 36 C so far. I had to buy bras early on because I had a baby 6 weeks before surgery. Love buying cute bras.

I definitely need new ones. My girls fall out every time I bend forward, well unless I'm wearing a sports bra over it. I hate the thought of spending money on bras!

I guess it's that time for me. I've lost 79 pounds and I look like a homeless person. I saw myself in the mirror at the office today, and turned sideways going, 'where'd they go?!?' Lol

I'm at 40C down from a 46DD. I had no choice, my bra cups were saggy and sad looking under my clothes. First I wore a few bras that had gotten too small. Now I just buy 2 -3 and wash them out at night. I used to love having a bra wardrobe, but it doesn't make sense while I am not getting that much wear out of them.

And here's a vanity tip. When you girls are sitting where they should be it makes your torso look leaner and longer.

I think it's because it's so hard to buy nice bras in large sizes, so my mentality is that it's still going to be too hard.

Thanks for the tip!

      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.
