This can not be correct! (Bra talk)

Holy crap, that tool put my cup size at a DD! Nooooo way in hell is that accurate. I'm currently wearing a C in the band size it recommended and believe me, there is room to spare in those cups.

Firstly, some of those names are awful...

Secondly, I LIKE BOOBS!!!! (and boobies)..

Actualy, if it comes down to it, I'm an 'arse man'...

But boobs/boobies is much more fun to say!!!

I finally decided I had to replace my bras when the girls continually kept slipping out the bottom. I was down 7 sizes so I guess that makes sense. Having terrible time trying to find sports bras. I'm a full D cup and XL bras are not designed for that cup size. Larger ones are too loose around the chest and the girls keep slipping out. I'm sure I give people at the gym something to talk about.

Sports bras are the bane of my existence! Kaitlynm have you tried CWX or enell?

They fit well and make bras that have shoulder straps not the Y back.

The Y back bras kill me because they creep up and hurt my neck...I only wear ones with regular bra type straps but sometimes they are super hard to find

I'm saddened that mine resemble smooshed danglehoppers and no longer anything that resembles breasts. At least I'm now a 34 and no longer a 42...still a C, just need to hike those bad boys up more.

someone said they roll theirs up like socks!

I almost have to fling them over my shoulders to shower to get them out of the way.

Wow... that says I need a 36 I, lol. No way. I was 35 in on the band and 44 in around the bust, but I have always worn a D or DD depending on my weight. The one I am wearing now fits like a dream and is a DD, I imagine they would just drip to the bottom of an H or I cupsize and leave the top full of air ; )

I also have to bend over and pour them into the bra... I see a breast lift in my future dreams.

I will have to look for those. I have the opposite problem with the straps. All the shirts today seemed to be designed for racer back bras. Fashion verses practicality will always be a problem I guess no matter what size you are.

When I started off in July 16 2015 I was a 42 dd . October 23 rd I went to a specialist boutique bra shop and came out with 36 ff . The difference in how I looked was amazing. Went back to the same shop last week and now I am a 34 ff . I was never one for being measured but these woman know their stuff and I am delighted with how my bosoms look under a t shirt or blouse.

Go and be measured, the bit of embarrassment you may feel is worth it for how you will look after

For the person complaining about buying sports bras as a D cup, try it being a G cup.

I have to get sports bras that are band and cup size. Not XL or 2x. They offer no support for running. They are okay for yoga. I have one from lane bryant and one glamouress. If you have larger breasts you need a bra that has high coverage in the front to prevent pop out. My sports bras come almost to my collar bone, with a sheer mesh to keep those girls in place.

I'm spending $60 a pop on bras, but it's worth it. My silhouette looks great, curves for days.

      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.
