This can not be correct! (Bra talk)



Recommended Posts

Lol, I am so not good with bra calculations. I eventually got fitted in Dillards one day because nothing in VS fit me correctly. Technically my band size is a 32, but then I end up with like a G cup, however if I go up to a 34, I can fit in a DDD and if I got up to a 36, I can fit in DD. Interestingly despite the 32 being the right band size, I am way more comfortable in a slightly looser, bigger cup, 36 than I was in the 32's. I feel like finding the right bra is this huge process of trial and error.

If you're looking though, Wacoal, which is a brand I had never heard of until recently has AWESOME bras. They are so comfy. Amazon has them way cheaper than department stores, but you can always try them on in the store, figure out your size, and then order online.

What you can wear varies so much on the construction of the bra. Most of my frustration this year has been bra based. It is hell

Forget it ... the girls are a lost cause here!! I once had beautiful, full, 44DDD ta-tas that I was quite proud of. Now I have nothing but smooshed, flat, pancakes that hang like sad puppies. In a 38DD now, and literally have to pick them puppies up and tuck them into the cups. A friend wanted me to be fitted professionally, but I just laughed and asked her how I was gonna hold them up to be measured properly otherwise they would be measuring my bellybutton and not my chest! :P

The hubby tells me if I don't like it I can have them fixed. Honestly, I could care less ... they may have been pretty once, but my boobs don't define me. I'm more stuck on losing this last 23lbs that doesn't seem to want to budge!

I'm SO scared of losing my boobs, and my butt. I feel like those are the sexiest things about me - albeit, the butt could stand to be about 20" smaller, according to the measuring tape!

I was always the girl with the great rack, so I put a lot of "feeling attractive" into that. It makes me quite nervous, even though the rest of me will look way better.

Yes on the wacoal bras!!!! I'm now a 32DDD and love my wacoal bras!

Lost them all and has to get them put back where they belong and get implants... Which I never would have imagined back when I was a 42G!

For sports bras I agree get the ones that are band and cup size and come up higher. I run in my moving comfort Juno and rebound racer ones right now, but I also like panache and the ultimate run bra.

This calculator doesn't seem right. I've been wearing a C cup for many years and it says I should be a DD/E. I'm sorry, but there's no way my boobs can fill that. I simply do not have the boobage.

Barely 4 weeks post-op here, I know someday I'll revert back to a B cup and it won't be perky as it was 10+ years ago. [emoji20] I self payed for my WLS, now I'm saving up again for implants in 2 years. The advantage would be that I won't need painful tissue expansion. bmi.png

      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.
