Boobs and bras. :-)



Recommended Posts

No Bralette is supporting us with DDs plus.

I am a F/G depending on the bra and I do have some bralettes but they don't hold me tight enough to provide comfort around the house or anywhere else. I do have some bralettes, but I layer them over bras when I wear tanks and they help cover loose skin under my arms.

Yandy lingerie is cheap, you can buy it while you are losing and if you only wear it once, who cares. They have babydolls for $13 a lot of times. Look for the sales.

I am about to have to throw out all of my regular bras, as I've lost enough that they're gapping and not fitting well. I'm moving to Genie-style bras for most of the time, and will probably get one new underwire bra each time I have to re-size. I have been very impressed with the new Jockey fit system. I got it for my teenage daughter, and she said it's the most comfortable bra she's ever worn. The sizing pack ships with a tape measure to determine the band size, and then a set of silicone cups to see what cup size fits best. It doesn't follow the normal sizing because it takes into account how the volume is distributed. You have to buy the sizing pack, but they send a coupon for that amount off of your first bra order.

I am a store manager at Victoria's Secret and can offer tons of options depending on where you are in the process. If you're not quite at a 38 band yet, I recommend Lane Bryant or Soma. But once you hit 38 and below, check us out! We have a lot of different options, including lightweight sports bras that are inexpensive and great for hanging around. Let me know if you want more info and I can give you specific suggestions!

I played a supply of "genie" bras. I went to the site to buy shape ware for mutt but tons of stuff was on sale. They don't have hooks but I got the ones with zippers. The cups are soft but the bra doesn't give me that "uniboob" look you get with some sports bras. The br also have removable "modesty" pads so your nipples don't show.

I can't say enough about the Genie compression leggings. They push and squeeze in e right places but don't flatten out my butt at all.

      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.
