Questions for big breast women



Recommended Posts

So im doing research on what to bring for upcoming surgery on 1/23 and the common thing everyone says is sports bra. Im pretty heavy on top and it's hard to find a good normal bra let alone a sports one. Please let me know if its necessary and if so where to buy one for dd and up

Before surgery I was a DD too. I didn't go out and buy a sports bra and I was fine. You're right, it's hard enough to find a DD in a regular bra.

I think you should be fine without the sports bra.

I discovered front clasp sleep bras after I had my twin babies last year and they were what I brought to the hospital and have lived in ever since. I'm only five days out of surgery and they have been very comfortable. they come in a range of sizes and colors and they are soft, with no wire. I adore them. http://m.leadinglady.com/cotton-front-closure-leisure-bra.html

Before surgery 44H. Wore my usual bra to the hospital. Wore it home. Didn't wear a bra while I was in the hospital. I was fine. (Now a 40DD).

Not quite a month out....started as a 48G and now a 40G. I went braless after the surgery n the hospital so no reason for a sports bra til you get cleared for surgery. I finally bought a new bra this week.....a new bra along with a pair of jeans....lol. Down 35 pounds! And so much more to go

They had me strip completely and put on a gown for surgery, so this was irrelevant until afterwards.

However, I didn't feel the need for a sports bra at any point, in the hospital or otherwise. I wore my regular bras.

Save your money for when you're down 30-40 lbs. I've had to buy bras twice in 7 months ;)

I went bra less. But I was a 40 j cup and bought my bras at Lane Bryant. Love love love it there.

I wore a bandeau bra from Walmart. It's 3 for $10, so they're practically disposable. I was a 44 DD at surgery, and they were super comfy in the hospital. I wouldn't wear them out, though...they aren't the most flattering.

I wore what was more of a sleep bra from kohls it is made like a sports bra but not tight and was much more comfortable. I'm a DD and bought an XL and it fit fine.

      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.
