Burning my Bra

I went to see my surgeon today and he told me that I don't need to wear my compression bra anymore. In fact I can get away with not wearing one at all right now. (no implants)

I have been wearing bra's since I was a young girl. Now I am like a bohemian, '60's burn the bra' type of radical woman.

I feel like making a daisy chain, wearing it around my head, popping some tie dye flowing clothes on and running barefoot through the woods.

I kind of like it :D

Burn that bra! I wish I could burn mine. I think I've worn a bra nonstop for the last 40 years. It must be great to be able to go without one.

It's a great feeling I still wear a bra but the fact I could go without is a great feeling. No implants either

I may even buy a bralett, more like a vest than a bra :)

Last week I forgot to take my bra off when I got home from work. 3 hours later I realized it. All my adult life the bra had to be ditched the moment I got home because it would be digging in and causing red marks and was so uncomfy. Now, I don't even feel it!

Still ditch it the moment I'm home. Bras suck!

      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.
