I am a bigger chested women and I am a little over a week PO. I am having a hard time wearing a bra because of the pressure. Has anyone else had this feeling?

I didn’t wear a bra for 3 weeks after surgery. Even going out to walk or errands. So yes!

Yes! I worn one today for a few hours and had to take it off as soon as I got home. It was pinching me even though I purposely wore my bigger bra!

I didn't wear one at all the first week. I was back at work the second week, so I wore tank tops under very "busy" shirts to try and disguise the girls. I could wear a loose bra after the second week. My problem wasn't the surgery, per se, but that I had 2 incisions that fell right where the bra band sits.

I have an incision right where my bra band sits. Just wearing a tank and sweatshirts. At least the cold weather helps me get away with hiding my lack of bra.

Same here, I'm glad I'm not crazy! 4 days post of - I wear a bra with the straps unbuckled. I feel like it gives me a tiny bit of support/nipple coverage.

      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.
