Don’t know what bra size you are but have you looked at the seamless crop top types? I wear the Bonds (Hanes) one. They’re stretchy all over so plenty of give with no real cup just shaping and gathers & comfortable. Not the best in terms of keeping the girls high & pert but fine for around the house. The sizing is generally based on your band size not cup size.

This is an Australia shop but it shows what they look like. I’m a 10E so I while I should buy a S I buy an M to cater for my E cup boobs. Lol!

I don't know what sizing you're looking for (or whereabouts you live), but if you have a local Walmart -- check out their George brand. I particularly like their bralettes (range in sizes from S-XXL). They're soft, minimal padding for a bit of shaping, no wires. Not adjustable, but for $12 CAD each I bought my current size and one size down for the next stage.

They were comfortable enough to wear even when I was technically a bit too large for them still, but as I've been dropping they've been doing the job well. They've got some plain ones, but also some lacy racerbacks, etc.

In terms of adjustable bras, I've had absolutely no luck since I started shedding pounds -- and I'm not willing to spend a lot of money on a bra that might not fit me in 2 months.

Not adjustable, but I buy my bras direct from the Bali website after trying them on at a department store. They cost $36 at the store and only $18 online, often with free shipping if you buy two. I bought one in white and one in beige, and so far in 6 months, I've only changed bra sizes once, so that's been lucky. I went with the wire-free as those are more forgiving with size changes. I'm wearing 40DD and find it's worth the little bit extra money to get good quality, even if they won't fit in a few months. Since I only have two, they get plenty of wear!

They make bra extenders. If you buy a size or two smaller in the band than you need and add an extender it should fit you for a while longer assuming you don’t drop a cup size. When I had the sleeve I dropped in band size a few times but in cup size only once. Well technically I went up a cup everytime I went down in band because that’s how it works but once I didn’t go up in the cup.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
