Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot



Recommended Posts

I have been measured several times, at several different stores. I have even been measured in several states! I am a 38 B right now.

I swear men make and design bras and they don't think of comfort when they do this. I have one old one that is made out of a very comfortable material. I can't find it anymore.

It's by Warner's and it's called "friday's bra"

I hope I don't lose anymore weight in my boobs. They are deflated enough.

I went to Vicky Secrets and got measired, and sur enough the wrong size for me. I was wearing a 44D... measured a 38C fits great. I bought the full coverage style, best money I have spent..

Now I found Bali's bra, is is softer and moves better than the Vicky Secret bra. same basic style, but feels more a part of me than something on me!! if you get what I mean!!! :smile:

Hi, Sherry. I'm due to get my band on May 21st too! I'm 58 so I'm nearly 60. From what I have read the medications do come in liquid form.

Welcome,

Susan

Hey Denise.....happy to hear that your revision is over and everything went well. As Janet said, please stay in contact with us on this thread. Will be interesting to hear of your journey.

Speaking of bras.....just have to recommend a brand that is an absolute dream. Hardly know you have it on it you buy the right fit. Had no clue it is the brand that Oprah brags about wearing. Came accross it at the recommendation of a little old lady shop owner. It's called LeMysterey Rouge. I ended up as a 38D. I did try a C cup but just didn't work for me.

Hi to all the newbies and welcome!

Welcome, Sherry!

There is a thread for 60+, and you're certainly welcome to hang out here, too, as I do!

You can get a lot of meds in liquid form. What in particular are you wondering about? I find I am able to swallow most tablets and capsules as long as they aren't too big. Immediately following surgery you will probably want to have some liquid Tylenol onhand. I take a few Vitamins, and I use Centrum Silver chewables, Calcium chews, liquid B-Complex (sub-lingual). My Rx are all small enough to swallow. And within a year of my surgery date, one cholesterol pill was discontinued and one of my two BP Rx half strength, making a much smaller tablet to swallow. So if you are on prescription meds, you may find your doctor eliminating some as your weight goes down.

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Thanks for trying to find it for me. I looked at all the pictures at those sites and none of them looked like the

one that I have. It's hard to tell from a picture though.

The sides are made out of this really light weight material

that is really comfortable.

It seems like Warner's must have come out with a new

"Friday Bra"

As far as revision goes, I am doing great. I am going back to work tomorrow. I feel fine. I am a little bit hungry some of the time. I am not supposed to feel hunger, but being on

Clear liquids for 10 days is going to be harder than I thought.

My stomach just aches sometimes because it just feels so

empty.

I just called the doctor's office to ask if I could move to

Protein shakes.

She was going to call the dr. and call me back but it was late in the day and didn't call. I am going to call again in the morning.

I'm glad you're going together. It would have been better if I had someone to talk to. WasA's friend came to see me and that was nice. Most people there were getting bands removed and not getting the sleeve. There were a couple getting bands that I didn't really want to talk to because I don't have anything good to say about the band.

      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.
