I think it really depends on how large-chested you are. My friends can buy them from KMart and get the support they need. I am DD and I cannot do Kmart. The cheap sports bras still have me flopping around like a banshee. I got fitted for proper ones and they're expensive, but they keep me strapped in and supported

I recommed getting a good one, but that's coming from someone who's rather large - inbetween a D & DD right now. I know there is a thread around talking about sports bras & there were a lot of choices in a variety of price ranges to look for.

Good support is what you need, and that doesn't have to come at a high price. A fitting is a great idea.

I get mine from Kmart, its a Hestia brand one and costs $20! I have gone from a 22DD to a 12D. I've gotten the same style from when I was about a 16D, I've just stuck with it because it fits and feels good on. It definitely keeps everything in place when I'm running! I definitely think getting a sizing done is a good idea if you're not sure what size you are now. Maybe try Bras n Things, Myer or David Jones, they'll usually do a sizing for you for free :huh2:

Ya know, i reckon as long as it holds those babies down you can buy one from any department store, especially if you get one of those crop top type ones without the cups.

lol to be honest they may well end up looking like ape boobs any way if you lose a lot of weight (dont mean to offend :-)

I'm also a DD...the weight is coming off, but the twins are holding their own!! LOL

I currently wear a "champion" that is made for DDs...but my favorite is "ENELL"...I first heard about them on Oprah...and now have two. They are pricey ($60.00)...but well worth the investment to me...the twins don't become "uni-boobs" and it holds them secure when I'm jumping and running...I workout, and it is PAIN-FREE!!!

If your current bra is uncomfortable or you're flopping around too much.

I can't even fill out an A cup even at over 200 lbs. So it's hard for me to find a good bra anywhere, sports or otherwise. Manufacturers assume if you are plus size you also have big breasts. So there are lots of great sports bras out there for overweight women with D cups & up.

I'm stuck with the uniboob look in a sports bra if I don't want my boobs hanging down by my belly button. :)

I have to disagree with this statement I am a DDD I have not been able to find lots of great bras. Period. Sports or otherwise. The only bra I like has stopped making DDD. I am hoping to be down to a DD soon so I can buy a new bra. But because my boos are always the first thing to get biger and the last thing to shrink I think I am stuck for a while. ugg

      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.
