I wondered myself. I definitely need to get some new ones but I was not sure where to get measured since I have never had it done before.

Here in Texas we have Dillard's. Dillard's will fit you for a bra. They are wonderful. I don't trust anyone else. They are helping keep my bras fitting as I lose and are cheering me on. I started out in a 42DD, down to a 40DD and two weeks ago was refitted with a 38D. It's so wonderful not to look sloppy in my clothes. Before I gained a lot of weight, I was a classic 34 B. I may never be that again, as I am older now, but I'd like to get close. I've been overweight for 17 years!

one of my reasons to start on this journey was my bra size-at a JJ, it is the one part of me i absolutly hate. and i am really hoping to go down to a D cup. do not know if this will be possible, but if i can lay on my back wihtout being suffocated, it will be a massive thing for me. i wonder how many bras i am going to have to buy as the weight comes off, as well as clothes.

go to a proper bra fitting store. You'll find one in the yellow book...

My obgyn was adamant that I get a proper bra fit...and I'm not very large chested. He just felt that my breasts deserve proper support or they will sag and be in pain.

However, I nursed my twins until they were 20months (after my surgery)...and my breasts are so not even nearly attractive in the least.

      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.
