GREAT Bra for post-op, ladies!



Recommended Posts

Thanks so much for this link! Right now I wear a 42 D in Bali bras I wear from Kohls. I can get them for around $20 a bra when they are on sale half price. I'm so sick of the underwire stabbing me under my boobs and the thick sholder straps hanging out the necks of my shirts. Now sure why this is happening because I was measured at layne bryant as a 42 D.

Thanks for posting this website. I have a hard time finding bras that are comfortable for me and in my size, so this is great!

Hi all,

I had my surgery on Tuesday, and I have found the best bra to wear is the stretched out saggy one that doesn't fit very well to begin with (ie. the elastic has stretched out and is a bit big). I find that those bras don't sit snugly on the breastbone, and so they don't hurt my incisions.

You must have been reading my mind. I went looking for something today and couldn't find anything other than an over the head sports bra. I just ordered two - thanks again!!

Dunna,

I hope you like them! I even sleep in mine. If not, that place is really good about returns. Just gives you some support without the pain of a real bra. I wore one home from the hospital. Good luck with your surgery!

I was too swollen to wear my regular bra for about a week. The bra that I referenced was wonderful! I'm a 42DD and this gave me a little support with complete comfort. I like it because it hooks in the front, so easy on and off. You're not going to get full support, but it's better than braless!

      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.
