Question for the ladies...



Recommended Posts

Is anyone having problems wearing a bra? One of my incisions falls right under my bra line. I tried wearing a jock bra today and it felt so tight and uncomfortable, I had to take it off. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I don't think I can fake it and get away without wearing a bra.:unsure: I don't know what else to do! I'll take any suggestions!:ohmy:

I have the same problem too. It falls right where the middle of my bra rests. Today was my first day back to work and I had surgery on 4/21, so I think I had enough time to heal to where it didnt really bother me. I was very aware of it though.

Maybe try and cover it with some thick gauze?

I have an incision in the same place. It didn't really bother me too bad though. I did go out and buy a couple front closure bra's I dont know if thats why it didn't hurt or not. My surgery was on the 22nd and that incision is now healed over. Hopefully it won't be but a few days. Maybe if you get a front closure, you can not "close" the bottom hook so it wouldn't rub?????

I had the same problem and I just kept pushing the front middle of my bra (where the incision was) down all day so it wouldn't be resting right on the incision. That worked for me...

I happened to have one bra that didn't hit that incision spot. It was a front closer.

      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.
