I find the BEST bras for working out (I do boxing) are those that zip up the front. I used to have DD's and got a reduction (before the band) and I still have C's and they too.....ummm.....bounce. The zip in the front bras are AWESOME! I've gotten them from Target before, but I know any large store would have them too (Macy's, JCP, Sears, etc). They are more expensive at places like REI and Sportsmart though.

Hope this was helpful - sorry no links. I just know the "type" of bra that has worked for me in the past - forgot where I actually got them.

Best of luck to you!

:mad:

I like the enell bra. They are a little pricey but well worth it in my opinion. I got mine for $50, but I've spent $20-25 on everyday bras for support. The girls don't move in the enell.

After trying countless sports bras I've learned that, as someone with a lot to handle up top, the best work out bra for me is one that has separate cups, rather than the "uni-boob" style sports bra. I bought a Freya Active Underwire about three months ago and I LOVE IT. Honestly, it is amazing--I am actually able to go running now and not even worry about bounce at all.

Now, I got mine during a bra sale at Nordstrom, so I got a good deal--otherwise I think it's kind of pricey ($60-$80 range, I think). But it WORKS. Worth the investment in the long run for sure!

I just purchased a Natori sports bra at Nordstroms. $42.00 but it holds the girls in and it doesnt give me a uniboob either. :-)

I have been playing sports ALL my life and working out...I find the best thing that holds me down...I double up on sports bras. I buy one a size smaller and then I put a bigger one on over. It holds me down very good. I have 42 D's and they don't move. OR I have a cotton bra with no underwire and I wear a sports bra over it. I played volleyball for years and it's the only thing that helped me from hurting them! And I do step class and they don't bounce. :seeya:)

I find the SHOCK ABSORBER D MAX bras are simply fantastic! I am pretty busty and these bras just hold everything in place and no strain or bounce.

I think with bras you get what you pay for, and ESPECIALLY with sports bras. Perhaps you dont need to pay ridiculous amounts but I personally wouldnt go to Target to buy one either.

We have different brands here, but Berlei and Triumph both make really good ones.

I've only ever bought separate cup ones, never tried a crop top style, they'd have to compress DARN hard to work well though. I thinks cups and underwires are the way to go.

      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.
