Look into the LeMystere Trista bra. I get them from Dillards. They are not budget friendly, but they are worth every penny. I think they are about $70 each. I have a couple that I've had for over 3 years, and they are holding up well. Since I've lost some weight, they are too big in the cup, but I'm wearing them anyway until I can go down 2 sizes. You'll have to try on several since they are sized funny - no DD cup, it's an E instead.

I LOVE the trista bra! I have one and wear it all the time because it has such AWESOME support for by baggy babies! It's to big now :w00t: I need a smaller cup :lol: :lol:

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I finally decided that if Oprah recommends something, I should at least TRY it! That's how I wound up with the Trista for daily wear and the Enell sports bra. Neither is particularly pretty, but they certainly get the job done!

I don't think so, but if you get the correct size, it will fit so well that you'll never notice the wires - at least I don't.

It's one of those things that you have to try one, then get used to having that much support. Hefts the boobies right back up where they are supposed to be!!!

Thaks for the info, I had my first underwire 2 months ago and it made my sie boods hurt all the way in to my chest wall. And it kept creeping up so my lower boobies were exposed!!!!!

Mimi, the bad underwire experience was due to a poorly fitting bra. With the Trista, I humiliated myself by asking for assistance from the bra people that work in Dillards. If I'm spending that much on a bra, it's going to fit perfectly, and it did. I couldn't pull this bra up without unhooking it if I tried. The side boobies are firmly encapsulated in the cup - right where they ought to be.

Ask for help if you try them on to make sure it fits perfectly! It was embarrassing to admit I was that big, but it's better than never having a bra fit right because I was too stubborn to try on an F cup! (F cup in this bra is equal to a DDD in others)

Thank you so much for your guidance. I am having a breast lift in 3 weeks and will go to Dillards when I am healed and get fitted. My neice was picking on me over T'giving because of the girls being so low and pointing south.....with a comfortable bra on!!!!

Ahh, trista bra, Dillards. Got it. Didnt think I would be asking Santa for a bra, but whats gotta be done, has gotta be done. Going shopping tommorrow anyways, will give it a look see. Thanks for the tips.

By the way, if you know how to sew there are directions online how to take in a too big bra. Or patterns to sew your own, no kidding seen them at Hancock Fabric.

      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.
