going down clothing/bra sizes question to losers



Recommended Posts

Hi ladies, I have a question... I'm doing my surgery next week and I need to order some bras for the future. I've already lost 66 pounds and my bras are so loose already. So my question is, what have you experienced with losing cup sizes??? I know this is a personal question, but I cant even begin to guess, and it will take about 2 months for my stuff to arrive here (Korea). I'm currently wearing a 44DD.. while the cup size hasn't changed, it's just too loose around my chest. Thanks for any and all advice in advance!!!! biggrin.gif

I was a 44DD or 44DDD before surgery depending on the bra. Now I'm a 38DD. My cup size has stayed the same but let me tell you they have deflated. They kinda puddle in the bra so at the top of the cup I have room for OHhhh say my phone or ipod? I wouldn't buy any bras before you are actually that size. Some 38DDs that I try on now just don't hold my bewbs right and they spill out the middle or give me underarm bewbs.

My cup size remained the same, I went down a size. I would not suggest ordering too many as things change so rapidly. Mine, like DJ said deflated also :(

I was a 42 DD when I started out -- and when I was a 38 DD, I ordered bras. I couldn't let them swim around my waist anymore :lol: -- Well, now I'm a 36 D and I had to order again because I'm again swimming. ugh. My advise is to buy inexpensive bras that you don't care if you have to buy again in a couple of month. Kohl's, Target, Walmart, Sears -- those kind of stores usually have inexpensive bras that can last a month or two until you get to the next size.

And the next issue is when you should order given that you have to wait -- I waited for 4 sizes before ordering -- big mistake -- I'm not doing it this time. When I ordered last time, my bras were a little snug, but now I'm puddling in them again, so before I get to the point where they're hanging around my waist, I ordered again. Hopefully (blink.gif) they won't get too small! sigh.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
