okay so before surgery I was a 38 DD and that was getting a bit small for me but now that I have lost weight ( most of which I think came from my boobs) all I have are empty bags hanging from my ribs!! I cant seem to find any stores or brands that fit right and make them look presentable and I cant afford implants. does any one have a good sugestions on where I can find something good?

Maidenform and Izod bras have been my best bra buys. I went from a 40/42 D/DD depending on the bra to a tiny 32B, and that was only because of the skin bags.

As for where I've found them, Ross, TJMaxx, and Beall's Outlet have been my go-to places to purchase bras. The demi-bra seems to be the very best option to give my boobs the lift and appearance under clothing that I prefer.

How about a masectomy bra just until you firm up a bit? Also some of the high end department stores have "fitters" who will be of a great help. --or a good sports bra...

At the 4 month mark my Daughter said to me, " Mom it is time for some new bras" So she was in charge.

We went to layne bryat and she got me these bras to try that are padded with a bump in the bottom of the inside up. At first I did not like them, but when I look down now ( with shirt on) I feel like a I have a rack again:)

Same here I put on a bra and the girls just sort of puddle at the bottom of the cups! So sad. I have been wearing sports bras they even have them with under wire and Maidenform has these bras that fit two sizes the ones I have will fit 36B to 38C.

I only wear bras from Lane Bryant- I absolutely love them.Even though my breast are shrinking I still look like I have nice round boobs with their bras. Last time I went in LB was 2 weeks ago and I was told I was at 42D from a 48I and I do need new bras badly but I'm going to wear these until I absolutely can't wear them anymore :)

I found these absolutely amazing bras from Kohl's. It's the Daisy Fuentes brand and they pump me up to look like my original size. Literally in the last 10 Lbs I've lost I've gone from an average D to what seems to be a small C now. They are still shrinking like mad even now!! Uggh I hate it... however, I LOVE THESE BRAS!! They make me look like a D or full D again. Give them a try on there, and put your shirt over it. Best. Bras. Ever.

These will just have to do until I get my augmentation done in September. :D

What size are you thinking about going to with your augmentation? I have too much boobies lol. But I definitely will need a lift out of this world lol. Even when I was in highschool someone made a comment to me about needing to wear better bras cause my boobs hung low. (I wanted to slap them lol) but yeah, I wonder will my lift come out ok w/o an implant?

I haven't had a consult yet but I'm thinking I can get away with no lift - or a very minor one. I'm going to get back up to a full D minimum - maybe DD if I like how it looks when I try on the cutlets. Full D is my original size and they never gave me back pain nor did they keep me from being able to do my runs. I'm not worried about any of that, I just want my normal size back and if not then a little bit bigger! :P

Not only that I do plan to have some Lipo done on my inner knee areas. I think that will relieve some of the flab I have going on there and give me better ease of movement on my legs and much better shape. Yayyy I can't wait!!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
