Hey ladies! I'm post op (10/11) and down 22 lbs. I've started noticing my bras no longer fit, which is great in my book because I dreadddddd my boobs. How long before you went bra shopping?

When the bra no longer served its purpose, I went and bought a new one, usually just one or two. My issue is I am getting smaller around but my cup size is staying the same so bras are getting are to find lol!

Girl I work with had her sleeve done 10 months ago...said she bought a couple of sports bras (elastic) to hold her over until the boob shrinkage slowed ;)

Well you are a lucky one because these babies haven't shrunk a single cup size and I had surgery on 9/24! 22lbs is awsome if I were you I would Celebrate by getting myself a new bra!

I wear sports bra mostly for that reason.

I used to have frontal dd cups and side c cups. I used to feel like I had four boobs. I am happier about the weight loss in my chest more than any other thing thing. I don't feel like I am suffocating any longer!

the sports bra is a great idea. my bras usually cost 40-50 a piece and i'd hate to keep spending ! as far as cup size its probably the same but the rest isnt !

Check out the genie bra. THey do a little more then a sports bra, hold up really well in the wash and you can get 2 for $20 at Walmart and many other places. VERY COMFORTABLE!! But my lame boobs still sag. NOthing helps these streetlights.

At least the lights are on! Lol! I am 8 weeks out and went from a 48 DDD to 42 DD. I suffered with that huge bra for a bit because they are so expensive but I absolutely had to go! If you have a fashion bug near you they are going out of business and I got my bras 60% off. You could check online if you don't have one near you.

I haven't gone, but I am holding out. I want to go to Victoria's Secret. I can't wear one of the bras I have at all bc it is huge & goes up way too high on my chest. Looks funny.

LOL! Streetlights! I will have to check out the genie bra. Never heard of them, but I am sure I will need something for when I start dropping sizes myself. YEARS ago I was a 38C...now up to 44DD. I would LOVE to get back to a more reasonable size.

I am 6 weeks post op. I just had to go buy a bra. I was in a 44 C now in a 40 B. I only have about 75 more pounds to loose. I have already lost 37 between before and since surgery. It is really sad when I have a 14 year old granddaughter that has more boob's than I do.

I just went and got fitted for one. I have them custom made because my cup size is a FF. my band went down but the boobs are exactly the same. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. I had no choice the band went from a 46 to a 42 and it was getting way to big.

I'm going to hold off for the next one as long as possible. My girl made my new one slightly snug and added 2 extra rows of hooks. This way I can keep this one longer.

I wish I could wear a sports bra but these babies just won't fit in there. I'd look like I'm smuggling twins or something.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
