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.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
