I have the funniest Victoria's Secret story...

So several years ago I took my assistant to San Francisco for a conference I was speaking at. She was about five months pregnant and at her largest the dear was probably a B cup. That was the year Water bras came out. She was very uncomfortable (and a tad bit hormonal) so she wanted to buy a Water bra, but didn't want to try them on. She twisted my arm...she ran my life LOL I had to do it, so to see how much effect a water bra would have I was to try one on and let her see the difference between a regular bra and a water bra. Well dears, remember I'm an H cup. They don't sell those there.....or at least they don't make water bras for H cups cuz what do you want to be if you're an H? A Q? Anyhoo, they bring me the biggest one they have. Ellen and the staff are waiting for me to come out and I try the thing on with a t shirt (I was skinny then LOL) and OMG I put it on and I burst out laughing. My girls were standing at a level of attention they had never before managed. I swear they left the dressing room far ahead of me...it was both obscene, and funny as hell!

So Ms. Ellen decides she wants a water bra cuz if they can do "that" she's all in. I ask the sales gal...so what is in the water bra? Water? Is there a treatment in them? What will they do at subzero temps (we both lived in alaska at the time and regularly saw subzero). The gal looked all perplexed...she was from California and minus twenty was a concept she couldn't grasp...she was rather dumb as well.....anyhoo, she says in her pert little Victoria's Secret model voice.. "Well I suppose it could get a little nippley"

To this day I can't think of much more than what "A little nippley" might have looked like if Ms. Ellen had bought the water bra :) Fortunately hormones overtook her and we left....to go maternity clothing shopping, in a town where no one ever gets pregnant :P Never ask a gay concierge where to get maternity cloths! They're useless :P (But he was a hoot to have a drink with).

I am in love with chantelle bras right now. The prettiest and most supportive I've owned (Nordstroms). I think they were about 88 or so but worth every penny. I had purchased them when I was at my heaviest and loved them so when I lost a chunk and finally had to buy some new ones recently I went ahead and got two of those' date=' one dark, one light, to wear until I need to change again...I'm not sure I'll get much smaller but I think I could go down a bit more. They're great support without being "bullet" shaped. They are underwire, which I prefer, but not uncomfortable. My only complaint about them is that they have a cute label in the back made of metal with their name on it. It's not large...but large enough to set off airport security LOL I forgot about that recently when I had to fly commercial and ended up in the bathroom with a nail clipper to remove the silly things prior to going through security. I'm tired of the full body search LOL[/quote']

The Wacoal brand at Nordstroms are also great. They have the padded shoulder straps, which for me is a must. Sadly, my boobies look like deflated tube socks so a lift for sure is in my future.

I wear the wacoal brand of sports bras. They sell them in store at Dillard's. I can't remember if Nordstrom has them in store? But they work really well for me.

We just moved here from Florida in July, so I'm not familiar with either. I'm just now getting over the culture shock and finding my way around! Lol I definitely have no regrets I love it here and will never move back to FL. Beach or not! Hehe I was getting tired of Sea World getting called to do a rescue everytime I went to the beach! Lmao! Kidding!

I wear nothing but Bali Comfort Revolution bras now. I think I mention that I'm a 34C and I actually wear a small! I have issues with underwires, hard padded cups and irritating lace and straps. In other words, I HATE most bras.

Amazing support with these and I can actually sleep in these. They're so comfortable that I forget to take them off.

      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!!
