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.

      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! 😞

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
