I'm losing the most inches so far around my bust. I'm on the last row on my smallest bras, so I will need new ones soon. I usually get a good bra at the lingerie store, so it fits. They have told me that every 15 pounds you should have a new fitting. This could get quite expensive. How are you keeping the girls supported as you lose weight?

Frankly, I'm not doing a very good job of it. I need to be measured and size down. If it were just band size, I'd imagine there is a way to add a row of hooks in, but cuo size is affected as well.

I know they are pricey but my twins get Victoria secret bras. I am 42 and gravity is not my friend. I know it's not much help but I gotta keep the twins happy:)

I picked up some brand new Cacique (Lane Bryant) bras off ebay for a really good price. I only purchased three, black, beige and white. They should get me through the winter until I have to purchase smaller sizes again.

I am watching for sales at Victoria's Secret. I've dropped from a 44E to a 38DD and I think that I need a 36DD at this point. I am on the last hook on the 38, so... I am not buying new bras as soon as I should but I am only about 30 pounds from goal and it's painful to think of spending that money and then spending it again. EEEEK!

I've been buying cheaper bras at Ross and other discount stores. Will go back to my pricey brands after I stop losing.

I am a 36 DD too and just got a fantastic buy at kohls. I love the vanity fair underwire bras and I got 4 for 12.99 a piece! They are normally 38.00 a piece.

I like Bali bras which I also buy at Kohls. I bought a couple the other day. I went from a 44D to a 36B. I haven't been a B cup since I was 12! Lol

Bras are so incredibly important especially if you want to accentuate your figure. They should lift, hold you in and in turn help you with posture. I took my sister out bra shopping because she was frustrated with her bras, we found the right style for her breasts (a plunge style) and she says "oh my gosh I have a waist." I still love my cacique bras from lane bryant. They go down to a 38 and have so many styles. Keep an eye out for sales. Twice a year they have buy 2 get 2 free. Great quality...hang dry.

I wore a sports bra over my regular for months until it got to the point where I just had to get new ones.

My girls are totally deflated. Even my b-cup is underfilled. Someone at my group suggested going to a shop in town to be properly fitted and address my particular problems. It's very expensive but I can buy just bra and once I know what to look for I can shop other places.

      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!!
