Let's talk swimsuits....



Recommended Posts

So, I'm looking to find a swimsuit for my honeymoon in June... I'm trying to find something with a little more than a shelf bra, but I'm running into a couple of problems. Evidently if you are a 36, you can't have boobs bigger than a C cup, and if you have a DD, you must be a 40.

I haven't looked in ALOT of places yet, but I thought I'd post here while I was searching to see what people have found...

Thanks guys!

Should have clarified... the idea of ME in a swimsuit killed the appetite, not the thread orginator! :)

I found a great bathing suit which was 2 pieces. A little skirt and a tan top (not tight). I found it at Kohls. They carry up to size 24 I believe. Have fun on your honeymoon. Julie

NV girl, thanks for clarifying, lol. You're on your way to worrying about this stuff. I'm just glad I'm in a size where every suit I look at doesn't have a skirt!!

Not near where I want to be, and I still don't like the idea of wearing a swimsuit in public, but I'm going scuba diving, so it's a must :)

When I used to dive (been a couple of years :) ), I bought my suits from Land's End (www.landsend.com). Their suits (at least then) offered the most sizes (short, regular, long) and the quality was fantastic!

I've found several suits at of all places, Wal-Mart. They have all sizes (and yes I'm a DD too), and they're cute, not old lady suits. Have a great honeymoon!

Here in Australia/New Zealand we wear what we call 'boardies' shorts made out of a special light material and a tank top like thingy made out of stretchy stuff with a built in bra...that is my current swim suit...when I get out of the Water I don't have to cover myself up quickly cause it just looks like I am wearing...shorts and a singlet top...hehehe

Junonia (www.junonia.com) sells separates so you can order the tops and bottoms in different sizes.

I dive and I would recommend their aquatards over a swimsuit for wearing under a wetsuit. (Two models at http://www.junonia.com/thumb.htm?tl=1&ldid=2&sdid=16).

Also try Googling "bra size swimwear" or similar. Just got lots of hits that offer bra size bathing suits.

Once some of this weight gets off and I am in better condition than I have been for the past year, I can't wait to go down again. Thanks for the suggestions!

      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!!
