Boobs and bras. :-)



Recommended Posts

No Bralette is supporting us with DDs plus.

I am a F/G depending on the bra and I do have some bralettes but they don't hold me tight enough to provide comfort around the house or anywhere else. I do have some bralettes, but I layer them over bras when I wear tanks and they help cover loose skin under my arms.

Yandy lingerie is cheap, you can buy it while you are losing and if you only wear it once, who cares. They have babydolls for $13 a lot of times. Look for the sales.

I am about to have to throw out all of my regular bras, as I've lost enough that they're gapping and not fitting well. I'm moving to Genie-style bras for most of the time, and will probably get one new underwire bra each time I have to re-size. I have been very impressed with the new Jockey fit system. I got it for my teenage daughter, and she said it's the most comfortable bra she's ever worn. The sizing pack ships with a tape measure to determine the band size, and then a set of silicone cups to see what cup size fits best. It doesn't follow the normal sizing because it takes into account how the volume is distributed. You have to buy the sizing pack, but they send a coupon for that amount off of your first bra order.

I am a store manager at Victoria's Secret and can offer tons of options depending on where you are in the process. If you're not quite at a 38 band yet, I recommend Lane Bryant or Soma. But once you hit 38 and below, check us out! We have a lot of different options, including lightweight sports bras that are inexpensive and great for hanging around. Let me know if you want more info and I can give you specific suggestions!

I played a supply of "genie" bras. I went to the site to buy shape ware for mutt but tons of stuff was on sale. They don't have hooks but I got the ones with zippers. The cups are soft but the bra doesn't give me that "uniboob" look you get with some sports bras. The br also have removable "modesty" pads so your nipples don't show.

I can't say enough about the Genie compression leggings. They push and squeeze in e right places but don't flatten out my butt at all.

      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.
