Can we talk about boobs and bras?

I feel the same... I lost 50 lbs and NOW I'm a DDD

I don't bother to run... Never enough support despite wearing two bras

Sisters now I have something new to worry about. Although I am as fluffy as the rest of you,i' m only a C/D before the Great Weight Loss Expedition. Afterwards am I gonna have moobs instead of a good bust line. Truth is i m probably an oversized Junior, maybe my goal should be a 15 instead of a 16.

I was an H when I started on this journey. Now a DDD. I fence 5 hours a week and exercise another 3 - lifting, Pilates, Yoga, cardio. I swear by the Glamorize brand for big girls. I have two different styles the zip up and another that has a flap front that helps hold things nice and close.

DO NOT BUY CHEAP SPORTS BRAS - you will not want to exercise because your boobs will hurt whenever you try to do something. Spend the money on a decent sports bra.

I started out as a 40J and currently a 34H. It took me 75 lbs to hit this point. I get fitted at luxury boutiques then buy the bras from Amazon. I have the glamorise sports bra. It compresses me and minimizes the bounce. Love it.

I have the opposite problem as everyone else. I have completely lost my boobs. An A cup is too big for me.

I went into the bathroom recently at a restaurant and told a lady her jeans were cute. They had cute sparkly stars on the back pocket.

She thanked me and said "can I tell you something?" I said "what?" She told me I needed a better bra because my boobs were sagging. All the bras that fit me in the cup have no material on the sides. they are made for teenagers. I end up wearing sports bras which don't give me the lift or the look that I want-to look like I have boobs!

@oregondaisy This is a concern of mine. I've was a solid D for years and years. Then I had two kids... and they sort of deflated a bit. Now, facing WLS, I'm sure they'll end up looking like tube socks.

I’ve lost 100 pounds and my boobs look like tennis balls in tube socks. I definitely need new bras but I can’t figure out how to measure my saggy boobies. God knows I’m not letting someone else lift these things to measure them. I’d be mortified.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
