Women, getting close to goal weight, how to find a bra that fits?



Recommended Posts

Ok, I went to a dept store to try on bras. That in itself is a NSV (non scale victory) for me, because they never had those 38DDDDs in there. Well, I’ve dropped down to a 34DD, exciting. I can shop anywhere. Nope, NOTHING fits. All those beautiful bras, but my girls are so EMPTY that they just look like melted ice cream cones in everything. At least in my too big 36DDDs they are kind of hidden even though they aren’t supported.

I am planning once at goal to have a lift and augmentation, but until then, is there any kind of bra that looks great when your boobs are super deflated? Thanks.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and search reddit for "A Bra That Fits" you will be surprised to find out what your true size is.

If I am able to locate the link, I will come back and post it here.

This, truly life changing. And then look around that site for brand and style recommendations based on the size and almost more importantly SHAPE you find. And search for weight loss on the site and see what they discuss.

Make sure you go and get fitted to make sure that is the size you need. I don’t know what department stores are in your area but major stores will fit you. I went from a 42DD to 36G and breast looks great went to Dilliards but the web site is a great idea after you know the correct size

Unless you get a really experienced fitter the instructions on measuring yourself on that website will actually give you more accurate sizing. There are excellent fitters and there are awful teen girls with minimal training. Never get fitted at Victoria Secret, they have a limited size range and will make you fit in what they have.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
