I forgot about the boobs..

K.Wilson0507 · Jun 28, 2023

I know I needed to lose weight and there's been amazing changes so far, partly from surgery but I had lost 112 pounds before surgery. Still even with the hundred lb weight loss it didn't quite show yet and I had forgotten the hardest thing about being smaller... As I gained weight over the years my band size caught up with my cup size and buying bras had become so much easier. Now I'm nearly two months post op and the boobs aren't getting smaller but the band size is.. I had completely forgotten after all these years that I used to have to custom order bras. Now I'm in this situation where I can't find any to fit while also not able to dish out and waste money on one that will only fit for a short time. I tried sports bras but they aren't exactly made to fit an H cup.. anyone have any suggestions?

Uh, this is not an issue I've EVER had lol but, in the interest of being helpful, would sport tanks work temporarily?

eBay has EVERY bra you can imagine. The odd sizes, especially, are easy to find. And they are often sold in lots. I don't quite have to worry about cup size, but I'm between a D and DD, so I get all my delicates on eBay for cheap, just in case they don't fit well and I have to do a little sewing or cutting.

Thank you for the help! It's very much appreciated.

I work at Soma and they carry H-cup in store in some locations. I would call the nearest one so you can try them on, we are trained to help with bra fitting and most stores do not offer that anymore. I have helped many women find bras after weight-loss surgery. Every shop is different, but I hope there is a nice one near you. It's an emotional experience but so important for your comfort and fashion look going forward.

Omg, thank you! I had no clue where to go and no idea where to even start. I'll check it out ASAP.

Oo when I first lost weight I had the same issue. I’m pretty handy with a sewing machine so I would just tighten the band until I was done losing weight.

Thank you for posting that SOMA does bra fittings!

Yep, mine are headed south. I wear sports bras because they're supportive and comfy.
