32A to 32D after Sientra 300cc's. 5'1", 105 lbs.

Picked up a VS bra today. It was the only wireless one they had. It's super comfy and pretty. Size 32D. The second pic is a wireless Wacoal bra in 32DD, which was altered to be closer to a 30 band size. I don't understand bra sizing at all. I don't think anyone would say I was busty. I think my boobs are modest, but DD sounds so huge.

Had my first post-BA workout, and I'm soooo happy!!! I had been doing cross-fit regularly for about a year until my BA. I missed it so much during my recovery because it helps me clear out my brain. I admit, though, that despite missing it, just a few weeks ago I didnt feel recovered enough for it and didnt think I'd be up for it at my 6 week milestone. My recovery has been fantastic, but i've been cautious for fear I'd mess something up. Well, last week that all changed. I think it was mostly mental. I felt less hesitant about physical exertion and using my chest muscles, so I was thrilled to get cleared for regular exercise. This morning, I was back at crossfit. It was wonderful!!!! Make sure you have a very supportive sports bra. I tried on an old one, jogged in place to test it and found that the bounce of my new boobs was very uncomfortable. Thankfully, i had purchased one on sale that kept the girls securely in place. I thought I would skip any exercises that felt wrong on the boobs but found that I felt just fine. Some things, like chest flies, felt weird and different but not painful. I felt ok running and doing push ups. Laying on my stomach was probably the most uncomfortable of the exercises, but it still wasn't bad. My muscles are so sore all over from the workout, but I am just ecstatic to get back into my exercise routine! Maybe I'll take a hot bath tonight because I got the ok for baths, too. I love the 6 week milestone!!!

Had my 6 week follow up last week, got the ok to work out and wear normal bras - no underwire the first year, though. I feel fantastic and back to normal. I am so ready to get back into my workout routine. Yay!

Today, I was so excited to visit a bra shop - a full service place where you work with a bra fitter and can't pull stuff off the rack yourself. Not my usual, but I wanted to ensure that the new, improved girls were properly fitted. To my surprise, I am measuring at a 30D. I was in such disbelief until I tried on like 4 different brands. I had a little mental meltdown when I saw the sizes the bra lady was bringing me to try on. D just sounds so big. But I reminded myself that my BA wasn't about cup size. I wanted the size that looked natural on my body in a modest way. I'm beyond happy when I look in the mirror and have been so happy since the day I got my BA. I'm just a little surprised that 300cc's got my deflated barely A's to D's.

Oh, and I always thought I was a 32 in band size, but trying the 30 made me realize that I've been wearing ill-fitting bras all these years. And let me tell you that 30 is very limiting as many bra makers start at 32. I'm paying extra to have my new bras altered.
