My Kingdom for a 32!
Ok, so I know that many of the ladies on here are small in the underbust, and much smaller than me. I consider myself on the smaller side of average. So, why is it that I can’t find bras with a 32” band? This is a consideration I never thought of before my breast augmentation. I easily found 32A and 32B bras. So, why not 32D or 32DD or 32DDD? I did not know that these were “special” sizes. I did know I was eventually going to get a few high quality bras from a specialty store and get properly fitted at some point. But I didn’t think my bra drawer would be exclusively filled with those bras. A 32” band is pretty common, no? I actually asked the lady in the lingerie section of Sears if there were any 32” bras, and instead of just saying no, she said “let me measure you”, and she said I’m between a 34 and a 36. That’s ridiculous. I could do up a 36” bra, and step into it and pull it over my whole body. like a hula hoop I’m really annoyed at the bra industry. I keep hearing that most women are wearing the wrong size bra. Well, make our sizes available, and we will wear them! I ended up getting two bras that were 34D and 34DD today, not because they fit, but because they were the closest thing I had to fitting.
On a more positive note … my boobies appear to be dropping! Compare this photo with my Day 4 photo and its quite remarkable!

3 weeks post op!
So today I had my 3 week post op appointment, and everything is going well. I'm in next to no discomfort. Still have morning boob, and some tenderness on my ribs but nothing that requires medication. I've started gently exercising. But I'm craving a good workout. I used to have a motto "sweat every day", and not having regular workouts is killing me. But I'm sure once I can safely "bounce" I will be back at it.
As many ladies out there, I'm itching to know what size I'll be. So, I'm going through my bras and seeing if I have anything I can compare with. I nursed both of my babies, so I have all sorts of sizes that I used during nursing and pregnancy. Most of them have a much larger band, but I'm using the sister size method to guess my cup size. I'm a 32 band now, so check the pics and captions to see what I've found out! My guess is that I will end up as either a 32D or a 32DD. Hard to know for sure, but its kinda fun guessing. The weirdest thing for me now is that I have no idea what my bra size looks like. You know, when you go to a lingerie store and you look at the bras and can zero in on an A/B cup and know that it will be close to fitting you? I know what that "looks" like. I have no idea what I will be looking for now. It's weird and exciting all at the same time!

1 Week
It has been one week since I got my breast augmentation and I'm feeling good. I'm still not used to them, and when I see myself in the mirror I'm always a little startled. I'm surprised how one minute they can see so huge and another I can make them disappear under a baggy t-shirt.
I like them, but they are still so firm and fake looking. I know d&f takes time, but I do have moments of thinking "what if they look like this forever?" I don't want to look like a stripper with boobs that don't move. What if they never soften. What if they never become squishy? Then I have to remind myself that its only week 1. They will get there. They already do seem a bit lower than they did 3 days ago, so I can't complain too much. I shouldn't be too impatient though. By the time my boobs do d&f my summer will be over and I will be upset with myself for squandering it!
