Bra Fitting
Okay, so I have a friend that recommended that I get fitted for my new bra size and so off I went. The girl doing the fitting asked what size bra I was wearing and I told her that it was a brand new VS 36DD. She just shook her head, took out a measuring tape and left, coming back with a couple of full coverage bras. When I say full coverage, I mean that this thing looked like a bra turtleneck. Well she commenced to buckle me in, adjust straps and asked me how it felt. Well, it felt glorious! I asked her what size bra it was and she told me it was a 36 G. I about fell out when I heard that and was all like, whatever! I couldn't wtP myself around the fact that I could possibly be a G cup. She explained how a bra was supposed to fit, where the underwire is supposed sit, how the straps lay...I didn't realize there was a such a science behind the fit of a bra!
Well, I took that one off and put my VS bra on to compare the fit and there was no comparison...The VS was not fitting like the bigger size. It's like I didn't know how a comfortable bra felt until that moment.
I bought 2 bras even though in the back of my mind I know my boobs prolly still have some settling to do. They are just Sooo comfortable!!

Please tell me where you went for such an amazing bra fitting session!

I want to know too. I've been fitted (pre - MMO) at Soma, VS, Penney and somewhere else. VS is really a joke, I love their sports bras but I pick my size not what they say. Soma was my best experience and loved my bras from there. Curious if there might be another option. You look great!

Well, I live in Dallas and this was a department store: Dillard's. I've never been to Soma but I hear they have great products and service. I'm sure it depends a lot on the person doing the fitting. My girl knew her stuff. My girlfriend was with me and wanted to get fitted as well after seeing her work her magic with me.

What is the brand in your bra? I got fitted at Nordstrom's. 34G. I too was shocked. Dillard's was not very helpful plus the lady there said they didn't carry G's in the store.

the brand of the bra is Le Mystere. That's weird about Dillard's...they have several different styles to choose from. Maybe it's a store thing...I'm sure that stock varies from store to store.

Still hoping to learn where you got your awesome fitting session.

6 Week Post Op
6 weeks! Overall, I feel that I've done really well through this post op experience.
It's the rash (which turned out to be a fungal infection, I'm supposing it is from wearing the Spanx in the Texas heat for my daughters 3 day horseback riding competition...I change my Spanx at least once a day, but was at the arena from 8am-6pm everyday) has affected me the most, I guess because I was pretty mentally prepared for surgical post op, but not the rash. Especially due to the fact that I had just turned the corner and was feeling more myself finally. I'm probably 90% rash free. That rash has been a [RS bleep]! My PS initially told me to use Cortizone first for the itch then layer with the Nystatin. Well, the rash just blew up! I googled it and apparently, you NEVER use a steroid medication with a fungal infection because it feeds on the steroid and grows! So this rash, that is covering my torso, under my boobs, down both thighs and my arms was raging...I was showering twice a day and reapplying the Nystatin. I got some over the counter cream, Lotrimin and used it at noontime.
I was changing my clothes 3 times a day and unable to wear my Spanx or tape on my incisions...I was all kinds of cray cray!
I was looking as bad as I did right out of surgery.
Well, I'm finally looking human again. The itching is minimal and my mental state improved.
I went to Victoria Secret to try on bra's and see what size...I'm surprised that I'm a
36 DD! My boobs look amazing in a bra.
I thought that the rash was going to screw up my scars, but amazingly, looks great!
I'm hoping to start back at the gym this week...slow start. My PS has given me the all clear and no restrictions.

Oh my goodness you poor thing! Glad the rash is dissipating for you. You look wonderful! I can't wait to work out again although right now I don't have the energy, I'm 10 days post op.
September 19, 2016
wow only 6 weeks out and you look amazing!'
September 21, 2016
You look amazing, I am pn day five of my surgery, just a TT. I am 58 years old, and After having three C-sections I thought it was time for me since my three daughters are in college now. No one can really prepare you for how you are going to feel after surgery. I was so sick with vomiting and diarrhea at times I felt like I just wanted to die. I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck. I have been following you closely, and I feel like I'm listening to my own story. I just hope I am able to work next Thursday and Friday I do her just I have been following you closely, and I feel like I'm listening to my own story. I took 2 weeks off from work , I only work two days of hairdressing, I'm so afraid that I won't be able to do it. How to overbook myself then God. It's your photos that keep me going. Please keep your postings coming, it just gives me something to look forward to as the days go on there is a light at the end of this tunnel

Why thank you Karen! I agree with what you said about being prepared for how you will feel after surgery. I think for me, what I wasn't really prepared for was how I would feel emotionally. Wanting to feel / be better NOW. I feel as though I had a pretty good idea of all other aspects of the surgery except that. I thought healing was mind over matter and it really isn't. Your body is going to heal as it's going to heal and everyone is different. When you get to our age, we don't bounce back like the girls in their 20's, 30's and 40's.
I hope you do well when you go back to work and glad that it is only for 2 days. You'll be on your feet all day...A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do though.
I'll be thinking about you =^.^=
