Hi all! I'm 6.5 weeks post op and have just started hitting the gym. The only problem? I don't have a sports bra so I've felt a little uncomfortable! Any recommendations for a good, plus sized sports bra?

Thanks!

Lane Bryant has some that are not too shabby if you are not going super high impact.  I like the Maia from moving comfort and I like the Shock Absorber.  Both of these come in large breast sizes.  The Maia is underwire and the Shock Absorber is not.

I've heard good things about Moving Comfort too.... my only advice is DON'T spend a ton of money on a bunch of things at first. You'll go thru sizes (including bras) pretty quickly, so places like thrift shops/eBay were my go-to in the first year. After that, I started spending more money on Victoria Secret sports bras, as they lift really well and hold up thru distance running (especially the VSX "The Standout" line). But, each person and each sport will require different needs...

I agree, the better sports bras are spendy, so stalk the Marshalls or TJ MaXX for some good deals as you lose.  My favorite brand for support without the uniboob is Moving Comfort.  The have underwire and non underwire styles to hold the girls in place without looking smushed in.
