To buy new bras or wait?
Definitely go somewhere ( I like the Dillard's or Soma suggestion ) and get measured.
There are two schools of thought here..one is to go and spend the extra money and get a really great, high quality bra, and the other is to go cheaper, and possibly not the greatest quality.
When I was in the middle of my weight loss, I actually found some decent bras at Kohl's. They were mid-priced...and gave nice support.
Now that I'm done losing for the most part, I splurged on some awesome push-up bras with inserts to boost up my girls and make them look fuller.
The weight los**** my girls, and hit them HARD. I can LITERALLY roll them up to stuff them in my bra cups. I'm not kidding..they're like pancakes-and not like nice, fluffy pancakes either. I went from a 44G to a 32 LOOOOONG.
I'll have zero trouble when it's time for a mammogram!!
I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

Lmao, this made me giggle. I know exactly what you mean. I started out with 46ddd and I'm not sure where I'm at now. I still have a good 80 pounds left to lose, so I'm sure mine will be like two ragged flags, flapping in the wind. How patriotic of me. My husband is ex military, so I'll insist he salute when I undress in front of him.
Get a new bra. Get those puppies up where they belong. New bras were a must for me but I only had 2 that fit each stage of my weightloss. I washed them often.

Get new bras. That was the first thing I bought new after surgery.Even though I 'deflated' my cup size was actually the same, I just didn't fill it up the same and it was smaller with a smaller band size. I actually found I liked and then was able to keep reordering them as I went down on Amazon for a good price.
