Old habits die hard... silly!

For years, well before WLS, I had to "adjust" the girls into any bra I wore.  They were big, and needed to be "pointed" out.

I no longer need that after plastics, since I'm a 32C+/D-.

But tonight, after the gym, I came home and showered and found myself trying to "adjust" the girls who now point out all on their own and no longer need to be lifted up into the underwire to prevent pinching.  Wonder when I'll stop doing that?

On a different note, I mentioned earlier this week (probably during my rant) that my nut was leaving the practice... she got a better offer from a hospital group closer to her home.  I emailed her to wish her a hail and farewell, and ask one last question.

She responded, and said that she was giving me her private email in case I had other questions down the line - she enjoyed working with me.  Now mind you, I am so NOT mindlessly compliant.  I've been on her about the whys and wherefores of the practice recommendations that do not always jibe with the ASMBS recommendations, and was REALLY on her right after my WLS when she told me that anything above 60g of protein per day would be a waste, but she was teachable and between us, we made my tool WORK.  She also went to bat for me with the idiot NP (who says I should lose more weight) about stabilizing my weight, and authorized more labs than the NP would,  I am going to miss her, and am pleased that she gave me a way to continue to ask my questions rather than just shuffling me off to one of the other 3 nuts in the practice (one per hospital).  I know I'll have to see one of them eventually, and that's fine, but I got to liking this one and I'll miss her.

I'm glad you'll be able to talk with your dietitian after she goes to the other hospital. I wish more would be teachable, it so dang refreshing when they are and you just want to hug them!

Funny (about the adjusting!)   I've never had to adjust until my WLS....everything is just so darn droopy!  Maybe I'll be brave enough for plastics someday....until then, I'll just "adjust"...

Good luck finding a new NUT....hopefully one of the ones will work out for you....sounds like you lost a good one!

swim swim swim ( breast stroke is by far the most effective stroke for this ) , salycilic acid , REAL TIGHT bras even in the house ... and build up a little shelf of pecs under the breasts in the gym with barbell decline flyes .....

Ull see an AMAZING difference !

I too find myself reaching in my bra to "adjust" myself... Something I've had to do forever, and especially AFTER WLS...  Its great now not having to do it now. 

I'm wearing a 36D after wearing a 32-34 D.  Its kinda interesting to see how the girls fit differently in a bra now.  I think I'd wear a 34DD at VS... but the 36 keeps the band loose on my incisions - and it doesn't ride up, so it works for me.  The 34D wouldn't sit against my rib cage... think if I had a bigger cup it would have.  But this works for now.  They didn't have any 34DD in the bra I was looking for (they only had 2 styles of bras without underwires).

Shopping for a new brassiere is NOT on my list of things I look forward to doing!  I think I'm going to go with over the head sports bras that smash them flat (er) so I don't have to think about it.  ROFL!

LOL!  Yeah, I put it off until I literally fell out from the bottom.

But it was fun doing the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale with DD: we were digging madly through the bins for anything in my size, and then I tried on EVERYTHING!  It was a real hoot!  We found 2 styles that worked very well for me, one for work and one for play, and purchased them in any color we found.

It was actually funniest that one of the bras looked a bit like VS had ripped off the Hermes bridle bit pattern only silver on white instead of gold/brass on white, but it looked cute.  Then I got it home and realized I'd bought a bra patterned with handcuffs!  Bondage, anyone? LOL!

Whatever, it looks good on and no one but DH sees it!

That's hysterical!  When is that every year?  I might have to try it this time around. 

As near as I can tell, it's late January/early February and then again in late July/early August.

It'll be interesting to see what I find this summer... yeah, I'm turning into a lingerie lush. LOL!

Well, when you and you DD hear it's coming up, would ya post it please, if you remember?  I'm really out of the loop when it comes to hearing about what's going on at the closest mall...  and lord KNOWS I'd love to be a lingerie lush too.  rofl!!
