Serious mistake re sports bra

Right, this is not going to be a moan- I think I have made the point that I'm not happy with size but here goes coz I just can't stop laughing (well now that is) LOL

Tonight, I was obsessing over boobs as I'm sure we all do and I thought to myself, this Sports Bra seems rather roomy, better get the smaller one on for support.
So........ I goes to my hospital case, picked out my other Sports Bra and thought aaaaaahhhhh lovely, just lovely, nice and fresh, looks a great size. Felt it, rubbed it loved the texture (almost smelled it lol), all happy with what I saw. Thought, yeeehah!!! Was excited as I was kinda getting the whole feel for this "smaller" sprorts Bra. So almost dancing to the bathroom for a shallow bath, new jammies under arm, whistling "I gotta feeling", I wanted to just go the whole way and decided to peek at the lable (ok so I was expecting a C) and here is the important part. To my absolute dismay it said D!! I checked, double checked and then it hit me- like a truck I only had 2 bras in my hospital case, a C and D cup and I was holding the D in my hand- AAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!

So standing in the upper landing (Sorry neighbours), I ripped off this roomy Sports Bra for a lable check and recoiled in horror- my fears confirmed. Deflated doesn't even come close. So I sat at the top of the stairs willing this frickn C lable to change before my eyes AND GUESS WHAT- it clearly wasn't happnin'!!!!! LOL Bummer!!!

So the story goes.... I have appointment at clinic tomorrow and had wanted to feel nice- not arrive in an iodine smelly stained 4 day slept in Sports Bra (they did tell me to keep the same one on but hey I thought I'd present with a touch of class- I mean clean haha) So then I was all in a panic- what do I do with these mamas while I wash and dry the tiny but roomy sports bra. I put the D on (sad sad times), practically could fill it twice over and that's just one cup, put on a sports vest and sat howling and sweating (heating up too high to dry the bra) for about an hour- also holding these things just to be extra cautious until said C Bra was ready. LOL

Then as if it couldn't get worse, my mum came to see me. Asked how I was, I explained the whole story as best as I could with tears blinding me as I stormed about giving her the proper actions and everything and she burst out laughing, a hearty one that seemed to echo through my bones!! She literally couldn't stop and went and sat in the garden. Then reminded me how I was prancing about the other night telling her "this D cup is sooooo tight" I laughed and cried and this continued until we agreed not to mention it. She couldn't even apolgise without getting hysterical but did manage a muffled- it's so sad you feel like that before choking on her tea (There was me thinking I was the crazy one) She did hoover though, and was delivering my girl back after taking her for the day, and I did get lunch and dinner so really she is supportive but I've found with a wicked cruel sense of humour!!!


So ladies, I really think I'm a B and this whole thing kinda confirms it or that I'm not a C anyway. I'm not so upset as it's easier to take now I've decided to get a re-op asap- when they let me due to GA and scars etc. It is early days but I'm going for 410s as there wouldn't be much difference with a 380cc I don't think. Anyway, just thought I'd share coz it gave me a good giggle and actually cheered me up which I needed.

Sweetie, don't worry, you can't possibly be a B cup with 340cc. Maybe right now it seems that way, but you just had your surgery... You had unders and the muscle is compressing the implant. Once the muscle relaxes the implant will start to "fluff", and your true size will reveal itself. These things take time. Chin up!

Hi again lovely. So its confirmed eh? That makes me sad! How far along are you? Only a few days??! I was a B-C in my first 2 weeks and now I am a D. But I am not trying to make you feel better I feel just as crappy as you and no one can talk you out of it. I definately want to go bigger. EVERYONE thinks I am crazy. And that makes me cry more each day. Sometimes I feel like punching my boobies square in the nipple! My girls are still shiny like a barbie so hopefully that means I am still stretching and fluffing. If I go any smaller than a D...I will make my nexr BA for the day after.

Sweetheart, there is a key word we all need to bare in the forefront of our minds throughout early recovery the word is -

P A T I E N C E

What you have now is not your resulting size hun, you do have many changes ahead sweetness.

My first sports bra - 34D, by 3 weeks post-op - 36 DD and by 12 weeks post-op - 32F.

You seem to be literally talking yourself into a B cup! LOL, hunni, I'm positive with a large 340cc implant you will NOT be a B cup.

Sports bras are funny things anyway. I wore a d cup sports bra for 9 weeks post op and when I got measured for the first time for an underwired bra I was a double f cup! I had 385cc implants, so not a lot bigger than yours.
As others have said... you've got plenty of changes to go through... I'm sure you'll be surprised as time goes on.

Hey hun, I wore a D cup sports bra and when I got measured I was an F, I later measure a FF/G
You have unders, so the muscle will be tight at 4 days post op, it will be holding the implants down. But give it time and they will change. It can take weeks maybe even months before you see the difference, but it will come. It's too soon to worry about bra sizes yet. Get measured properly at 6 weeks.

im in a sports bra till 3 months
but im off to get fitted properly for one tomoz cos its just not comfy
