hey ladies ... im 2 months out from surgery , but alot larger than i had thought i would end up... but i was a runner before some very active now with my larger boobs i feel so bound up and still afraid to do things... workout hard , but i workout just nothing bouncing... or anything.. but what about running any of you ladies dds and over run? and how does that feel on you , how soon can we do this without hurting ourself?

I was a d before and had no probs with running i wore two sports bras and was good to go.. no problem..

Just get a really good sports bra. One that doesn't allow much bounce at all. I don't have the Enell, but I've heard it's a good one. I have a Shock Absorber. Supposed to eliminate most of the bounce. It is not a pretty bra. Not at all. Kinda ugly, actually, and makes the boobies very pointy. But I wear it every time I run! And my boobs barely move. It feels tight at first, but once you get used to it, it's so comfy! It costs around $50, but considering what I paid for my boobs, it is certainly worth it!

i'm a DD and very active at the gym. i can run and do sprints even, i work out my chest a lil too. no discomfort. ALTHOUGH when i run i get numbness and tingles in my boobs lol....which i think is just a bld flow problem at this point (i had the same things in my quads/knees after knee surgery until the vessels recoop!

TrekChick · 03-21-2008, 02:10 AM

DD here too (finally - haha!!). Like Slinky said, just get a good sports bra. I prefer "encapsulation" to "compression", and I use the Hind 'Nexus' and 'Motion Sensor' bras. The Nexus is for super-high impact and has a front zip. The Motion Sensor is for high impact and has a criss-cross back with a bra-type hook-band. Both are sized like bras with band & cup size. Good luck!!!

my best friend is a dd and runs relays... I think it took her a good 6 months to get back into it fully but she does do it

tombraidergirl · 03-21-2008, 09:25 AM

thanks ladies i am too early because im still sore from the surgery in my rightie... but , i am afraid as well because im so large , but im hoping that my doc maybe later will give me the ok , but i doupt it...lol he told me nothing but light walks till 6 weeks , and im still bruised coloured anyway under my rightie.. does this mean my breast are still swollen ya think?

anyways.. my local stores dont carry this type of bras. we live in a small town and im going to have to go else where to find good sports bras..... i had a great one but it was a d cup.. wore it for a cpl yrs with another bra.. i always had to wear two bras before i am on top and they just pulled too much on my skin before ya know? lol.... was uncompfy.....

but thanks ladies... so much..

Storm · 03-21-2008, 10:21 AM

I have dd's and i wear the shock absorber bras. If you can find them in the US..They do hold ya in.. If you are at home just hold the girls. it will get better...It does look rather funny. Holding your boobs while running. But i did at 1st ..

jodyt · 03-21-2008, 11:08 PM

i once ran to catch a train i didnt like it very much so i decided never to do it again that was back in 1992 and so far ive been true to my decision however i did just do a little run round my living room and yes i did bounce lots i expect i wouldnt have done if i wasent just wearing a dressing gown

I ran for the first time yesterday and OUCH.......I wore two bras also. I was so worried I was going to ruin my "job" that I stopped the sprints and just walked! I personally think my bras are too loose....and I need more support. If I could run holding my tits at the gym...I would!!! I worked out from home the other day and I was doing jumping jacks holding them!

ok.. well i guess im freaked a bit to run ya know? because mine are so large i am freaking thinking they will fall out...lol.. but i have gained so much weight because i had to take time off to heal the doc said and my thyroid is low so wow .. im so bummed... hope i can up the cardio now.

catherine · 03-23-2008, 12:32 AM

I will start next wk but I am so nervous. Even just brisk walks have proven to be difficult and I get this strange burning sensation especially in the Rt. breast. I will go out and get this shock absorber bra. I hate to spend all that $$ but I have no choice. Argh...and I am not even a DD.

I live in a big town but I hate spending time shopping! I get mine on-line from http://www.teamestrogen.com/

kbpurple · 03-23-2008, 11:03 PM

I actually went on my firts run today. I had to take it easy with some walking throw in, but it felt good to get out there. I am 6 wks po after BA/TT. It will probably take me a few weeks to get back to where I was. It wasn't my boobs, but my belly that gave me pain.

catherine · 03-23-2008, 11:30 PM

Hey guys, it was my first run today too. I cheated a little and went a couple days early and it went great. Woohoo. I wore my surgical bra and another sports bra overtop. The boobs feel great. The problem was more of my lung capacity. How quick we decondition.

marty25 · 03-24-2008, 03:40 PM

I'm still running, and I wear the Enell sports bra. It's very expensive ($50-60) but think how much you spent on the surgery. That's how I think of it.

Anyway, you barely move at all in it- it's really really supportive. I do bounce a little bit in the top of the bra, because it doesn't cover my breasts entirely, but the rest of them doesn't move at all. (Not a good explanation, but I can't think of another way.) I really recommend giving that bra a try.

*starkarros* · 03-24-2008, 04:26 PM

I have big boobies and I don't find that they get in the way of working out or running. Like the others have said, get a good sports bra. I also wear the shock absorber sports bras (VS use to carry them) and I LOVE them.
