Oh yippeeeeeee!!!!!!! Bras with color!! Bras that are comfortable!! A nightie in which your boobs don't hang below the bustline! Shirts, you say!? And what is this "off the rack" of which you speak? Is it a new type of shopping only available to those with perfect, PROPORTIONATE, HEALTHY AND VIRTUALLY SCARLESS breasts?! Just so curious about this secret shopping society.........
It truly was amazing! Just wait Piggles...when you are inducted, you will become hooked too! Make sure your credit card has slimmed down before your surgery because it is going to pack on some weight after :-)
Piggles, you are soo... right about that when trying on nighties and the boobs hanging below the bustline. .. what's up with that??? And I always felt it was just me that experienced that problem?
Ah hell...that's not even HALF as much as putting on a hoodie (braless at home), putting my hands in the front-load pockets and hitting my nipples. Doesn't get any more attractive than that! WTF?!?
Oh My Goodness, Piggles! That has so happened to me! It is absolutely horrifying!
That's why I just never dared try in the last 18 years...it was just too depressing. So it was completely amazing when I bought it on a whim and it not only fit...but I received a standing ovation at first glimpse :-D
Oh may.. Iowa you're such a bad girl. I get your pun.. nudge..nudge...wink...wink. ;o)
o____O
Yeah, Rosie...that probably was a bit crude...I guess I can blame it on the euphoric high I was on from shopping and finding things I loved that fit me.
And Piggles...I've no doubt you weren't fooled by my subterfuge either :-)
My default position is "naughty" ;)
Not at all crude, it's nice to see that "we" are enjoying our new bods so much. ;o)
Nice!!! Looking good girlie!
Thanks, Kimmers! Had tons of fun!
The lady at the bra shop called me her very own life-size Barbie!
OMG, dang, hottie! You look like a sex kitten! I'm sure your husband feels like he hit the jackpot!
And I'm so glad to hear that you had a great shopping experience! I know you'd had trouble with bras before. How awesome!

LOL Rachel...you made me laugh! As a sex kitten I have some pressure! Shopping was fun. It took awhile, but the ladies at the store were so helpful and didn't mind at all that I basically took up residence in their dressing room! And even though those labels had bigger letters than I liked, I decided to ignore that and just be thrilled that they do carry sizes that fit me! Attitude baby...its all in the attitude!

Today on the spur of the moment I went bra...
Today on the spur of the moment I went bra shopping. I drove an hour away to go the the Hanes/Bali store. I spent almost 2 hours trying on every bra in the store. But guess what...I found 4 bras that were very comfortable and while I was only going to buy one, I decided I was worth all four! One was a Champion that is just like one I ordered from Amazon and I really like. I also got three Bali bras: One Smooth U, One Smooth U Lift, and Passion Comfort. In addition to that I also got a pajama set. And you know what? All of that only cost me $75.50...that is what I would spend on one bra before my surgery. Two of my bras were 34DD and two were 36D...one is light green, one is blue with polka-dots, one is boring beige, and one is...giraffe print! Totally cool, huh?
And since I was so happy that I found some bras I went on over to Vanity Fair and got six shirts, a pair of sunglasses, and....wait for it...a swimming suit...off the rack...and it was on sale for $30.00! Last year my suit cost me $142
So all in all it was a pretty good day!

You look so good!!! You are healing beautifully.
Thanks, Kimmers! I've been very fortunate with my healing :-)
Iowa you look beautiful! I think your size is great! You look fit and trim too. I am so happy for you.
Oh MO2B, fit and trim have never described me before, but I will take it! Thanks so much! How are you doing? Back to your normal routine/activities?
Thanks for posting updated pics. It is nice to see how they improved in shape and it looks like in softness too. They look so naturl . I am so JELOUS !!! :O) I hope mine will look as wonderful as yours do. Thanks again.
Thanks, Zing! I can't believe that anyone is jealous of MY breasts...I know the flat chested girls always say it, but we all know they are crazy and just don't know what they are talking about! :-D
You look fantastic! Take the summer or for that matter take as much time as you need.
Like what Kate said make sure you get some kind of guarantee that he will keep the beautiful shape that you are. You don't want him to mess with perfection.
I don't envy you...this is a tough one... I'm not sure what I would do if I was in your
shoes? But like I said before you're a smart girl, I know you will make the right decision for yourself. Take care. :o)

Thanks, Rosie! I'm comfortable now with the thought of waiting a few months to do anything...if I'm going to. I even got in the shower this morning and didn't spend a second of my time even looking at them, the only thought I gave them at all was in regard to how my shirt was hanging from them before heading out the door this morning...and I must admit the same shirt that was extremely clingy and just right with stilettos for a BonJovi concert last year was completely appropriate with capris at church this morning!
A super HUGE Thank You! to all of you for the encouragement and support! You have really helped me to be more objective about myself and less critical! I am now completely comfortable with waiting before I make any decisions and I'm fully prepared to enjoy my first summer in forever that I can go to the lake or pool with the boys and not feel like a freak show! I really do appreciate everyone and am so thankful that we have each other to bring us back to reality when we fall face first into a major freak-out!
Iowa, I am not even kidding, you look perfect! They look fabulous and what a difference from the 2 1/2 month mark. They do not look too big at all! I am glad you are waiting because I think you are going to end up liking where you are! Especially with all of the working out, you will continue to shrink and that includes boobs!!
I think just the fact that I can work out and I'm enjoying it is a major accomplishment for me. We are going to be hiking and canoeing the first week of June and I'll be anxious to see how I feel while doing that! If afterward I can sleep without horrific back and shoulder pain I will feel victorious!
Your boobs look wonderful. I can't see any scars anywhere.
How soon after surgery did you start using the silicone sheets? And where do I get them, by prescription from my PS?
Thanks and ttys
I didn't use the silicone sheets. Once the incisions were completely closed I used a silicone based cream recommended by my PS. It is called ScarZone and you can get it just about anywhere. I got mine at Wal-Mart for just under $10. I was to use it twice daily...unfortunately I wasn't the best at getting it in twice a day, but I still think it did a really great job.
