I dislike the new "home page" or whatever they want to call it. The feed has all this stuff I don't need, or want to see. Yuck.

I agree, I've been seeing nothing but Brazilian Butt Lifts and it's bugging me. I feel that now I have my tata's done they are advertising other surgeries to me. I'm not interested in any other surgeries. Thanks but no thanks.

That's what I'm wondering about too. I think I've looked at one Brazilian butt lift review, because the woman had had a breast augmentation, and I was curious to her end result...but now, why is it in my feed? I'd like an option for my home page.

Well I thought with us putting in our preferences as BA that would be the only thing we'd see but since I've had my BA I've seen liposuction and the butt lift.

I'm also seeing really old reviews. I clicked one, it ended up being from 2014.

Yeah, I've dealt with that too. I kinda stopped looking at the reviews for that reason. The only time I look is when one of the people I'm following posts something new.

I'm basically doing the same thing, only keeping up with people in my notifications.

Just wondering what happened to all your photos here?

So, I saw my doc yesterday, mostly for that stitch I could feel on my incision. He tried to get it, but it pushed itself back down under the skin more, so I'm just going to keep an eye for it again. Since the skin wasn't broken or anything, it wasn't too painful, but he put neosporin and gauze over it anyways.
I can start fully working out now, but still lighter weights. I'm going to find the lululemon store here in town so I can try on a TaTa Tamer, since I'm not really sure of my size. The ladies in the office agree that my VS size won't be the same as other stores, so trying things on is smart.
I asked my doc if my lower pole is going to go any lower, and he said he expects this to be my end results, which is super exciting. I'm loving their look, in clothes and naked. He did say, keep wearing supportive bras. His biggest problems come from the ladies who "think they're sexy" and go around braless in their tight tshirt...seriously, he's super funny. Anyways, he was saying if I don't want them sliding lower and lower, keep up with bras because gravity and age are always fighting us.
I have another appointment in three weeks, but I'm also feeling for the stitch, and have to go in right away if it pops back up. I asked about scar cream, and he said not yet.
Oh, I tried on one of my most favorite plaid shirts, but didn't wear a bra to see how it fits. My boobs are so big, they're making the shirt too short :(
Sadly, my 12 year old is close to this size, so I'll keep them for her. I say sadly, because she's like a quarter inch away from being as tall as me...at 12...13 next month. My baby.
Ok that's it for now.

Shame about your shirt, yours look awesome for being about a month and a half. I was glad to be back in the gym but I get frustrated when it comes to chest exercises, my husbands reminds me to take it slow and easy with those since I just had my pectoral muscles cut. Oh yeah. I can't complain though, I'm glad to finally have them. :D

15 minutes of the Bikini Body guide was all I could do, and you're supossed to do 30. Sweating like crazy. Glad to be really back at it, but def need a better sports bra.
I don't have pec pain, but things like picking up my heavy ass cat feels very weird. I'm doing my physical therapy for my shoulders, but only using three pounds right now...5 weeks off, and everything is clicking. I'm not doing push ups or planks yet either.

Lol, must be a big cat. I can't do push-ups yet, I can do plank but not as long as I was able to. Yeah, when I pick up heavy things and have to flex my pecs it definitely feels weird.

Bra sizing

Does Victoria Secret size transfer to other brands? Or should I just continue to try on bras, instead of ordering online?

My experience is that Vs runs small. I was a 32B in non Vs bras and a 32D in Vs. now I'm a 32DDD in Vs.
