Matching Bra and panties from Victoria Secret-priceless

WORTH IT
It's been a while since I've written. I am trying Mederma for my scar. Hope that can speed up healing. Has anyone had any experience with it? If so, holla and let me know. For as much as this [RS bleep] cost at CVS, it better work.

I'm battling a tonsil infection. Left work early

What is it about men? I had an awesome male buddy who said, "I understand why you got it done, but I liked it when you had the girls." And for the record, he has NOT seen me naked. I wanted to say, "honey, if you seen these puppies unharnessed, then you'd think differently!" He's a cool dude, so I'm not going to sweat him. He's being a guy

Men. They want big boobs, a trick pelvis and a tight...I better not go there. A filthy mind is a terrible thing to waste. And in my opinion, if you still have a D cup, there's plenty to "play" with.

In good news. I bought my first bra from Victoria Secret. I had $10 off a bra, so I took advantage. I'm reading that their bras run small and they're not the best place to get sized. The bra I got is hella sexy though. I'm planning on getting sized at Nordstrom or Dillard's.

It's crazy that I bought a D cup and that the bra is padded. I love that it's hot pink. Got the matching panties too

I'm back to the gym with a vengeance. Gotta shake these extra pounds loose, yo!

Off topic Pet peeve: folks REALLY need to learn the difference in LOSE v LOOSE. You don't loose weight, you LOSE.

Example: you want a slot machine to be LOOSE so the casino will LOSE money
Call me nit picky but it grinds my gears. I'm just saying

Thanks for the great review. I'm one week post op & needed to read something from someone with a like sense of reality. It feels like my surgery was a month ago. I'm having intense burning, pins & needles & pain. My PS only gave me enough percocets for 5 days. Thank God, I have other pain meds for other issues. Thanks for the inspiration.

Just read your blog and loved it! I'm 6 1/2 weeks post op but I wish I'd read your review sooner. You are such an inspiration!! You look great, you are taking care of yourself, so anyone who doesn't support that can go kick rocks (love that saying!!!)

Funny you asked It has been a while since I have been on here. My husband got a job offer in Virginia and he took it. We moved at the end of February. I am still happy with the breast reduction. I can't believe next year will be 2 years since it was done

Good to see you doing so well and the hot pink bra is stunning. Men will never understand how cumbersome large breasts are to carry around - they just think they are toys for boys. Good luck on losing weight so your clothes will be loose.

Just read you entire review start to finish. Disclaimer: I am a Gamma Phi Beta lol! But I loved reading this, you are hilarious, and why aren't you doing stand up or writing a book!?!! My story: I removed silicon implants after 25 years and went from DDD to B. I get a lot of " you were so sexy before, why did you..." Seriously, I call that douchebaggery. It's like telling someone "oh you got your hair cut, too bad it was so cute before..." I feel FREE, LIBERATED, able to run without having to harness down my heavy boobs with 3 bras!!!!! You look great, by the way!!!!

My left breast is slightly larger...it was that way even before surgery. I'm using bio oil on my scars. They are slowly fading. Over all, I'm VERY happy with my reduction. Husband is still not, but since he was not carrying these boobs on his chest, he can [RS bleep] kick rocks. He said, "I liked you better before." Build a bridge and get over it, pal.
