Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I completly understand with you. Your shopping experience is the very reason why I got implants in the first place. I am only one week post-op and I am so nervous about bra shopping. In fact, I was online today looking for "bras for flat women." I am so discouraged that I am almost thinking of not ever wearing a bra again. I am sending you a "e-hug". typesxxxy <typesxxxy@...> wrote: Hi Ladies,I just need a shoulder to cry on, someone who understands to vent to. Today is my 4 week post op date - woo hoo!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi , Thank you so much for your understanding. I have told myself from the beginning that my health is more important than my vanity, and I have to keep telling myself that. I think I look great without the implants, but the bra shopping has thrown me back a little bit. I mean I look better with a sports bra on than I did trying the others on. I was really looking forward to small, sexy bras but I feel so discouraged by all of this. We both have to hang in there! Lamse <wannabe_proverbs31@...> wrote: I completly understand with you.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I don't have any great advice. I am right there with you. I go on Monday to meet with a PS for the 2nd time with plans on scheduling my explant, assuming it will be done the right way. I have loved my hour glass figure that I have right now. I keep reminding myself that I have been too sick to feel good about myself and don't ever go out anymore where anyone would see my figure. I am tired of not living, so I know my only alternative is getting my implants out and trying to get healthy again, so I can live. I am really scared about how I will look after my explant. My breasts were VERY droopy and small before I had implants -- I know they will be smaller and most likely droopier. It is hard for me to already feel sick and then know that I am going to be adding something else to deal with now. Please remind yourself that you are not alone and that you are a strong woman for going thru all of this.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I think the only thing I liked about having those blasted boobs was the bra part of it, otherwise I felt self-conscious in my clothes and was always trying to hide them. Since I only had them for 6 months, I don't think I ever bonded with them, so being small again is like being " me " again. I definitely understand where you're coming from, though, because when I first had them out and got dressed in the hotel, it was quite a change - however I'm 3 months post op now and I feel good about how I look. I haven't gone bra shopping yet, I'm back in the bra's that I wore before implant - I saved them because deep down I knew I wasn't going to keep them. I think what might help is to remind yourself about what you didn't like about the implants - the pains you were having, the feeling that you were too big or unnatural, and hopefully in time you'll be able to go bra shopping without getting upset.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I know that feeling well....I hated bra shopping myself with a passion. It was such a downer. But please give yourself more time for fluffing! You will probably need to buy some bras that are stretchy and can grow with you for at least a few months. Your other option is to buy the breast enhancers that seem to be so available these days. I found that they helped me pyschologically through that tough period and they looked totally natural. Nobody knew I had them except my husband. I've continued to wear them and feel pretty good in my clothes. I used to wear bigger ones, but when I saw myself in pictures I thought they made me look fat! So I downsized. I know this is so tough....I've been there, but please trust that better days are ahead, and believe in the fact that you are so beautiful just being yourself. You are indeed are beautiful! I know that is true even if I have not seen your picture. One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 45:11, and it describes how Christ views us (it is a Messianic scripture)....it says that He is enthralled with our beauty! Believe that and live in that reality.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 This is an awesome letter. You put it so well, and that is the truth that I think most of us eventually learn through our suffering. We thought breast implants would fix something about us we didnt' like, but what we had to learn is that life is not about breasts, it's not about legs, or eyes or hair or anything....there is so much more underneath those layers of skin, and we can have FUN being US in so many ways--safe ways that don't require us to undergo risky surgery. Thanks for sharing your thoughts..that was great!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Four weeks is a little early to be the shape you will finally end up being . . . Six months is more like it. .. . Please don't get down on yourself! . . . Boobs is not where beauty begins or ends!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Kenda You have a very healthy attitude towards your body! And making yourself strong and healthy probably goes along way to feeling good about yourself! I know I always feel better when I feel that I am strong.
