Tink,

I'm not laughing over your undies dilemma, as a matter of fact I was right

there in your 'shoes' and I've finally found the perfect undies! They're at

Walmart, they're their brand I believe; Vassarette, $3/pair and come in all

sorts of colors. Hear at the local Walmarts in our area they are sold on an

'end cap' of one of the underwear aisles. I've gone from their largest size

(3X)

and now wearing a size Large and I won't wear anything else...these are the

BEST!

Go to 's Secret and ask there. Seriously. They all look 15, and

they're all twigs, but they're given great training in how to fit bras

and panties, and they will be really helpful. At least at my local

store, I had THREE gals swarming all over me, saying admiring things,

when I explained about my surgery and whipped out my before photos. It

was a " girlfriend " experience like I'd always craved (and I'm 36, so I

was old enough to be mother to some of them!) LOL

And you know, thongs ARE mighty comfortable, if not ideal for everyday

wear. I couldn't believe how much I liked them after my TT left me a

nice shape. No panty lines in snug pants, a HUGE advantage! :-)

Have fun shopping, and don't be ashamed. Ask for bra help too. Chances

are, you're wearing bras that don't fit you too. Most of us are/were.

Undies question.. ok I heard some one

laughin...

:]

I'm serious. After all these years of being post op I still have a

clothing issue, and I can't seem to solve it on my own.

You remember we had to learn to find clothing and figure out how to wear

something other than old lady or old man clothing... well...

ummmm ...I can't seem to get my undies to fit right and it's just dang

uncomfortable to go around with panties acting like they wanna be

thongs! I get the hip and waist area right but the legs just ride right

up my (_)_)! I have tried walking into the undies section in a store

but I get to embarrassed to ask anyone. How do you make undies fit

right without riding up your... you know... thong country.

Also on my weight issue...

A few weeks ago...I started with liquids trying to jump start my body

back to day one, which didn't seem to go well. But that jump started my

wanting protein after a few days with just fluids and broth's. Now when

I'm hungry I grill a pork chop or some meat, or boil or scrable

2 eggs. I'm watching my carbs and in a little over two weeks I am down

7.5 pounds!! Taa Daa!! I am not touching soda anymore either.

That's unbelievable to me. No anything sweet and full of sugar at all

anymore. I'm not even missing it. Those few days without all the junk

and drinking liquids and broths must have cleaned my system out. All I

know is I seem to be headed in the right direction again...that's after

a year or so of sliding UP the scale. I'm headed to my goal again.

Hope to hear how you figured out the undies. I figure the guys can't

help on this one. Not gonna even ask about anything more personal...

eee-gads! lol

Well, honey the solution is right before your very eyes- buy thongs!

They always fit right in the legs!! Try 'em, you just might

like 'em. I have spent the better part of my life trying to keep my

unders out of there and I finally gave up and shoved 'em in there and

as Gomer usta say, Surprise, surprise! I love 'em.

I would also highly recommoned 's secret. I had the same experience

that had. Their bras aren't cheap, but the advice and the experience

were worth it. It was so much fun! I only bought one there, and I actually

ended up buying most of my bras at Wal-Mart.

I found that the knowlege I gained at VS about how a bra should fit helped

me to find one that fit at Wal Mart for a better price. The bras there are

definately not as good quality as VS, although they are less than half the

price. They won't last long, so I just bought one in every color.

Happy shopping!

There is a Walmart bra line called " Secret " which is obviously modeled after

VS's stuff. I like both the bras and the undies. I wear some VS, some Walmart

and some Wacoal (very expensive brand from Nordstrom's and silimar places.

Worth having a few for the great fit.)
