Re: Hello Cherie, Rogene and everyone

Cherie,

I am glad you are feeling better! I am feeling alot of pain from my

post-surgery today. I am also feeling so depressed about being so

flat; I know that once I really start feeling better I won't be so down

about it. Damn our society for feeding us such a line of bull about

how a woman should look. I am just feeling insecure, I am so thin on

top that I don't have much. I hope I will get over this soon, is it

natural to feel depressed initially? I am praying hard to God to help

me through this because I do want to feel better...

God Bless,

Carol

hi Carol. Yes, what you are feeling is normal, but let me tell you

something that might cheer you up. Without the extra baggage on top

you can enjoy lying flat on your stomach without discomfort, you can

jog, run, play sports, fit into clothing better, and live without

feeling sick everyday. That is so much more important than having big

breasts! You're right, our society is totally screwed up in what they

tel us is sexy! I wanted my implants out long ago, because I was too

big after having the kids, but I couldn't afford it. I realized

several years after living with implants how sexy small breasts really

are. I love the scene in the movie 6 days 7 nights when Anne heche

looks at harrison Ford and yells " there's nothing wrong with my its! "

She's right! She is very small and yet very sexy. you will be too. : )

Hello ,

Thank-you for your kind words of support. I am still achey from the

anesthesia for sure because I am pretty sensitive to it. How long have you been

explanted? I know that once you are feeling better that this is all worth it; I

just needed to know if my feeling down was normal, I am not a self-pitying kind

of gal, so it was kind of like " hey, get over it! " I know your right, I need to

relax and let time take its course...

God Bless,

Carol

Lea,

Thank-you for letting me know that I am not abnormal in feeling down. I know

many of us feel insecure for many reasons, and our appearance shouldn't be so

central to who we are. I am okay with the padded bras, I just need to get

through this bad patch, and I'll be okay...

God Bless...

Carol

Hi Carol

I think we have all felt the way you feel, or we wouldn't have

gotten implants, right? Keep praying. Right before I was scheduled

to have them out, I prayed that I would be a beautiful mother and a

beautiful wife, cause when I really thought about it, that's really

what is important to me. I want to be beautiful to my husband and

my kids - what else could I ask for? I have spent my life trying to

look like the world's vision of beautiful, only to keep feeling

inadequate. It must have been the right thing to ask Him, because I

have felt such a change in my heart. My husband still thinks I'm

beautiful, and has been totally supportive. The experience has

bonded us even closer. My kids haven't even noticed. Actually no

one has noticed. I'm sure there will be days ahead when those old

feelings will come back, but God continues to strengthen me daily.

Keep up the prayer, God is very real and very active in our lives.

And He loves you- CAROL!! Cool, huh?

Nite,

Cherie

Carol,

Aside from the after effects of anesthesia, being

depressed is normal for many women . . . For some it

comes before explant and some afterwards when they

realize they are going to lose a part of what has

become to be considered part of themselves.

When these thoughts try to crowd in, think of it as a

positive trade off for your health and life. . .

Having boobs, big or otherwise, is simply not worth

giving up your health for!

It's also natural to be angry! . . . But anger is like

acid. It destroys the vessel that holds it! . . .

Please try to find a way to channel your anger into a

productive channel. . . Like stopping the butchers

from ruining the lives of more women!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

Hello ,

Thanks for the kind words, you're right that it will take a while for my

breasts to get to there final resting state; I think I am doing alot better

emotionally today, I am just not focusing on it anymore. I still feel fatigued,

but not as much upper back pain.

I will be okay, and I am looking forward to getting on with my life...

God Bless,

Carol

Hello Cherie,

I thank you for your support and kind words; you are right no one will notice

and I am very grateful to have a supporting husband and two children that love

me. I know God loves me and I often pray to him to reveal to me answers in my

dreams, and he has always come through. If I didn't have faith, I don't think I

would have made it through the pain that the implants had caused me.

God Bless,

Carol
