Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Gretchy, I think we've all been there...I had to call s Secret and tell them to take me off their mailing list. I really hadn't been much of a customer before, but once the implants were gone, I didn't see the need to get the magazines anymore. I have bought a few things from them, but not much since explant. It's okay to cry. But get it all out and then move on...look forward, don't look back!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 i bought lots of stuff there before implants. i never even got to get a bra with implants i only had them a few weeks. now i dont even know what size i wear and i dont work or see anyone anyways. its so hard... im 26.. these should be the fun care free days for me. i actually am a little less foggy today but my memory is shot - i cant do chores i get so confused. i want to go back to work so bad... im the type who needs work and business to be sane. so im going crazy and cry and cry and my boyfriend is over it. > my victorias secret catalog and $10 gift card came in the mail. i > still have my $50 card i asked for at Christmas to get new bras for my > implants.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 You can still use your gift card. After explant, I went to 's Secret first when I decided it was time to get new bras. I found the first girl I saw with a tape measure and told her the whole story. She measured me...36A. Yuck, with implants I was 36C. As I gave her the speal about the implants making me sick, she told me she knew of a couple of girls that either had them or was thinking about getting them, and she would pass on the knowledge. Anyway, she gave me a sample box of everything in my size. I tried on everyone, it was very odd, seeing I had just spent six years not having to try on bras, I had "cookie cutter boobs." I could just pick out a 36C size bra and walk out without trying it on and I knew it would fit. On my trip, I found two bras that made me look pretty good and was quite comfortable with the new scars on my breasts. I spent $50 easy that day. I have bought a couple more since then. It is amazing how bras have changed since before I was implanted. Gretchen, my dear, you have gone through a devestating situation, give yourself time to heal, in the meantime it might be a good idea to not let yourself look at things that make you spiral in this depressed manor. That is what I did. I had to make a concious effort to stay away from visual triggers and to stay focused on my healing. You are a strong woman you will make it through this.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 i had cookie cutter 34C before implants. then i did fitness competitions and was 34AA. Never got a bra but I was around a D.. for 5 weeks.. and never went out and my boyfriend never even really saw them. Now I cant work, I am still having memory loss and some brain fog and I feel like I need Zoloft. > my victorias secret catalog and $10 gift card came in the mail. i > still have my $50 card i asked for at Christmas to get new bras for my > implants.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi Gretchen, If it makes you feel any better, I was not able to wear the cute or sexy bras when I had my implants. I had to wear basic, seamless bras. If I wore the sexy, lacy pretty bras...you could totally tell I had fake boobs as it made sort of a double bubble in my shirt. They wouldn't naturally hug my boobs. So, I am looking forward to wearing lacy, sexy bras when I have my natural breasts back (even if they are an A cup). Keep resting to get better. Take care of yourself and please go and talk to a therapist to help you through the depression if possible. Take care, Lynn > > my victorias secret catalog and $10 gift card came in the > mail. i > > still have my $50 card i asked for at Christmas to get new bras for my > > implants.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Gretchen it is NOT dumb to have all these feelings ! ! It is perfectly normal for what you have been through. They are real feelings and it is ok. I am so sorry that you feel so bad, and you are having a hard time dealing with your thoughts and emotions, that makes it extra hard. Just know we are here for you, and say what ever you need to get it out. Well, you have the gift certifictes, go buy yourself something sexy. Try on tons of things til you find something you really like, one that makes you feel beautiful, sexy, and confident. You have that inside you, it is there, you just need to enjoy the times you feel good, which will come more often once you get on a good detox and get your thyroid in order. I have found myself going into depression many times during this last 17 years of silicone illness. It happens, but after going through it a few times, I hated feeling that way so bad that I had to find a way to let myself be upset for a reasonable amount of time, then turn on the music, and do something to make me laugh. It was up from there, til the next down time. You may think about going to see someone. Always know we all are here for you anytime..........Hugs and prayers..........D AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at AOL.com.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 It's alright, Gretchen. I remember looking at those catalogs before I got implants thinking that'll be me soon, and then once I got the blasted boobs I felt sick just looking at those same catalogs. Also, you're assuming the girls in the pictures are healthy - but it's possible some of the implanted ones are sick and aren't sure why.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Actually Gretchy, I'm looking forward to wearing nice bras after explant. I may end up with sweatsocks but it's better than having basketball-boobs.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Girl, I hear that! I cannot wait to get rid of my basketball boobs!! I have been trying to hide them for so long now. You will never catch me in a form fitting or light coloured top.... I am looking forward to buying pretty A or B cup bras and have vowed not to spend one more cent on bras until I get these implants removed! So I am left with my old ratty tattered undergarments until that time comes! It makes me push harder to take care of the situation.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Gretchen, When I looked in my boyfriend's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, I was so sad because it was so obvious that many of the models had implants and I felt horrible to think that maybe they were sick and had to suck it up because they were being paid to be beautiful. Now when I look at women with implants, I no longer envy them, in fact my heart goes out to them!! I have tried to find something to be grateful about in regards to this whole ordeal and this is what I have come up with: 1) Getting implants has allowed me accept my body as it is, and realize that optimum health is my primary goal. I now know that I am not a sum of my parts. I am not my bra size, my dress size or the shape of my thighs; I am a good person who is worthy of good things and unconditional love....Having the implants taught me that. 2) I have been forced to pay attention to my health and learn to listen to what my body is telling me. I have learned about nutrition and how to take care of my self physically and spiritually. Being sick from implants has helped me learn to nuture myself. I try to remind myself of these things I have learned from this experience when I am particularily frustrated or feel particularily rotten. You are perfect just as you are Gretchen! I hope that you will continue to make progress in your healing. Katy:)TM McIntosh <prowlermeow@...> wrote: Actually Gretchy, I'm looking forward to wearing nicebras after explant.
