I'm throwing away my granny panties! (and other panty victories)



Recommended Posts

Well...I haven't yet mustered up the courage to go into a Victoria Secrets, but I did buy myself some cute new lil panties! Wow! What a great feeling! And the other panty victory....before my surgery in November after I dried off from my shower, I would always have to hold onto the bathroom counter as I stuck one leg and then the other leg into the legs of my panties. For the past three days I have been able to put on my panties without holding onto anything! I can't believe how much easier I can MOVE and how much better I can BALANCE. Hope this motivates people who are thinking about this surgery or who have just started. Tiny things like I have described are life changing and liberating!!!

Congratulations, those are great NSV! I noticed yesterday I can run up and down the steps to the basement with no problems, and it made me realize the same thing. It's wonderful to be able to move so much easier, and it is life changing and liberating!

Congrats!

When you do step into Victoria's Secret, be prepared for a shock! Bras & Panties are way more expensive then I remember. $62.00 for a bra?? But, they look darn sexy & need something now that the old ones don't fit!

Stock up during the semi annual sale. I got lucky cause I am in an uncommon size and found a Ton of cheap stuff.

Do you know what Victorias secret is? It's that they don't carry anything over a size 4! Even after losing over 100 lbs and getting into a size 8, I still couldn't find anything in there that fit me!

Yeah for getting rid of the granny panties! used to buy the 6 pack of Hanes Her Way at Walmart (cotton briefs). No more. I buy the single panties (luv boy shorts the most) at Penneys or Khols (usually I'll hit a sale like 5 for $20). They're more expensive that the 6 pack at Walmart, but they make you feel so much better about yourself!

Hmmm I wear a size 7 in panties and VS carries them in the store I shop at anyway. Maybe check online? Cause they have great sales sometimes!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
