Well here's another one good for a laugh. I was pretty fit during my school years and I danced and I was thin and my chest was soo small. So one day I wanted to impress a boy and wore a Water bra to make them look a bit bigger. Well it actually started to leak during our conversation!! So embarrassing lol. Well last night I went out country dancing and of course my bra didn't fit and I used the little padding thing with the liquid in it that I've had since my wedding ( they just don't make wedding dresses for girls w small boobies ) anyhow the whole night I was so worried that I would leak or one would fall out lol I was totally traumatized from my high school experience:)

Lmao. Sorry to laugh but you really had me cracking up. Ill share one with u too. In high school I was already a 38dd. All I wanted was to be like my friends. It wasn't working. I tried underwire bras and they popped out all over. The wires showed in the front on the sides. It was horrible. I sat at a high-school football game literally ripping the underwire out of my bra. My friends were cracking up. I swore underwire out if my life forever. Now that I've lost some weight and started drooping. I decided I needed new bras. So I got fitted and tried everything on. I decided on an underwire. The night before my cousins engagement party -to which I was gonna wear it for the first time - I woke up in a sweat from a dream that the underwire was poking me all over again and there I sat in my fancy dress pulling out the wires in the middle of this party. Oh the things that haunt us.

You should think about the gel inserts to be safe.

Btw I love my surgery and wouldn't change a thing:) just didn't anticipate missing them so much!

I know how you feel. We talked about it earlier in some posts. I was a 44DDD and now I am wearing a 40D. It is a huge change especially trying on clothes and I don't fill the tops out like before, no cleavage. Everything has to be pushed up and out! But, it's a problem I am happy to have because the surgery was the best thing I've ever done for me!

My neighbor just called and said he is having a party today. Excited to see some good friends. One I have seen since I was down only 10 lbs. Wonder if she will recognize me! LOL! Have a great weekend all!

Hope it was fun,Dori! Did she recognize you?

Missed all of y'all today..I'm such a junkie here I've had a rather busy day and 2 more just like it left to go. I missed checking in on everyone.

In FL we have "tax free weekend" where it's basically a savings for back to school buying. Thought I'd be in the clear waiting to go after work tonight as Fri was nearly over and the weekend is usually the worst..oh no..craziness! Thank God I just have one kiddo and my step kids do theirs with their mom. If anyone ever watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and remember her ramming the car yelling Tawanda..that's about what I felt like doing with my buggy

hoping since clothes are included as a savings I might can pick up a few things for me to wear this weekend.

Try shopping for 7

Was discharged yesterday.I either have atypical Migraines, which they are treating with gabapentin (yuck), or all this is as a result of my bypass, which I had in 2000, being blocked....I see a vascular specialist at a the university hospital where I originally had the bypass Tuesday...my graft is 70% occluded...not good. I insisted on going back to the Medical College ...I was done with the hospital for now. The food situation at the hospital was terrible...finally just brought in my own Protein. Ah well.

Glad you are home! Hope you get some answers when you see the specialist and get this all straightened out! Take care of yourself! Im on gabapentin too for my back. I was up to 2 capsules 3 times a day and I didnt like it. Was constantly tired and so groggy. I weaned myself back down to 1 capsule 3 times a day. Still feel like I cant focus properly at times. This is part of the reason I dont work.
