I need some retail therapy!



Recommended Posts

corset place is having a big sale. I want something that would look nice under a jacket or something.... I have a quirky sense of style but have to be a bit careful to not get overly sexy looking. I am not a shy dresser.... I at times think I border on tacky but it comes from a lifetime of ugly mom jeans and fleece... ain't gonna do it!

Since plastics, I have found that my boobs get more attention than is always appropriate..haha. I don't want them popping out the top so to speak so finding the "right" one is important. I don't really need something to hold my gut in as I am reasonably lump free - though not perfect!

Anyway ladies, do some window shopping with me.... I measure about 39-40 breast and around 29-30" waist so I cant figure out what size fits but I emailed them.. Last corset I bought was labelled "medium" but isn't big enough. Well, maybe if I had 3 handmaidens to lace me in... but i don't!

Oh, and I am cheap, i am not paying $57 for that awesome steampunk "waist pack" although it would be awesome for going dancing!

Hmmmm - I like the Volumina: Brown Satin Shoulder Straps Corset or the Juliet: Green and Black Brocade Overbust Corset. The Lady: Long Silver Brocade Pattern Corset looks like it would too long and uncomfortable if you sit. What color jacket are you wearing with it?

How in the name of heaven do you get into and out of those things by yourself. I could suffocate before hubby got me unlaced!

They have industrial strength hooks that go down the front.... they work really well if you get the right size.

Right now I just have a black jacket, but open to other color ideas - this will be a winter "going out" look

As an aside, I love corsets and steampunk. I did my best steampunk costume a couple halloweens ago. Sadly, I am at work and won't be able to click on the link right now (I mean, I probably could, but I try not to look at lingerie while at work). But I will give my opinion when I get home!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
