Shopping at Victoria Secret!

Good morning! OMG, I couldn't believe it. Yesterday, I was shopping and went into Victoria Secret. I looked at bikini and thong underpants!! I would have never thought that I would be looking in there and to actually purchase these items. There were so many cute ones; it's hard to make a final selection without wanting to buy out the entire store. I did purchase 3 pairs - all so cute and in time for Valentine's Day! I had been depressed all day long since I am recuperating from thigh surgery and developed seromas in my thigh. This shopping trip really perked me up and made me one happy camper . Now I am into buying underwear. My collection continues to grow day by day. I also purchased similar items at Sears and even bought a Valentine's Day padded bra with hearts on it in a 34B with matching bikini underpants. All so At 485 pounds I would have never conceived the notion of any of this. Me in a thong, no way! Now, the world is my oyster. I have so much time to make up. Even though I am in my early 50's, I feel like I am in my 20's. I am enjoying this so much. I am feeling sexier day by day I went with a friend that I met from this website. I am so thankful to have met her in person at the annual Walk from Obesity in September and from that time on, our friendship has grown. She has been so supportive during my plastic surgery phase. I will treasure her friendship. I love shopping! I'm going to need more space for my new collection . Just wanted to share some happy moments here. Hugs, Lucy

Thats so cool LUCY!!! I am glad you were able to shop and buy things you never imagined you would be able too!!! TOO cool... i have to say this journey as brought some awesome great new friends that i treasure. SORRY about the seromas...do you mind if i ask what that is??? hugs lisa xoxox

Hi Lisa. Seromas are an accumulation of fluid underneath the skin. It is common after thighplasty. First, it feels like a lump or bump. I developed these 3 weeks post-op in both thighs. My left thigh has resolved. My right thigh, I have 3 of them and the doc started treating them by aspirating the fluid out with a needle. A week ago he opened them up a bit and then on Saturday, he placed iodoform gauze into each one of them, to facilitate drainage. Then I had to pull out an inch of gauze every day. I'm on antibiotics too. My thigh feels like it has a tourniquet on it. I hate the pain and swelling. I think though I maybe turning the corner soon. Going to Victoria's Secret and buying cute and sexy underwear helped get me out of my depression yesterday. It's been 8 weeks since my surgery and 5 weeks with seromas and I am so tired of it. Who would have thought underwear would be such a big mood elevator? LOL.. Thanks for asking. I hope you are doing well! Hugs, Lucy

I soooo know what you mean!! I have been on ebay and at the store buying lingerie like crazy! I have even bought stuff for after the plastics that I would never have worn before! My hubby thinks I am crazy since he doesn't care about the lingerie(you know men, no clothes is cheaper and more fun to them LOL). But I love that I can wear this pretty stuff now. Although you are braver than me with the thongs! I wasn't sure they would be comfortable LOL!! Maybe I will feel differently after the butt lift! I will pray for you about the seromas, hang in there, and keep having fun! Wendy

Hi Wendy! OMG, I can't believe that this was such a spirit booster for me. I've been in the dumps for so long. I've been able to get back on track for almost 2 weeks now and it feels so good. The underwear thing is something new for me and I love it! I do feel like I'm in my 20's and not early 50's. Thanks for your prayers. I am hoping that I am turning the corner on these. I'm massaging my thigh as much as I can. It does feel a bit softer today, so maybe there's hope for me yet! Thanks again! Hugs, Lucy

Ooooooh Lucy!! How exciting!! I haven't had this experience yet, since sagging skin all over my bottom half just makes me sad!! Great fun for you!!! Woo Hoo! Isn't it funny how something like this can make you glow? Have fun, but be good... (But have fun!!!) Blessings, Kerri

Hi Kerri! I plan on having fun with them, but being good! LOL! There is a very naughty lady here just dying to come out and play. Yikes, did I say that? Yup!! This girl has got to have fun, fun and more fun. Life is too short and I wasted so much of it. Oh well, I will try one of my new purchases and wear it for my plastic surgeon appointment tomorrow! Take care, Lucy

ROFLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did it go? LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! I hope he's cute Lucy, You are naughty! Wendy
