Okay...this is kind of random, but thought I'd see if I'm the only one with an issue out there. :)

I started working out this week after losing 60 pounds with no exercise. I still have about 25 to go and the only way I'm going to do it is to get my butt in the gym. What I learned is all this excess skin and flab in my belly area jiggles and bounces and flops. It's actually quite uncomfortable.

Anyone else with this problem? What do you wear? I feel like I won't be comfortable unless I wear a Spanx bodysuit! :unsure::P

I have surgery the 16th and I'm worried about the skin issue. Did they tell you workign out would make it go away? I was scared the only option would be surgery, but haven't researched this end of it much.

Up until recently, I used Spanx. It holds everything down making exercise more comfortable. I had a TT three weeks ago to address the problem permantly and am thrilled with the results. Give spanx a try, I think you will like it.

I know what you mean! Old Navy has a plus size for women on their website and they have some AMAZING yoga capri's and pants. I personally wouldn't want to be wearing Spanx to work out. You may be able to find some yoga pants at Walmart as well. If you decide on old navy, they're in the women's plus section (online) under activewear. They're usually a solid color with a colorful waistband. If you're like me the waistband will never show with a long shirt so the colors on there won't matter. I have 4 pairs and plan on buying more as I lose as well :)

Well I found a solution...Academy has their "generic" brand of Under Armour, I think it's called BCG. They have compression clothes that are very reasonably priced (9.99-14.99). Tight fitting shorts and pants that will hold everything tight. They're not cute on me, but like Papillion said, I covered them up with a loose fitting shirt.

Try Target's C9 line made by champion. Some of it is supportive like UA and it comes in sizes up to XXL.

      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.
