Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

Ok hubby and I just recently joined the gym. I have been trying to do some light jogging, but I get really emabarrassed because I have hanging skin on my stomach and it flops and makes a noise when I am jogging. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to help, are there compression garments that can help until I can try to get a Tummy Tuck to remove excess skin? Thanks for your help.

I have a pair of compression shorts and wished they came in a full body suit! haha!

They are really great! I have the shorts type however they do make the ones that are as long as capri pants as well!

I bought them for the same reason...I started jogging...starting week 5 today!

They make a world of difference!

Good luck!

There are neoprene shorts you can buy that, not only hold it all in, but they make you sweat more which softens the skin in that area and can assist in shrinking it. Since I have been wearing them for a few months I can def see a difference. I think one brand is called Hot Pants. I just ordered some generic ones off Amazon for $17 and they work just as well.

I like Under Armor compression shorts and pants. They are pricey but worth it. I have also learned that if you wear two pair of socks, (the kind that have extra support on the bottom) this will help you when starting out. It helps with the joints, or mine it does.

      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.
