Any suggestions on good work out gear?



Recommended Posts

I hope this isn't a repeat from any previous posts but I'm wondering if anyone has found any decent work out gear that would help out with excess skin or just hanging parts? Or to be blunt would help avoid some of the flopping around! I feel like it makes my work outs a lot more uncomfortable wearing super loose clothes but before I spend the money to buy something different I figured I would ask. I just started the beachbody T25 exercise program and there is a lot of jumping involved. Thanks for any advice!!!

I like the Old Navy compression shorts and capris. They keep your jiggly bits super tight, even when running. They are reasonably priced and have sales quite often.

I wear yoga pants and a t shirt. But it's best to wear what ever is most comfortable for you. When you go to the gym you see all sorts of gym wear, but my best advise is what's comfy for you will work best for you!

I like the gear at JC Penny, ditto on tight fitting capri/yoga pants, I usually wear a sports tank with a built in bra, I need the extra support from the regular bra + built in bra. I do prefer pants that come up higher to hold the belly roll in, but they are harder to come by.

I like the workout gear at both JCPenney and Old Navy, but my most important item is my bra: Bali Comfort Revolution Smart Sizes Shaping Wirefree Bra. It's so comfortable yet holds everything where it should. I usually put a regular sports bra on over it for extra support and moisture control when outdoors. I get the "shaping" one with foam cups to give the extra support.

Those jiggly bits need all the help they can get. :lol:

I wear under shirts from academy sports and outdoors. They keep everything nice and snug for all my workouts.

      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.
