Spanx anyone?



Recommended Posts

Ladies, once completelly healed I would like to start wearing a little something to hold it all in as I hopefully shrink away. I looked at the Spanx website but they were very pricey does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't need to pay that much for a comfortable shaper. I got a great one at Wally World believe it or not, and saw some at Ross for cheap. Mostly I shop at Kohls and pay in the $25 range.

Never looked but you know Walmart has a cheaper priced alternative for just about every item under the sun! Worth a try.

There are also some cheap Spanx at Target. I have to say, though, the Spanx I got at Lane Bryant is pretty heavy duty, much more so than the Target ones. But, I can't imagine wearing that every day and still breathing :-) So, my guess is that the Target ones (or whatever knockoffs) are just as good for every day use...

If you go online, Macy's always has great sales, and a wide variety of prices. They have LOTS of body shapers.

I want something to wear on my head and face though, LOL!! ! Don't want to end up with a sagging face and chin. I am planning to wrap my face in warm washclothes and massage natural oils intio it, and my chin, and then also get some Retinol.

Any other suggestions?

I have gotten some great shapers at Ross for around the $10 range.. some really pretty ones too! Mostly for the high waist and long line thigh type. I bought some other tops from on line...the kind you see advertised on TV some times, has a long body that pulls over your hips then a solid back and straps over the shoulders and your boobs are left to fend for themselves in your bra...out front...? That one is kind of expensive, but you can find a little better deal on Ebay...

      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.
