Uncomfortable in my own skin



Recommended Posts

As the weight starts to come off and my skin gets looser, I really do feel uncomfortable in my own skin. Recent surgery and 41# down. Excersise going ok. getting on the treadmill and even jogging for a little bit :) Just now everything jiggles and feels like I'm wearing a baggy suit of skin. That's the only way I can describe it. Skin doesn;t look all loose but it really does feel like I have a baggy suit on. Anyone have any suggestions for body suits/ compression garments. Not just for slimmer looks, but to keep the jiggle factor down. ;P sounds silly, but that's how I feel. Any suggestions appreciated :)

There is a brand called "Spanx". They are ultra comfortable, and have several different styles to choose from.

      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.
