Shapewear Benefits

I have been looking into that body shape wear advertised on this website. Leonisa or something. Has anyone tried these products? How were the results?

I don't know but one thing I am sure of, the people they have modeling the stuff sure as hell don't NEED it.

Sorry, just had to vent :)

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. How about show us how it will actually look and work on one of us at our goal weight at least!

:lol: That is so funny and so true!! Just like bare mid-driff gals who show nary a scar yet they are ads for RNY and Sleeve. Pfffttt!:rolleyes:

I use whatever I can find on sale, but I really like Fleexes brand for stuff. They have knock-offs at Target and Walmart which are cheaper and probably work just as well. Also you can hit up Ross and TJMaxx for higher end Shapewear at pretty discounted prices. Good luck...I almost always have a fleexes T or cami on under my clothing.

A great way to burn calories and break a sweat :cry_smile: is to put on a pair of Spanx - by the time I get into the under-garment, I need a shower! BTW, buying a size larger or the less control version doesn't work either - at least not for me. Whew! Makes me tired to think about it. Is there another type to slim the butt and thighs that is not a huge effort to put on?

LOL! I hear ya! I have wiggled and struggled into some spanx before. I am drawn to those Leonisa because they offer butt lift styles and options where the butt isnt covered (buttless pants) and therefore won't flatten or diminish my scant booty.

OMG! I thought it was just me being too fat!

I hear ya on the "hurts the ribcage". Plus, if I ever got the thing on I'd never be able to go to the bathroom ALL day! Whomever is in the stall next to me would think I'm wrestling alligators in the loo just trying to put the thing back on.

You know, I am actually bigger around with my body shaper on than off. It's just that I love that smooth way that your clothes hang when you wear one. I hate to see a big girl with a belly roll hanging over the top of her waist band. I'm like get you a body shaper and rein that puppy in gal. Just because you're fat doesn't mean you have to be floppy! I weigh over 300 lbs and have people tell me that I look nice often. Good undergarments, believe it or not, can make all the difference in how you are viewed; as pleasantly plump and voluptuous or as a fat slob.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
