I have been shrinking back through stored clothing, and have recently discovered some pretty camisoles I don't even remember having. I like them enough I ordered a couple of more. I like them because:

  • They are pretty
  • Some are shape-wear, and help hold in the jiggly middle
  • Even if they are not shape wear, the cami keeps me from having to look at the jiggly middle
  • The extra layer is nice to wear, since I am ALWAYS COLD.

Thought someone else might like to give camisoles a try.

And, since this post is about undergarments (yes, I know all camis aren't always "under" garments - but bear with me here) - I am celebrating an NSV about underwear - I dropped another size in briefs! Finally back in 7's. YEA!

Woo hoo!!!! Congratulations on the smaller panties!!! I think camies are sexy! They feel very nice underneath one's clothes. Also, it seems to me they make your tops fall nicer somehow. I stopped wearing them years ago because they tended to ride up... Thanks for your post. You made me think to try some again!

I love these! I love layering clothes, and the extra layer is very nice when I am soo cold! I hate that I actually get cold now. I NEVER used to get cold. I was always the one out in the snow with short sleeves and I was always the one who wanted to turn the air down or the fan on. Definitely not true anymore!

Yep, love the camis too! I find the mid-priced ones (like Flexees NOT the expen$ive Spanx) at Ross and TJMaxx. I keep looking for Spanx but so far none have turned up in the discount stores. I will keep looking though!

Yay on the smaller panties... I wear 7's now too!

Hey,

this is great! The weather here has started to change and I find myself wearing my summer vests underneath my other clothes for extra warmth. They are good to add a layer of colour too!

Great Job!

I do love Cami's too... I also notice they fit a LOT better being smaller. They would always start shifting and riding up, but now they fall nicely. I've got so many it's almost embarrassing... shopping... but that's another topic entirely.

Yayyy SK!! Rock on sister!

First let me say congratulations on the smaller panties. Secondly, I love camis, I too love the extra warmth. I actually need to buy some in a smaller size my old trusted ones are getting too big *sigh* and yay at the same time. I also agree that Ross, Marshall's and TJ Maxx is an excellent place to purchase such items.

Does anyone else have a problem with them digging you in the arm pits?

I like the ones made with spandex, but I swear, even if I let the straps out, they still dig me in the arm pits. I don't know what to do about this!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
