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!

      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.
