What's Your Favorite Shapewear Brand?



Recommended Posts

At 11 months out, I am very near to goal. There is no way plastics is anywhere in my near future, and I have a ton of loose tummy skin. What's everyone's favorite brand and how good is the control?

I am a Spanx only girl now. I have tried so many different brands and none were as comfortable or stayed in place as well as Spanx. My suggestion though is to order it on ebay-brand new. WAY cheaper than anywhere else.

I'm not sure what the brand is but I got mine at JCPenny. I absolutely love wearing them. I know they make me look a full size smaller and I just feel so much "firmer" in them. Maybe I got lucky but I have had no issue with them rolling up or shifting. In fact, they were on sale at a very good price and I only wish I had purchased each size they had.

I talked a friend into trying the entire Shapewear stuff and she now loves them. A lot of people think they will be tight and uncomfortable but I love them. Even after I have plastic (also about 2 years off for me) I might still wear them. They just make me feel good.

I dont know if anyone lives near a Gabriel Brothers, but sometimes they get Spanx for CHEAP! like 10 bucks! I got a ton from there, i hope they have it in my size after i start losing weight. (Gabriels is kinda like a Marshalls but some of their clothes is "irregular" you have to go through it) I get Lane Bryant jeans for 8 dollars!

Flexees...you can buy them at Kohl's, Target, etc. but the cheapest I've seen them is at Ross. I keep buying more because I started in 2x and now I need L, hopefully M someday so I don't like to spend too much!wink.png

      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.
