I like the yoga pants with the fold down top and a t-shirt made from wicking fabric. The fold down part of the yoga pants means that I can wear them longer size-wise... just fold the top part down a little further as you lose weight to keep them from falling off. The shirt made from wicking fabric helps keep you from looking like you've been in a wet t-shirt contest after a good workout! :)

I got most of mine at Walmart and they are relatively cheap, about $14 for the pants and $5 to $7 for the shirts.

Also compression tights, shorts, shirts, etc., help a lot at that stage.

I buy the danskin brand from Walmart for most of my workout clothes. I've tried different types of pants, but I like the yoga style the best. I have some with a drawstring waist, but I don't like the way they fit on my legs.

For shirts, I tend to buy the tank tops with racer backs, and I make sure to get the ones that wick sweat away from you.

Recently, I've bought some different capri style workout pants because of it being summer. Again, I like the ones that are tighter on my legs.

Old Navy compression line is my favorite. Also, a brand called Marika Magic has some tummy-control leggings etc. that I really like.

I hate my jiggle, I hesitate to run because of my jiggle. LOL I really need to kick up the exericise. I need to get my PT back ASAP and get back to the gym. ;)

I was going to say old navy as well. I bought a pair of compression pants from there and even though I'm down 25 pounds since them they are just starting to get loose. I bought a Marika bra (I got lucky and found one at Marshalls for 9.99, the tag said 60!!) it is AWESOME! It doesn't smush your boobs together like most sports bras, it has padding underwire is is awesome. You can even adjust the straps with hooks. I bought a UnderArmour tshirt to wear under my work top for some extra support.

Hi! I like the under armor compression shorts. They work wonders. I purchased them for twenty three bucks on sale at a Big 5.

Target sells Champion brand althletic wear and there is a HUGE selection of active wear.

They have a yoga-ish tank top with built in sports bra (for us with large girls that need to double bag it!) that is also formfitting lycra so it quells the jiggle in the belly.

The prices are good and the clothes are cute.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
