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.

      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.
