I gots mines at Lane Bryant. I'm pretty sure I was in their biggest size which IIRC is "F". How appropriate.

I haven't worn them in a while. Though I'm sure they'd still fit me.

Random thought: I don't know about y'all but I can't wait to get the point where I don't need a Spanx anymore!...... As a matter of fact any undergarment thats used to hide my rolls' date=' back fat, butt jiggle , tummy, and any other jiggly part of my body..... When that day comes I'm gonna burn them and celebrate!!!!![/quote']

Tell me about it geeish. Spanx and already sweating just to get in them don't mix.I love in a hot state TX. Its hot almost year round. Different events, I attend, I would try 2 make myself skinny.

My sorority takes lots of pictures at different events we attend ...boy do I try to avoid the camera. It seems find me lol. When I see the pics im like dang I look the biggest. My surgery is june 26. I can't wait 2 get in front of the camera.

Our pictures are on Facebook and other things. I use 2 be so embarrassed.

I have these leather pants I had when I was 21. Size 10. Im 32 now. I saved them. Im determine 2 get in those bad boys. I don't care if its 80 degrees.

Best Wish

I have to wear Spanx shorts with skirts and dresses but it's not as much for smoothing things out as it is for preventing "chub rub" aka my thighs rubbing together. I can already tell my excess skin is going to build up on my inner thighs so I will probably always need them. However, I do have some Spanx camis for lifting my boobs and flattening my midsection... those can be thrown on the fire!

I actually prefer wearing them in the heat... I like a layer of protection between my underwear and clothes so there are no sweat marks.

FYI: I prefer regular Shapewear to Spanx. I don't find the actual "Spanx" brand to do much for me. I have old shapewear from Lane Bryant (they don't have much in their own brand now, mostly Spanx) and some new stuff from Avenue and Fashion Bug. (Plus, store brands are cheaper.) They smooth things out much more but aren't any less comfortable than Spanx.

Onestopplus.com or avenue.com carries a tummy/thigh shaper called "easy up, easy down firm thigh slimmer" that is fantastic. I have tried so many over the years that just would not get over my abdomen without tying me in a knot...but this particular shaper goes up like a dream and it keeps everything firm and tight. I bought a few and they are perfect for working out too. It also does not roll up or down, it stays put. It's about $30 but worth every penny!! Comes in black or nude. :D

      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.
