So I am losing most of my weight from my middle as of yet and now I have rolls in the top of my stomach too it's like all my fats gone soft lol

does anyone know a shaper that will just cover my stomach - I don't want one with legs or one that goes over the shoulders? (so maybe hips to ribs like an old fashioned corset type) ? I couldn't find any when I went shopping

I have cut some Spanx in the past. Cut the legs off (can create undies) and tuck the top into my bra, like normal. Otherwise you could cut the bottoms off completely but you may need to sew some thing on the bottom (rubber stripping) so it will stay down. I haven't seen anything commercial. That is one thing I will be excited about when I reach goal - maybe I won't need to wear spanx EVERY day. Ugh...they are hot in the summer but at least I don't get a rash from my legs rubbing together....the joys of being fat.

I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I bought some "fat free dressing" camis. They don't have the shaper in the boob area, so you wear your bra - the shaping is down the waist and lower tummy too. It isn't super tight like a corset, but it smooths out the worst of the lumps! I find them comfy too.

I've been looking at girdles and Shapewear for after I'm sleeved and for the stomach area, I've been looking at postpartum girdles. It's worth a look... http://www.bellefit.com/

Fleexies

They make an old fashioned "girdle" just for the middle.

You can get them at any JCPenny, Macys, Target, Sears, etc....

Make your tummy flat and without bluges.

      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.
