Shapewear For Arms?



Recommended Posts

I have been looking at Shapewear to hold everything in while I shrink -- hoping this will help with the impending saggy skin problem.

Has anyone used any sort of shapewear for the upper arm area? I found these...

...but I'm hoping someone can make a recommendation or speak from experience.

Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

A coworker suggested trying panty hose and cutting the tops of the legs off. I mostly wear 3/4 sleeves so I should be able to hide them easily....think I will try it!

Pantyhose -- that's smart thinkin'! I tend to wear 3/4 and long sleeves, so my wings should be hidden, but I'm kind of thinking I might be able to "train" the skin to not droop all willy-nilly when I start shrinking.

Sometimes simple is the answer panty hose. You can sew them to the sport bras and wear them to work out.

      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.
