Totally random Q, but makes sense to me.



Recommended Posts

Sooo...as my screen name implies, I work in the museum business. I often do period interpretation in the fall/winter. I am wondering if having a sleeve will prohibit me wearing a corset under my dresses. I dont know any sleeved history interpreters to ask.

Do any of you have trouble wearing corsets? I wear mine ad tight as what I can stand for the evening so that the clothing falls properly.

Anyone?

Eventually it should not be a problem. Check with Dr. for dates.

I can't quite speak from direct experience, but binders and compression garments are standard fare after the reconstruction (tummy tucks, lower body lifts, etc.) that many of us go through to get rid of the excess skin after all the weight is off, so it seems like a reasonable bet. It sure seems like I'm wearing a corset much of the time!

I wouldnt think it should be an issue once you are fully healed from surgery...there is still life after wls

I own and wear several corsets for sexy time with the boyfriend ;)

Just wait until your internal stitches are healed and you will be good to go

Thank you for asking this question, Museum-Mama! I wear corsets too, as part of my renaissance festival hobby/obsession. I plan to attend at least a couple during August and September, and I lace 'em quite snugly. You got me the answer to a question I hadn't even thought to ask yet--wow, you're good! ;)

      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.
