Swimsuit Blues



Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies,

Any suggestions for one piece swimsuit for all the post weight-loss loosey goosey skin and droop? Really want something supportive to hold me all together! I'm overseas & need to order online, & don't have the advantage of trying suits on. What has worked for you? Thanks in advance for your suggestions! I'm eager to hit the beach for some fitness swims!

Lands end has a great two peice - they have skirted and non skirted bottoms that go up over your tummy almost like Spanx and hold things in a little, you can pair with a tankini of your choice and they have underwires

The classic Speedo racerback is very supportive and made for hard core swimmers. Also, you might want to look into a "rashguard", which is a fancy word for a surfer shirt- it's got long sleeves (sun protection!) and it's made for spending all day in the Water.

Also, HydroChic makes awesome modest swimwear that is pretty high quality:

Miraclesuits are always good to camoflauge and suck you in - they usually have a high spandex content for maximum shaping. Lands End also have a good selection of one and two piece suits.

      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.
