I'm also looking for some comfortable "underwear" that will support my belly. I have side and back problems due to my weight loss. Something that is affordable would be nice. Thank you. :-)

Can you get a maternity belt or the tummy sleeve at a store like Walmart? I live in a small hick town in the Midwest. Not many local options.

When I had surgery I got a abdominal binder from my doctor. It was a life saver the first two weeks. Check with your doctor's office.

I'm 8 weeks out tomorrow. Will an abdominal binder still help me? I need it to hold my lower stomach (muffin top) up and in.

Does your lower stomach hurt? The binder is pretty bulky. If you are just looking for something to hold you in cause of loose skin I would just use a griddle since it's smooth and cant see under clothes.

It hurts from loose skin hanging. I'm looking for girdle underwear I guess. Lol!

I use kymaro body shapers. You can get them at Walmart or drug stores that sell "as seen on tv" stuff. I like the camis because of the clear thin straps, but I think those you gotta find online (amazon/eBay). I know a lot use Spanx which you can get almost anywhere.

There are tons of options for things to suck your tummy in. It's all a matter of personal preference.

      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.
