Hello ladies!

So, I'm on the hunt for a new swimsuit and would love some suggestions! I've lost a little over 100 lbs in the past six month so I have some very unflattering excess skin in my upper thighs that I would like to cover. However, I'm relatively young and don't want to be forced to wear the typical mom swimsuit with a skirt.

Any ideas of styles, companies, stores or websites to check out?

Thanks a million!

Try Lands End they go up to 24w and the have swimming shorts and swimming tank tops.

Did you try Lane Bryant or Just My Size catalogs?

Target goes up to a 24w in bathing suits.

At the moment that's all I can think of.

Let your computer do some of the work for you.

I bought some board shorts from JC Penney for the summer. I love them. I have the same issues with my thighs as well, and these shorts cover all that. I don't think I look too "mom"...and I bought a cute top that shows off the work I've done since last summer :) Good luck!

Check out "MiracleSuit"

I just ordered one, and am waiting for it to come.

They are expensive, but I got a brand new one

on E - Bay for a third of the price.

They have a lot of support and look sexy!

I LOVE the Land's End suits because you can get them with a built in bra or underwire. I am busty and when I start losing weight after surgery support is going to be key if I want to keep my boobs up off my belly ;) when I was quite a bit thinner I loved their board shorts with mix and match tops. They also don't shift or ride up. I would also love to know of other places with cute suits with built in bra support. I am planning on stocking up on some cute suits once they start clearancing them so I have some for next winter.

Thanks, ladies! I ended up buying a few suits, shorts and tanks from Land's End. Best part is... They were 40% off!!! Can't wait to hit the pool!

      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.
