Flexees are really nice. They smooth and hold in without feeling restricted. The key is to buy the correct size.

Girdles (and bras) are like space heaters duct taped to your body.

Bali makes a really nice, supportive pair of under ware. They are cotton with an extra panel on the front. They make a huge difference. They are supportive without being restrictive. I buy them at Kohls. They are like 2 pair for $25. I am a fan.

I found a pair of Spanx type high waisted underwear in a size too big really really helped without being too tight or uncomfortable.

Any problem with rolling waistbands or legs that ride up?

I bought a few pairs of compression yoga pants. Both Old Navy and Lane Bryants sell them for a reasonable price. They are high waisted and really comfortable. I also have a pair of no name high waited body shaper panty like things. I think the higher waist helps keep them from rolling.

@@Miss Mac, I don't find that the Flexees roll but only when it's the right size. All of them roll when they're too small.

      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.
