Bathing Suits



Recommended Posts

As I'm getting closer to goal and it's beginning to heat up here in Tx, I've been thinking about bathing suits. My boobs have completely deflated so I need a suit that pushes them up and out. Plus one that hides the extra tummy skin. I've been looking at Miracle suits, but many kind of look too old. Does anyone have a better idea where I can look for a good one piece suit? That does all the above plus looks a little sexy and up to date? Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

I wish I could think about a swimming suit! It's snowing here. Puke! Maybe VS will have a nice one?

I got one on swimsuitsforall.com. It's a one piece with some support. They have lots on there, may be worth a look.

The prices are reasonable, too. I wasn't going to pay $75 for one in the store...

I bought a great two piece and one piece swimsuit at Forever 21(plus), then picked up a swimsuit bra to go under the top. The nice is that they are cheap, cute and actually fit very well.I received so many compliments wearing the "bikini", I'm going to need new ones this year as I am getting sleeved next week. Looking forward to smaller cute summer clothes. Btw-I'm 50 and rocked that size 2x bikini!

Find a specialty swimsuit store where you can get a 2 piece, (even one that covers the belly) so you can get a top with good support that really fits. I tried one piece after one piece and couldn't get enough support for the girls. My 2 piece, (looks like a 1 piece) comes in cup sizes and has an underwire to the top really fits. Makes a world of difference!

@@bikrchk, can you give us some brand names or on line stores where we can find the suits you describe? They sound like something I need to know about.

I don't remember the brand. I wouldn't consider purchasing a swimsuit on line as I had to try on suits for 2 hours in the store before finding one that really fit. The specialty store (Swimwear Solutions in Kansas City area) I went to even does alterations if it needs a tweak. I'm sure other cities have similar shops. FYI, it wasn't cheap, but well worth it for me.

Lands End has some very nice suits. I am pre-op and still get mine from Woman Within. I am looking forward to going back to Lands End and to being able to order more than accessories from Swell.

Problem I had is I assumed the really supportive ones would look best...but I have some extra back skin. I looked best in a string bikini top tied ...just right...so no skin overflow. I did have a breast lift so I have independent suspension again...haha.

Anyway I agree with bkrchk - I need to try them on because what I thought would work didnt.

Here in jersey they have stores called "everything but water" and you can buy the top and bottom separate so that you can buy the top by cup size. They have bikinis and the tunic top also.

I bought mine from a company in the UK. I know it's scary, but I have bought lots and have never been disappointed. Once I had to return a bra, but it was because I didn't read the discription. I sent it back with no problem. Belle Lingerie: Womens Lingerie, Big Bras, Plus Size Bras, Bikini

I love Lands End. They have lots of options, including tankinis, separates, long torso.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
