Bathing suit shopping success! (pic)



Recommended Posts

We are heading to FL in May to visit family and when we are there we live outside by their pool or at the beach. So I knew I needed a new bathing suit. So I started shopping in April. Ordering a bunch off of Lane Bryant, Avenue and Lands End. I also bought one top at Target.

Well I found a top and bottom and that will work for me. The top I got at Target and is a size 20, and the bottoms (my favorite part) is a size 18 and has an extra piece that goes up to right below my bustline to help hold in my tummy area is from Lands End. I feel pretty good in it and I really like the way it feels. Covers what needs to be covered (my belly and upper thighs) but still looks cute. I have a lot of returning to do but I am just glad to have found a suit!! :)

I don't think I look fantastic but I feel comfortable and for the size I am now I'm pretty happy with how it looks!!

Thanks so much everyone! :)

Lands End carries two skirts with a higher waist and I saw they have a regular swim bottom with the higher waist. The one I have with the little slit on it is a perfect length for me at 5'4". The other skirted one was a teeny bit longer.

I love the pattern on the top.

I was so happy when tankinis became a thing!

Thanks again Everyone! Just to not be dreading putting on a swimsuit is an amazing feeling. :)

I got the top at Target!! They had quite a few cute ones. I was so surprised it had enough support in the top. I had been looking at Lane Bryant swim tops cause a lot of them come with a built in bra to help hold my ladies up. But I was so happy to be able to get this one at Target since I splurged and got the bottoms at Lands End. Kept my bathing suit purchase under $100!! Woo Hoo!! Which is great since it won't fit me next year!

      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?

      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.
