Curious how long you waited before wearing shape-wear. I want to begin wearing as soon as possible.

What kind? I have wanted to find some that breathe. I used to have some that were made out of a mesh type of material. It breathed so nicely, I never sweat!

I love the Under-the-bra shaper tanks. I didn't wear one for 2 weeks, until after my steri-strips started to loosen and start coming off.

I had to take the strips off! Come of find it in allergic to them and they made my skin boil. :( but as for shaper I to like the under the bra kind! I don't want anything tight but something breathable and hold my belly

I actually wore a post-surgical garment (very similar to a girdle) about 48 hours after the surgery was done. It really helped support my stomach and ease the discomfort.

Once I have the procedure, I plan to wear shape wear asap and use skin firming lotion. Gonna try to get it right and tight without TT, which which I'm willing to do only if needed. I kind of don't think I will need one.

      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.
