Bathing Suits Post WLS - I know "first world problems"

[MommyMeghan 92]

Ok folks, who has been able to find a decent bathing suit that you can feel comfortable in? Apparently losing 80+ pounds has not made this process easier, much to my dismay. Has anyone been shopping and found a store that has a decent selection? HELP!

I was sleeved April 20 and love to swim. Since I am super morbidly obese, finding good suits has always been a challenge.

I like the two piece Tankinis from Woman Within. I am wearing a size down from my last-years pre-surgery suit and just ordered another size down so I will be prepared.

I am not yet where I can buy suits at a store. But, when I get small enough, I've always liked Lands End suits. It's been a long time since I've bought one from them so I don't know what they are like lately.

Last summer I felt much like you. I was pissed that after all of that work and so much weight lost, I was still stuck in a suit with a skirt and struggled to find even one. I ended up at Lands End. I loved their selection and their quality.

This summer, I reached my "dream goal" and had my tummy tuck/panni, so it has been a pain free shopping process. In fact I need to stop myself. I've bought my first 2 bikinis and I want more!!! :-)

Thanks! I will check that out. I am a little frustrated but I know I just need to be patient. :-)

I know what you mean though. I've lost 155 pounds and still feel ike I look like crap in a pair of shorts because of what I see as "saggy" inner thigh skin. It's frustrating when you lose weight and still don't feel comfortable in things you thought you would.

I have no shame. I bought 2 fatkinis on sale and love wearing them.
