It's the ridiculous (in my opinion) fad where women/girls wear tight corsets to have an unnaturally narrow waist. Didn't we learn anything in the 19th century?

Bring on the fainting couches.

I started waist training in my 5th month out from surgery. Your size of corset will change rapidly with weight loss. I'm on my third corset.

It is a body modification. We are all adults this is a choice that may not be for everyone. I like that you train for a few months and you get an hour glass figure. After not having a waist for so long it's a nice change.

I would think from a health stand point it would be a really bad idea. My Dr said that your sleeve is not completely heeled for two - three months.

The garment my daughter gave me is a latex girdle style not corset,she went from xl garment to small size garment in 90 days,so she passed them to me,which in my opinion can only support the stomach. I havr read articles about post op surgical garments,this is the same in comparison. To each his own.

I wore the spandix for the first few weeks after my surgery and it worked wonders for me, but now I am happy with my new look and I don't think this would be for me but nice to know it works for others.

Sounds like you knew the answer before you ask. Sorry you are not getting the answers that you want. But you did ask. Maybe your surgeon would be your best source of advice on this.

@soonergal91go to hourglass.com or ardyss.com,they are most reasonable,you can also just google waist trainers too.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
