(I am sure this has been discussed but the search function never works for me <_<)

I am wanting to start wearing a compression top, maybe even leggings? does any one have any advice on what kind/where to buy?

I don't really want a top that squishes "the girls" too much, but I want everything else compressed. I'm tryingto avoid too much sag.... I'm not even sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

I can't answer your garment question, but I can help with the search function.

Go to the search bar and type in COMPRESSION. Now, to the right of the search box is a real faint teeny tiny arrow that points downward. Hit that, and you will see a drop-down menu. The first option is TOPICS. I hit that and got one result, which was your post. The second option is FORUMS. When I hit that one, I got 1,000 results.

Just make sure when you search that you have the FORUMS option open. You will get much better results.

I don't wear compression garments as I found them snug years ago. I do however wear a cami under my shirts which is tucked in and helps smooth things out. I've also found that wearing thicker tights under my dresses does a great job of sucking in the thigh flab/loose skin.

I have a pair of leggings from Kohls that have a compression band that nearly reaches my boobs. I love them and they are very comfortable and they really smooth me out. They are near the lingerie section, not mixed with the regular clothes.

They make compression wear that lets you wear your own bra.It gives you a extra lift in the bust. I will send you a link when I get home.

Target has a compression cami/bra in one that I love. Been using them for a while and post surgery came in handy. It has a built in bra

      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.
