Swimming shirts/wet suit



Recommended Posts

What are you guys wearing to the beach or pool after you have lost some considerable amount of weight but have not had skin removal and the skin has not tightened.

I lost about a hundred pounds so far, still have a few more to go but I'll be going to Florida in about 6 months and I'll be going to many pools this spring/summer with my newborn. Are there any decent swim wet shirts or wet suits shirts that do a decent job hiding imperfections such as loose skin, still some fat and moobs?

I am not a fan of regular t-shirts because they get so heavy, stretch out and suction to your body. I get wet suits clings to your body but if it hides imperfections then it's worth it. Regular Ts def do not.

What about a rash guard? I always made my son wear one so he didn’t get burned. They are like compressive tees

I third, plus most have SPF to protect your skin, too.

Ditto, rash-guards are what you are looking for.

Thanks I'll look in to them. Does any one have any suggestions on best brands and places to go and try them on?

I wear a swim "shirt". It is short sleeved and it has a nice V neck and singe sides for added style. It isn't tight like a rash guard which I like. I bought mine from Lands End a few years ago.

Old navy has a couple really cute ones this season! Although, it was in the plus section. Not sure where you all are right now.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
