Swimming shirts/wet suit



Recommended Posts

DXL has a Harbor Bay swim shirt? Or maybe they classify it as a athletic tee? Anyways it’s great for a multitude of uses. It’s breathes really well and stays put in the Water. Also a great workout shirt & it dries really quick. It’s worth a look.

Ha - one major reason I got the surgery was watching videos of my brother taking my niece to swimming lessons and wondering what I would do when I had to be shirtless in front of fitter strangers for an hour or two every week.

At present, all of my sagging skin would be covered by board shirts or swim trunks, and I wouldn’t even wear a t-shirt into the pool or hot tub at my heaviest (it gets waterlogged and it just looks ridiculous). The rash guard is a good idea, albeit one that came from women who descended on a Guys Room thread for the five billionth time. I bought a couple on Amazon yesterday and may try them out in the Bahamas next week.

It’s quite hard to see what “room” a conversation is in on the app. They should fix that.

There is a place in california called Corral reef wetsuits, they make a now-wetsuit type shirt that works really well, to well if its warm out, cross between a wetsuit and a rash guard, i have 2 or 3 of them. I also have bought a few off ebay from a company called hardcore, they have a really nice rash guard at a good price, seems the darker colors hide a few things better than a white one.

Any compression shirt should work as well. There are a bunch of Amazon that are superhero prints and are under $20. The one I'm wearing in my avatar would work well for a swim shirt.

      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.
