Adorable. Now please reassure me that no Spanx or tube socks were harmed in the making of this at home casual photo? :) Cuz you still look very slim and svelte and no pooch to me. :)

Ok, pix of the Spanx style you have. I've tried so many time to buy them, but it's like "Advanced" work for me and my eyes end up crossed and I get stalled with indecision about which is the correct version! :D

And the foobs are still fine, but I still use the padding that came with my sports bras from Big Lots. They are perfect little bra stuffers to make you look full and fab! :D

These are my faux Spanx. I've tried about a dozen different types and brands of shapeware, and this is by far my fave. I wear a Medium

No spanx or sock stuffed bra at home or running errands and such 😁. You can't see my pooch because my leggings are high waisted and tight, and I'm standing straight, practicing my best posture!

Definitely a medium :) I downsized from a L to M at about 150 or so. They will both fit you, but the M will hold you in tighter.

Just got out my measuring tape, I have a 28" waist & 38" hips. I'm not sure if I'm measuring my waist right though, the 28" is at my narrowest point. I'm high waisted, so it's right under my rib cage basically. :unsure:

I have 2 each of the short and long leg lengths of these. They aren't technically high waisted, but I seem to have long-ish torso, so they end up high waisted on me....so if you are long torso-ed too, bonus! They don't so much squeeze you in (which makes them super comfortable to wear all day long), but more smooths everything out so you don't see panty-lines or little flab bumps. And they are relatively cheap :)

Spanx do wonders for my loose skin. My mid-section is an issue. My waist measurements are very different when I wear them. From 29-inch waist to a 26. (gives you the idea of how much skin I have) My clothing fits so much better when I have Shapewear on. (my last photo is spanx off)

I'm not sure where the "precise" point is on the waist. I also go for the smallest area. :) And it is right under my last ribs! :) I used to measure at my belly button, but it made me too depressed. ;) hehe.

And btw, I can see the major difference that one inch makes in your proportions. :D 🍾:780_sparkling_heart: Congrats girlie!

Whoa! Amazing!!!

Ok, so what's the best color then? Do I need black and nude? Or black and white? Or only nude?

That's your dysmorphia vision kicking in 😳 😘 :) I guarantee you if we wore the same outfit no one could tell which of us had the smaller waist!

I have both nude and black, I wear both.

I also have a broad rib cage, which makes me appear curvier. I still wear a 38 bra :blush:

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
