bathing suits that cover hanging skin



Recommended Posts

Hi Friends, I have lost about 50lbs. I am struggling with how my arms and legs look. I did know that things would start to sag. It really is bothering me. I am very self conscious about this. I have a "beach weekend" planned with the girls next month. Do any of you have a website where I can buy a bathing suit that covers some of this???

What exactly are you looking to cover? If it's arms then get a surfing suit which is long sleeved. If it's legs then you can get a swim dress.

Swim dress or skirt. Not sure how you would hide the arms but I do know many people now wear those scuba type shirts/tees to swim in to better cover their bodies from the sun as seen in these pics at the link........

Wow! I didn't even know a swim shirt exsisted! My eyes have been opened. 👀 I've bought from WW before but never even looked at swimsuits.

And that was just one place off the top of my head. I know there are other sites who sell them too. Other stores be it plus or otherwise. Good luck!!

I have a swim shirt and I love it because I burn super easy on my shoulders and chest and it's the ultimate sun screen. Mine is like the swimtee mentioned above. I've never seen the jacket ones!

Something else I really like....is body make up. I get Sally Hansen airbrush leg makeup. I use it on my legs and my arms and shoulders. It makes me look tan without being orange, and provides a lot of coverage for scars, old stretchmarks, weird skin areas like the underside of upper arms...lol You can swim in it for about an hour without it coming off. You scrub it off at the end of the day with soap....it is not an artificial tanner product, so it won't leave you with weird dirty looking knees and ankles. The color looks tremendously natural. I love it.

I also like the "slimsuit" brand of swim suits....they have more support built in to kinda sculpt me into the best lines possible.

I went the swim shirt & shorts route. I’m very fair so the more sun protection the better for me.

Another site to check out is junoactive.com

It's more costly than WW but higher quality. I've found WW swim wear to be low quality material that was quite thin and wore out quickly.

      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!
