I found a cute tankini at Old Navy, I ordered it (I wore a tankini from them last year, I loved it.. now it's so big on me, you can see right up the shorts).. They only sent me the top. It was new. When I called to tell them I only got the top, he said THEY ARE SOLD OUT OF IT. You can imagine my disappointment. So he said to send it back with a note about them only sending me the top, and get a refund. Then he gave me a 10% discount code.. so I ordered another tankini from them in another pattern.

Came back from vacation on Sunday, and wore my old size 22/24 bathing suit from last summer. Went shopping on Friday because it rained and tried on a size 20, and low and behold, it fit!!:hurray::wink:

The price was right too, at Bealls Outlet in FLA, $29.99 with 20% off, so total with tax was $25.68.:smile:

Got to love a swim suit that looks good and is not expensive. woo hoo

congrats on the lower size too.

I have worn a suit every summer. I didnt care if I thought I looked fat or not. I figure if they didnt like it then dont look. lol

OH and heck if they couldnt tell I was fat in normal clothes then they were just too stupid for me to deal with lol

You know me in a swimsuit last summer is what pushed me to get the band. I was too embarrased to go swimming with my babies because of my weight. I'm down 33 lbs. so far and I know I'm going to have to buy a new suit, but I still dread it. Oh well, we will get there!!

I am gonna order me a bikini this summer...I promised my daughter that I would work my butt off at the gym(Planet fitness) to get into bikin shape by July! I know 55 lbs is alot to loose in 4 months but I can do it and still keep my Vitamins and Protein in me with my protein smoothies and tuna mush! LOL My tuna mush is white tuna whizzed in a food processor and add mayo and a little onion and it is SOOO GOOD! Plus drink a TON of Water...I work out 1 hour a day but gonna step it up to two hours:thumbup:

Even having lost this much weight, I am afraid I'd get arrested for indecent exposure if I were to attempt a bikini!!!! My belly skin would hang over the bottom, and I'd look nekkid....really ugly, saggy nekkid!!!

GO for it!!!

I have a favorite suit. it is a 2 piece. Tankini type. The bottoms is the type that suck the stomach in and the top hang down low enough to not show any skin and I can tuck the top in to the bottoms when I go in the wave pool so the top dosent come over my head lol...happened once.

But I love it. sucks everything in nicely and I buy extra bottoms because they wear out faster.

only 15 dollars for the bottoms. so I have a few pair. I think I will buy some more in smaller sizes in anticipation. lol

OH and the 2 pieces makes it easier to go to the bathroom lol

Bingo! Even at my highest, when Tankinis came out, that's all I wear. I hate hate hate having to go to the bathroom in a 1-piece. I always get the ones that the bottom holds in the gut, that are not bikini cut bottoms.. I like the shorts, that will cover my thighs.. but the tight ones, not the baggy ones.. and then a top that covers the bottom. Old Navy's plus size tankinis are really great! They're not too expensive, they fit great, and the built-in bra has underwire (a MUST for me).

I am so bummed....I just ordered a bathing suit tankini with board shorts size 16 (I am now in 12 or 14 pants) and it is too tight!!! What do I do, return and go for the 18 (UGHHH) or just keep trying to get into it for summer????

I really thought it would be fun and exciting to get a new suit....WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING, BATHING SUITS ARE NEVER FUN!!!!!

Thanks for letting me vent.

I've been looking forever for something. I am terrified of buying something, but I have a huge vacation planned this summer and will need one. I have 2 fat rolls on the top of my inner thigh. It looks like I have a butt in the front..I mean literally, a little butt on my legs.:) But a lot of the skirt swim suits don't cover down far enough to cover that. So I am looking into what I should get, plus I do wear a DD, but I can't wear under wires (they bruise me) and a lot of suits don't give me enough support with out under wires and the girls fall out...:smile2: yeah that happened once...thank god I was in Portugal and going topless is normal. Any way, if any one has any suggestions I'm all for it.

I prefer underwire but have a hard time finding one in DDD:confused2:

      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.
