Compression garments- who wears them??



Recommended Posts

I have heard of folks wearing compression garments (Spanx, Wonder Unders) while wearing regular clothes but how about while exercising?

Im having some very embarrassing problems with extra, hanging skin. It slaps while Im running or doing certain exercises. Not only does it make an audible sound it kind of hurts and rubs. Plus I look just wonderful bouncing/jiggling around.

I do have Nike running tights and Under Armour shorts but it's just not enough. HELP

Am I the only one with this problem? Any suggestions for garments or where to purchase one?

Im about half way through my journey and have another 60 lbs more to lose before thinking about PS.

Thanks

You can fine Spanx at Lane Bryant or Macy's or Nordstrom's. I think they are a little expensive to exercise in. I wear a fitted body briefer everyday (although I don't have flabby skin) I like the smooth line it gives under my clothes. If you're simply going to exercise in them, I suggest some plain ole leggings that are heavy with the spandex

i wear Lipo in a box now. I used to wear Spanx but they are really thin and wear out too fast. Lipo in a box are amazing and smooth everything out and no bumps or bulges. and no slapping:wink_smile:

well worth the money and last so much longer than most Shapewear.< /p>

I got a pair of long leg SKINS. I wear them under my normal work out gear whenever I play sport or exercise. The feel great, prevent chafing and my legs don't get as much of the lactic acid jelly feeling after workouts

      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.
