I am so much bigger than you but I finally tried a Spanx and it felt great. everything felt pulled in and firm for a change!! i bought the one that comes up to your bra but it was not uncomfortable at all. also the legs are loose like thin stockings so you did not see a bulging line. i think I looked better too. hope this helps. down 45 in three months, long way to go. peggy

Before surgery I wore them almost everyday. There are so many out there. I have some more expensive that I wear on the weekends and some less restrictive I wear during the weak. I wear the full ones that include the bra, the tank top ones, shorts one that goes up to the bra line.

I would suggest you try a cheap one at first to see how you like it. Try Walmart, then JCPenney and Belk. Also, there are several websites. It just makes you look clean and smooth no matter what size you are.

      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.
