Swimsuits.....my least favorite thing



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions where to get a cute suit? We leave for Florida for 2 weeks in about 5 weeks. Do I buy a suit at the size I wear now? A size smaller? Any suggestions on where to get one? I am about 198# and I am 5' 6"

You don't say where you are located but, good luck finding one! My two suggestions would be

Wait till you get to FL or try someplace like LL Bean catalog.

if you get something like this:

BeanSport Halter Top, Stripe: Swimwear at L.L.Bean

you can kinda get away with the size not being exactly right

I LOVE Lands End's suits. I recently bought a few in hopes that one would work out, but they all do! I am actually having a hard time deciding which one to send back.:w00t:

They have an "Overstock" section that has suits at pretty reduced prices. They have a Grecian suit that is gorgeous and fits beautifully. Women's All-over Control Solid Grecian V-neck Slender Swimsuit from Lands' End

(Click on the clearance priced colors for $59 price)

Also, you can get free shipping through today only with code:

SEPT1 and pin code: 00001145

Have fun on your trip!!!

Oh, yeah- about the size. I currently wear a 22/24 and I bought a size 18. It fits great with room to shrink.

Good luck!

Dillards in Fl just put their suits on sale at 70% off!!! I bought a $134 Miraclesuit for ~$40!!!! I feel like a million bucks in it! A 16 would have been perfect but I got a 14 & it fits well.

We have winter coats where the swimsuits used to be up here in the great white north!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
