    I'm also in search of one but am getting a bit confused as i research. i'm not looking to wear something everyday all day...i'm not concern with rolls...what i am looking is something to work out in and train/reshape by body(mid section). so i'm torn between a c-section garment or a exercise waist slimming belt. my stomach giggles at Spanx.
    i tried the Walmart slimming belt preop and it was too snug. i said i was going to go to sport authority and see what they have.
    any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    It figures my "big" questions always come at or close to 5 on a Friday and I don't want to bother anyone at the surgeon's office if most here say it's not a biggie.
    Not sure if this is a problem.
    In 3 days I start pureed (OMG- cant wait for the ricotta thing!!).
    So I dug out this amazing blender for Protein etc. shakes I bought years ago and whipped up a concoction- vanilla RTD shake, some greek yogurt, ice, pumpkin pie spice, tsp. of Peanut Butter and a 1/4 a banana.< /p>
    It has been (haha- 2 hours later) amazing!
    But... as a was gulping (for some reason liquids go down fine- I know I need to slow my roll) I tasted a piece and realized banana has these tiny pulpy seedy pieces. They were extremely fine and did get pulverized through the blender.
    I had lots of it already.
    The thing that freaks me out is one day this week someone said something about accumulated stuff like that getting stuck in the staple line and causing an infection.
    Do you think I have anything to fear? I've been so "good."
    I read about people going to soft foods almost immediately and can't understand that, however that makes me think if they "made it" doing that-- I'm probably fine???
    Also, I'm not having any liquid restriction so this shake was really a lot --- since I didn't feel a need to stop how did you know when to? Calorie wise I'm still prob. around 500 a day but getting in at least the 70 grams and all liquid- easily.
    Thanks for any knowledge or even if you know a place on here that explains this process a little more fully.
