Okay...this is kind of random, but thought I'd see if I'm the only one with an issue out there. :)

I started working out this week after losing 60 pounds with no exercise. I still have about 25 to go and the only way I'm going to do it is to get my butt in the gym. What I learned is all this excess skin and flab in my belly area jiggles and bounces and flops. It's actually quite uncomfortable.

Anyone else with this problem? What do you wear? I feel like I won't be comfortable unless I wear a Spanx bodysuit! :unsure::P

I have surgery the 16th and I'm worried about the skin issue. Did they tell you workign out would make it go away? I was scared the only option would be surgery, but haven't researched this end of it much.

Up until recently, I used Spanx. It holds everything down making exercise more comfortable. I had a TT three weeks ago to address the problem permantly and am thrilled with the results. Give spanx a try, I think you will like it.

I know what you mean! Old Navy has a plus size for women on their website and they have some AMAZING yoga capri's and pants. I personally wouldn't want to be wearing Spanx to work out. You may be able to find some yoga pants at Walmart as well. If you decide on old navy, they're in the women's plus section (online) under activewear. They're usually a solid color with a colorful waistband. If you're like me the waistband will never show with a long shirt so the colors on there won't matter. I have 4 pairs and plan on buying more as I lose as well :)

Well I found a solution...Academy has their "generic" brand of Under Armour, I think it's called BCG. They have compression clothes that are very reasonably priced (9.99-14.99). Tight fitting shorts and pants that will hold everything tight. They're not cute on me, but like Papillion said, I covered them up with a loose fitting shirt.

Try Target's C9 line made by champion. Some of it is supportive like UA and it comes in sizes up to XXL.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
