Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

Ok hubby and I just recently joined the gym. I have been trying to do some light jogging, but I get really emabarrassed because I have hanging skin on my stomach and it flops and makes a noise when I am jogging. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do to help, are there compression garments that can help until I can try to get a Tummy Tuck to remove excess skin? Thanks for your help.

I have a pair of compression shorts and wished they came in a full body suit! haha!

They are really great! I have the shorts type however they do make the ones that are as long as capri pants as well!

I bought them for the same reason...I started jogging...starting week 5 today!

They make a world of difference!

Good luck!

There are neoprene shorts you can buy that, not only hold it all in, but they make you sweat more which softens the skin in that area and can assist in shrinking it. Since I have been wearing them for a few months I can def see a difference. I think one brand is called Hot Pants. I just ordered some generic ones off Amazon for $17 and they work just as well.

I like Under Armor compression shorts and pants. They are pricey but worth it. I have also learned that if you wear two pair of socks, (the kind that have extra support on the bottom) this will help you when starting out. It helps with the joints, or mine it does.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
