Spanx anyone?



Recommended Posts

Ladies, once completelly healed I would like to start wearing a little something to hold it all in as I hopefully shrink away. I looked at the Spanx website but they were very pricey does anyone have any suggestions?

You don't need to pay that much for a comfortable shaper. I got a great one at Wally World believe it or not, and saw some at Ross for cheap. Mostly I shop at Kohls and pay in the $25 range.

Never looked but you know Walmart has a cheaper priced alternative for just about every item under the sun! Worth a try.

There are also some cheap Spanx at Target. I have to say, though, the Spanx I got at Lane Bryant is pretty heavy duty, much more so than the Target ones. But, I can't imagine wearing that every day and still breathing :-) So, my guess is that the Target ones (or whatever knockoffs) are just as good for every day use...

If you go online, Macy's always has great sales, and a wide variety of prices. They have LOTS of body shapers.

I want something to wear on my head and face though, LOL!! ! Don't want to end up with a sagging face and chin. I am planning to wrap my face in warm washclothes and massage natural oils intio it, and my chin, and then also get some Retinol.

Any other suggestions?

I have gotten some great shapers at Ross for around the $10 range.. some really pretty ones too! Mostly for the high waist and long line thigh type. I bought some other tops from on line...the kind you see advertised on TV some times, has a long body that pulls over your hips then a solid back and straps over the shoulders and your boobs are left to fend for themselves in your bra...out front...? That one is kind of expensive, but you can find a little better deal on Ebay...

      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!
