I have been looking into that body shape wear advertised on this website. Leonisa or something. Has anyone tried these products? How were the results?

I don't know but one thing I am sure of, the people they have modeling the stuff sure as hell don't NEED it.

Sorry, just had to vent :)

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. How about show us how it will actually look and work on one of us at our goal weight at least!

I use whatever I can find on sale, but I really like Fleexes brand for stuff. They have knock-offs at Target and Walmart which are cheaper and probably work just as well. Also you can hit up Ross and TJMaxx for higher end Shapewear at pretty discounted prices. Good luck...I almost always have a fleexes T or cami on under my clothing.

A great way to burn calories and break a sweat :cry_smile: is to put on a pair of Spanx - by the time I get into the under-garment, I need a shower! BTW, buying a size larger or the less control version doesn't work either - at least not for me. Whew! Makes me tired to think about it. Is there another type to slim the butt and thighs that is not a huge effort to put on?

LOL! I hear ya! I have wiggled and struggled into some spanx before. I am drawn to those Leonisa because they offer butt lift styles and options where the butt isnt covered (buttless pants) and therefore won't flatten or diminish my scant booty.

OMG! I thought it was just me being too fat!

I hear ya on the "hurts the ribcage". Plus, if I ever got the thing on I'd never be able to go to the bathroom ALL day! Whomever is in the stall next to me would think I'm wrestling alligators in the loo just trying to put the thing back on.

You know, I am actually bigger around with my body shaper on than off. It's just that I love that smooth way that your clothes hang when you wear one. I hate to see a big girl with a belly roll hanging over the top of her waist band. I'm like get you a body shaper and rein that puppy in gal. Just because you're fat doesn't mean you have to be floppy! I weigh over 300 lbs and have people tell me that I look nice often. Good undergarments, believe it or not, can make all the difference in how you are viewed; as pleasantly plump and voluptuous or as a fat slob.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
