I like the yoga pants with the fold down top and a t-shirt made from wicking fabric. The fold down part of the yoga pants means that I can wear them longer size-wise... just fold the top part down a little further as you lose weight to keep them from falling off. The shirt made from wicking fabric helps keep you from looking like you've been in a wet t-shirt contest after a good workout! :)

I got most of mine at Walmart and they are relatively cheap, about $14 for the pants and $5 to $7 for the shirts.

Also compression tights, shorts, shirts, etc., help a lot at that stage.

I buy the danskin brand from Walmart for most of my workout clothes. I've tried different types of pants, but I like the yoga style the best. I have some with a drawstring waist, but I don't like the way they fit on my legs.

For shirts, I tend to buy the tank tops with racer backs, and I make sure to get the ones that wick sweat away from you.

Recently, I've bought some different capri style workout pants because of it being summer. Again, I like the ones that are tighter on my legs.

Old Navy compression line is my favorite. Also, a brand called Marika Magic has some tummy-control leggings etc. that I really like.

I hate my jiggle, I hesitate to run because of my jiggle. LOL I really need to kick up the exericise. I need to get my PT back ASAP and get back to the gym. ;)

I was going to say old navy as well. I bought a pair of compression pants from there and even though I'm down 25 pounds since them they are just starting to get loose. I bought a Marika bra (I got lucky and found one at Marshalls for 9.99, the tag said 60!!) it is AWESOME! It doesn't smush your boobs together like most sports bras, it has padding underwire is is awesome. You can even adjust the straps with hooks. I bought a UnderArmour tshirt to wear under my work top for some extra support.

Hi! I like the under armor compression shorts. They work wonders. I purchased them for twenty three bucks on sale at a Big 5.

Target sells Champion brand althletic wear and there is a HUGE selection of active wear.

They have a yoga-ish tank top with built in sports bra (for us with large girls that need to double bag it!) that is also formfitting lycra so it quells the jiggle in the belly.

The prices are good and the clothes are cute.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
