I gots mines at Lane Bryant. I'm pretty sure I was in their biggest size which IIRC is "F". How appropriate.

I haven't worn them in a while. Though I'm sure they'd still fit me.

Random thought: I don't know about y'all but I can't wait to get the point where I don't need a Spanx anymore!...... As a matter of fact any undergarment thats used to hide my rolls' date=' back fat, butt jiggle , tummy, and any other jiggly part of my body..... When that day comes I'm gonna burn them and celebrate!!!!![/quote']

Tell me about it geeish. Spanx and already sweating just to get in them don't mix.I love in a hot state TX. Its hot almost year round. Different events, I attend, I would try 2 make myself skinny.

My sorority takes lots of pictures at different events we attend ...boy do I try to avoid the camera. It seems find me lol. When I see the pics im like dang I look the biggest. My surgery is june 26. I can't wait 2 get in front of the camera.

Our pictures are on Facebook and other things. I use 2 be so embarrassed.

I have these leather pants I had when I was 21. Size 10. Im 32 now. I saved them. Im determine 2 get in those bad boys. I don't care if its 80 degrees.

Best Wish

I have to wear Spanx shorts with skirts and dresses but it's not as much for smoothing things out as it is for preventing "chub rub" aka my thighs rubbing together. I can already tell my excess skin is going to build up on my inner thighs so I will probably always need them. However, I do have some Spanx camis for lifting my boobs and flattening my midsection... those can be thrown on the fire!

I actually prefer wearing them in the heat... I like a layer of protection between my underwear and clothes so there are no sweat marks.

FYI: I prefer regular Shapewear to Spanx. I don't find the actual "Spanx" brand to do much for me. I have old shapewear from Lane Bryant (they don't have much in their own brand now, mostly Spanx) and some new stuff from Avenue and Fashion Bug. (Plus, store brands are cheaper.) They smooth things out much more but aren't any less comfortable than Spanx.

Onestopplus.com or avenue.com carries a tummy/thigh shaper called "easy up, easy down firm thigh slimmer" that is fantastic. I have tried so many over the years that just would not get over my abdomen without tying me in a knot...but this particular shaper goes up like a dream and it keeps everything firm and tight. I bought a few and they are perfect for working out too. It also does not roll up or down, it stays put. It's about $30 but worth every penny!! Comes in black or nude. :D

      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!!
