Just wanted to post a bathing suit suggestion for all of us that are battling loose skin. The Miracle Suit is very flattering, has lots of choices & a massive amount of spandex (it's seriously like a girdle!). I bought one last year at a yard sale for $1 in a 14 hoping to wear it this summer, I've been wearing it to the Y since November., so I need a new one for the summer. I found Miracle Suits at Marshall's for $35, retail price is $110-$150. I also spotted Spanx Assets bathing suits at Target, & they seriously got the spandex going on!

Many of them have underwire bras to help support the girls as well!

Attaching a picture of my $1 yard sale special! (Not me in the picture! Lol)

Unless it comes in a neck to ankle style it's not going to be on my body

Haha! Me too at this point I will settle for just looking good with clothes on!

I have a very different way of thinking than most people that are overweight or have loose skin. Even at my highest weight I still wore a bikini to public pools and beaches. I've always had the frame of mind that "if you don't like what you see then quit looking at it"! I never let my weight be my "excuse" for not living. I was the one that I'm sure many people looked at and said "she must not have a friend to tell her not to wear that" or "she shouldn't be wearing a bikini with all that going on" BUT I am a sun worshipper and never let anyone's opinion stop me from enjoying the things I wanted to do. I look around me and see that everyone has faults and nobody is perfect. I've yet to see anyone that didn't have their own issues of some sort. I am not without embarrassment or insecurities or inhibitions it's just that I look past them and try my hardest to ignore them. Now that we all have had the VSG and working to try to look physically better it's imperative to work on our minds and thoughts too. GO AHEAD AND PUT THAT BATHINGSUIT ON! You look FABULOUS just the way you are!

EXACTLY! LOL

I am almost 2 years out-- I am lucky with no loose skin-- but still not thrilled about my bod in a bathing suit! Maybe I will be brave and post a pic or 2 after my trip to Florida in the end of may!

I just got this suit from Kohl's. It has "ruching" on the front so it hides my tummy flab (and stretch marks). The little skirt bottom was a separate piece that I loved. It hides more stretch marks and loose upper thigh skin.

This is really cute! I love the little skirts too. That's what I wear with a tankini top.
