Adventures in shapers

This is a freaking riot... but I have to ask, now that everybody knows that you step INTO Shapewear and peel it off like a banana - down, not over your head - is it going any better? LOL

YES! You have single-handedly saved many of us from having to play Twister while dressing. Thank you!

I bought a lovely dress to wear to work, but whilst it looked good I had a problem with the low south searching belly that has shrunk somewhat but could not be hidden in the dress. I bought some suck it in pants that go from your knees to under boob (probably not that long for normal height, but I'm only 5ft). I looked fabulous if I do say so. First meeting of the day went well, I was standing and speaking all good, even complements on how I looked. Second meeting not so good I was sitting at a computer running the system on a big screen for someone else's presentation. About 1/2 through I had this horrible feeling of my belly being pushed up to my boobs, started to sweat and having trouble breathing, I took a drink of Water which would not go down. I quickly slinked out of the room and almost ran to the loo, I have never been so pleased to get clothing off and breath. I made it back to the meeting, with my low belly and hid it behind my laptop while saying goodbye to everyone as they walked out. Note to self test these things out for sitting and standing, and the next dress I buy will have a twist or ruffles to hide the evil over hang.

CGJ I gave up on herroom for Shapewear, as they never have the industrial strength stuff I require, love to get my bras there though, they sell British brands that you can't get in the States and for some reason the Brits know their bras.

I have tried the high pants and the tank top type and they always roll at the waist. I haven't tried lately and I probably wouldn't invest in the body suit type until I get to goal because I guess I will just shrink out of it and they are so expensive! I think if I could get my panni (not panini, iPad) under control I would lose two pants sizes. I really hope the panni will continue to deflate and will just be empty skin at some point.

I bought the pant liner from her room. I love it..very firm support. I have different purpose though which is making me feel held together especially during exercise,skiing,riding etc. and prevent swelling (post plastics issues). The extra benefit is that they make my thighs trimmer. The problem with the pant liner is they are not high waist so would have given me a muffin top pre plastics.

What bra models are good?

      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!!
