Compression/Shapewear... again



Recommended Posts

Since plastics, I don't really need muffin top control but i feel the need to wear tight things around my midsection to support myself for exercise. I also still get some swelling (post plastics issue). Spanx just doesn't cut it, I need something a bit more targeted. Anyway, I am experimenting but decided to order a few things:

Will let you know how they work out, but most curious what others are using. I want to take skiing lessons and feel a real need for something to "hold me together" as I tumble down the mountain. :)

Thank you for posting the websites. I am very early on, but I know I will need some heavy duty control in my stomach area. How often do you wear yours? I see a variety of different answers on this.

Okay, I bought:

http://www.herroom.com/rago-6265-pant-liner.shtml

It was comfy and worked great going skiing. i don't need to hold extra skin anymore, but I am about 11 weeks post plastics and still feel like I need something holding me together. I felt like I could have used a bit more compression, but it was comfortable for stuff where you really need to move. Will use it for horseback riding too.

Just ordered:

http://www.herroom.com/Rago-6269-Mid-Calf-Pant-Liner.shtml

It is supposed to be a firmer compression, so not sure yet,

I returned this item

http://www.herroom.com/felina-7643-essentials-seamless-hidden-wire-bustier-bra.shtml

because my waist actually measured bigger with it on! It has such thick layers of fabric, it defeated the purpose.

CGJ do you think those you just ordered would feel comfortable with our lady parts? I hate it when my jeans are snug in that area. Sorry if TMI. :P

Well, the long pants I bought are very comfy and do not apply undue pressure anywhere. We'll see about the new ones. Thanks for the link - always good to check out new stuff!

Okay, I got the next pair of compression capris from herroom. I like them too.

Model Rago 6265 are very comfy, fairly light /med hold but perfect for wearing skiing or horseback riding or working out under other pants. They actually kind of look like capri pants so I wear black undies under them (they have the split crotch) so I can take ski pants off and jeans on in the parking lot and not feel like an exhibitionist. I would not wear them to the gym without something over them, but at home working out they are fine by themselves.

Model Rago 6269 - much firmer control, fabric is slightly scratchier and it is sheer looking so definately not for changing in public...haha.

I had massive plastics back in Oct, my arms, breasts and thighs are fine, but my lower body lift still feels like it needs support. I just feel better, can't explain it. It also keeps any minor swelling at bay. Anyway, I would recommend 6265 for most purposes and for me for working out, but I like the tighter ones for daily wear better I think.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
