Can we talk undies?



Recommended Posts

I really don't know what to do here. I wore a new pair of boyfriend jeans yesterday. On a person with no gut I guess they're supposed to sit on your hips. On me I pull them up. My stomach is a mess. I have the apron and I swear when I have a Tummy Tuck I'll go down 2 sizes. I realized yesterday when I bent, 4 inches of granny panty's showed much to my horror.

I'm not sure how to go about this. I do not have the figure at this time for a boy cut. Bikinis and thongs are totally out of the question. I don't know what size to get. I'm in a 9 but I did some evaluating last night and I'm in essence wearing a diaper.

My stomach is a real issue. Any suggestions?

It would be easiest to layer a tank top under your shirt. It will still cover anything (butt crack, granny panties, spanks) if your shirt raises up.

I like those Spanx or encore or any body shaper. ( hint. Put on from bottom. Not over your head). They help hold things in place for me a bit better for years til I saved for a TT

Good luck not dropping your drawers

and yes it happens a lot ????

I like the hipster panties at Walmart made by blissful benefits. They are the No muffin top ones!

I wear Victoria secret underwear. I don't tuck my belly into my underwear. I wear a compression tank to keep everything smooth and in place.

I sucked it up and got some bikinis. Not cute with an overhanging gut, but way preferable to them hanging out of my pants. I also found I have no hips, so I bit the bullet and started buying belts. Got a black one, a brown one, and a really cute one woven in Peru. I never wore belts when I had a muffin top, but now I see why skinny people wear them! :)

I just found some great Shapewear called Yummie. They have great tank tops that give you firm but comfortable support all the way past your hips. They are long enough to cover your bum and lower belly. The compression feels great and helps with a squishy, jiggly belly. The bonus is a smoother silouhette. I bought them in several colors so I never have to be without them. HTHs!

Commando! Haha, but past that, the cami trick was always helpful to me. I didn't tuck it in, but just wore it as a longer shirt over my jeans and then a cute matching top on top of it, but in hindsight, tucking it in also works.

As a note, you will def go down sizes after an abdominoplasty. I started plastics in a 10 and I'm now in a 2-4 largely as a result of skin removal over 8 months.

I wear boy shorts or hipsters by Lane Bryant. Can't wait to get out of that store!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
