This seems like a fad. Like going and getting a wrap to make you lose five pounds. I know what they are and what they do- but we just all paid 14000( or I did ) to make a real change and get a tool that is majorly effective. One of my fav things about this surgery to me is that I am not Falling for and spending money on things that more than likely won't be a lasting answer

I agree for some waist training is a fad. Corseting and Faja's have been around and in use for years. Only recent stars have made it a popular fad here in the US. But even if you lose weight, unless it is in your genes, you will not have an hourglass figure. Nothing wrong with someone wanting to grab that sexy look. [emoji4]

Probably better once you reach your goal weight and then if u have excess skin its not really gonna help until u get that removed

What brand of corsets and spandex are you guys using. Where can I purchase? Iv e watched many YouTube videos on waist training and o so t want the extreme but a little help might be something to think about

I've had several friends/coworkers use waist trainers and seen great results. They recommend SwanCoast. You can find them here:

I'll be starting waist training probably at month 3 or 4 post op. ?

Good luck with it! I tried it years ago and it was painful. Very painful. I was already thin with a nice figure so I don't know what the hell I was thinking???

My surgeon was ok with my waist trainer at week 3, So I started with a soft one w/o steel in it then @ week 8 I started with the corset waist trainer! It makes a HUGE difference. I order all my trainers from Amazon message me if u want info. I've purchased @ 4 since surgery do to my rapid lost[emoji8] #EveryWomanLikesHourglassFigure[emoji11]

Www.WhatKatiedid.com

Fashion forward corsets, expensive but this site has a very informative sections to learn all about the corsets and waist training and the bad names the Kardashian’s have given to these lifestyles

I posted on this thread quite a while ago. Honestly, my waistline changed with weight loss not the corsets. looking back it was a waste of money. Your body will look fantastic just with weight loss.

Every single hiit and cardio routine includes abs now. I feel a bit cheated...to me ab work is ab work and I don’t understand why every single cardio routine is including them. They thicken the waist if done every day, and planks and all plank movements are the worst for thickening it up. I like to do my abs 3 maybe 4x a week max and find myself changing exercises for every single routine I’m doing now. When will this trend go away? It’s like trainers can’t think of any more cardio moves so they throw in abs again to fill many minutes of a workout. I just paid top dollar for a new cardio routine dvd and about 60 percent of it is standing or lying abs. I’m improvising again! I just don’t find the boxy thickened waist of excessive planking and overstrained waists attractive. If your going to train the abs like that there should be some back strengthening moves to balance out at the very least.

Don't buy fitness DVDs, find someone you like on YouTube and then follow them. I feel your pain, I got a membership at a nice gym over the summer and the classes were all like this. We have to engage our core for everything we don't need to throw abs into every workout. I also hate that fitness is so 'trendy' like with f**king squats in everything. At one point I think they even made you do squats in yoga. ?

This lady does great workouts, but idk if she has any cardio. You can look around though, she has a ton of videos. This workout below is fantastic and her quarantine butt routine doesn't have squats/legs just glutes... If you're like me you don't need bigger thighs.

Good luck hunting!

My clinic actually gave me a complimentary girdle to wear 15+days post-op for as long as I'd like. Not the same thing as a corset or targeted waist training, but I suppose the idea is the same.
