Body shapers can cause you to have leakage after a sleeve. Would not recommend. Learned this from a lady in a support group who bought a waist trainer and is now in serious condition in hospital.

Wow - did not hear about the body shaper. I am using tight undershirts and leggings. I think this and my weight training is keeping my skin tight. But... I am still only 1/2 way to goal. Have more to lose :)

My surgeon said it was ok to wear a light shaper. I wear a Spanx to work everyday. I made sure I asked if it was ok. I do make sure it's not too restrictive and it surely not as tight as a waist trainer. It helps with the wiggles, until my skin tightens up.

Love the. Wear them all the time. Just make sure you get one that goes all the way to your breasts. It reduces back rolls and roll downs. And I wear my underwear under them so they stay cleaner and it's more comfortable against my skin. Also, I'd ask whoever said it caused them sleeve leakage if that's what the dr said, or if that's what she assumes. Just to be clear, I really don't know, but that sounds awfully strange.

Waist shapers are an entirely different and extreme deal! They are cinched as tight as one can stand them and could cause serious problems. Shapers are supportive and not extreme. I love my "slip" shapers. They really get rid of rolls and bulges and make me feel wonderful!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
