I have lost about 50 pounds and have been going to the gym several times a week. One of the exercises that I have enjoyed and been encouraged to pursue by my personal trainer is jumping rope. I've apparently got a good rhythm and it's an excellent exercise so... The problem lately has been that my belly is flopping around as I jump and has actually been kind of painful at times. Is there anything out there like a sports bra for the belly? I feel silly asking but I don't know if I'll be able to continue with jumping rope/jumping jacks, etc if it's going to be painful like this. Thanks in advance!

Just invest in some tighter workout/yoga pants. The brand called Livi at Lane Bryant is really good and helped with that.

Try Shapewear it will have much more control or a really firm, old school girdle like garment. This would do the trick.

I use Spanx and it works great for that.

I wear shape wear or Spanx when I workout so I don't jiggle and it really helps. It holds everything in nice and tight!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
