Hi guys. So some of my pants are getting too loose. Yahoo! But to keep my wardrobe costs reasonable I am wondering if I could belt some. The problem is normal belt digs into my incision when I sit down. Has anyone seen an elastic style belt that would hold my pants up but not be so rigid when I sit or squat? I tried Amazon but the one kind they had didn't have very good reviews.

I used some pretty scarfs/sashes and tied them off. Looked nice and very soft. I'd check out thrift stores for those or belts that might work for cheap.

I saw tons of elastic belts on Amazon with high ratings tho?

Maybe I was looking under the wrong thing. The one plus size I saw said came undone when you sat or bent over.

How about a maternity/pregnancy band like women wear when they outgrow their pants. Gives a layered look if seen under your shirt and comes in different colors. It looks like a tube top for your waist/belly area.

I sometimes steal my son's dapper snappers. It's an elastic strap with snaps that goes through a couple of your belt loops. On him, it goes through the three loops in the back. On me, I do it through two loops. It adds just enough cinching power to keep up my pants without the annoyance of a belt.

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

      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! 😞
