Sucking it in

I haven’t seen anything recent, but has anyone found a really nice pair of spanx or compression anything? I’m trying to look good in some jeans. I’ve lost 95 pounds so far, but my stomach is just .. all there. What has worked for you?

    Yes, this! My jeans and leggings do an amazing job of holding me in. I use compression garments under dresses only when things look a little jiggly

  • TONS of compression on Amazon, you can buy compression items at Wal-mart, Target, pretty much all of the bigger department stores. Just remember to buy 1 size smaller than you typically wear.

Have you tried an abdominal waist trainer? I've started using that to help "shape" me and it seems to be helping my belly bulge as well.

otherwise, I will sometimes (often) buy 1 or 2 size smaller cotton cami's - I think the tighter / smaller sizes do very much the same as spanx and a lot less expensive.

Can you share what waist trainer you are using?

The white one covers the entire torso. I bought this after wls

The black corset I have in black and nude and is just a little shorter in the waist. I've had this for quite a while..

I can't honestly tell you which I like better... I alter day to day. Screenshot_20181001-175457.jpegScreenshot_20181001-175545.jpeg

So glad I came across this post. I'm having sleeve surgery tomorrow and I just ordered a bunch of stuff and added waist trainer to the list. Thank you! Thank you!

I’ve been wearing old navy compression pants since before my weight loss and am finally realizing I need a smaller pair. I love them! You’d think my closet looked like Doug Funnie’s. I wanna get a nice pair of jeans but I don’t want all the loose skin just chilling in the pouch of the pants. So maybe like a pair of spanx to flatten it a little.

I had the binder since surgery but haven’t worn it since.

I’ll have to definitely check out the waist trainer.

Thanks everybody for your feedback.

Kimtriesrny, do you have a brand you like for jeans?
