Adorable. Now please reassure me that no Spanx or tube socks were harmed in the making of this at home casual photo? :) Cuz you still look very slim and svelte and no pooch to me. :)

Ok, pix of the Spanx style you have. I've tried so many time to buy them, but it's like "Advanced" work for me and my eyes end up crossed and I get stalled with indecision about which is the correct version! :D

And the foobs are still fine, but I still use the padding that came with my sports bras from Big Lots. They are perfect little bra stuffers to make you look full and fab! :D

These are my faux Spanx. I've tried about a dozen different types and brands of shapeware, and this is by far my fave. I wear a Medium

No spanx or sock stuffed bra at home or running errands and such 😁. You can't see my pooch because my leggings are high waisted and tight, and I'm standing straight, practicing my best posture!

Definitely a medium :) I downsized from a L to M at about 150 or so. They will both fit you, but the M will hold you in tighter.

Just got out my measuring tape, I have a 28" waist & 38" hips. I'm not sure if I'm measuring my waist right though, the 28" is at my narrowest point. I'm high waisted, so it's right under my rib cage basically. :unsure:

I have 2 each of the short and long leg lengths of these. They aren't technically high waisted, but I seem to have long-ish torso, so they end up high waisted on me....so if you are long torso-ed too, bonus! They don't so much squeeze you in (which makes them super comfortable to wear all day long), but more smooths everything out so you don't see panty-lines or little flab bumps. And they are relatively cheap :)

Spanx do wonders for my loose skin. My mid-section is an issue. My waist measurements are very different when I wear them. From 29-inch waist to a 26. (gives you the idea of how much skin I have) My clothing fits so much better when I have Shapewear on. (my last photo is spanx off)

I'm not sure where the "precise" point is on the waist. I also go for the smallest area. :) And it is right under my last ribs! :) I used to measure at my belly button, but it made me too depressed. ;) hehe.

And btw, I can see the major difference that one inch makes in your proportions. :D 🍾:780_sparkling_heart: Congrats girlie!

Whoa! Amazing!!!

Ok, so what's the best color then? Do I need black and nude? Or black and white? Or only nude?

That's your dysmorphia vision kicking in 😳 😘 :) I guarantee you if we wore the same outfit no one could tell which of us had the smaller waist!

I have both nude and black, I wear both.

I also have a broad rib cage, which makes me appear curvier. I still wear a 38 bra :blush:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
