Spanx or not to Spanx
on 3/10/14 9:17 am
I cannot eat when I wear Spanx. I thought I had them too tight, but went to get fitted by the Spanx rep recently and she said I was in a size too large for me and when she put me in the right size, I could literally only take in liquids. So for now, I do not wear them because I already struggle to get my food in at meal times.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
I wore shapewear everyday pre-plastics. And still wear it when I wear something formal. In my not-so-humble opinion 90% of us who have not had plastics need to be wearing it, especially if wearing something form fitting. Muffin tops are not attractive. A good bra and shapewear can make all the difference in the world.
