Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.

Post surgery...are you MORE comfortable in a bathing suit, or LESS comfortable in a bathing suit?

For me...less. Sagging skins makes me feel less comfortable, but I invest in some cute cover ups so no big deal.

Still won't go shirtless because of the saggy man-boobs

More comfortable. I think I just don't care that much any more. And a one piece covers up most of what bothers me.

MUCH more comfortable now..  I look like the wrinkled skinny old guy instead of the fat old guy.  I don't mind showing off my "shrinkles" one bit - kinda PROUD of them!!

And I can take the heat at the beach MUCH better!!

I am more comfortable... and I don't care that much anymore. I am enjoying the swimming and the sun too much to care alot right now. Smiley

large or small I've always been a swimmer. While I'm in the water I rarely think about it. Now that said I still have problems finding suits that have support but are made for swimming in (no underwires or such). I think I solved that this summer by getting a quick drying sports bra to match my suit to wear under for the support the top needs and the coverage I want. Once out of the water I pull on shorts and there you go.

It sounds silly but I guess I will never feel comfortable on a bathing suit. My exercise of choice is swimming, I’m also doing synchronize swimming, so I just try not to think about it no more.
Inside I know it looks better than before, even with the shrinkles, tights and big upper legs.
