I can't wait to get back in the gym and start lifting again... but its going to be at least 8 weeks out.
I've been a member at my Y for about a year now. (I'm five months post-op). There are people of every shape and size in our pools - one of which is a zero depth entry for those who cannot go up and down the steps. I've seen everything from people who look like walking x-rays to those who are very heavy. You know what they have in common - they all joined the Y to get healthier - just like you. When I go to the gym, I'm not looking at other people other than to see if they are working on a piece of equipment I want to use. And they aren't looking at me. Find a bathing suit you are comfortable in -- it maybe one piece, it may be two - like a dress with shorts -- spend the money to find something you feel comfortable in and then dip your toes in the water (pun intended.) You got this!
I wear Under Armour everyday. My favorite is the "Under Armour Men's Tactical HeatGear Compression" At 215 I am wearing a Large. I have these in long sleeve, short, and v-neck.
Another good one is actually at Wally World. Its the Starter brand but in those I actually buy small. They are super inexpensive and work great as well.
Monday-I actually did a yoga routine. 26 whole minutes!
Tuesday-6 mile run
Wednesday-4 mile run
Thursday-6 mile run
Friday-More yoga? Hopefully, but probably maybe.
Saturday-Gonna run the elusive Walmart2Walmart2Walmart2Walmart2Walmart. Should be about 16-17 miles.

When I belonged to the Y one of the things I loved about it was that there were people of literally every age, shape, and size. It was a real revelation after belonging to a 24 hr Fitness that was more like a meat market than a gym. Believe me, as said above, everyone is to worried about themselves to notice you. Once you're in the water no one can really see you anyway. But I totally understand the feelings.

I started the C25k today and I'm just modifying it for myself. I did 7 of the running intervals and I plan to just keep repeating each wee****il I feel ready to move on. I'm using the RunDouble app and it lets me do that. I also like it because it automatically shares to the My Fitness Pal app where I track everything anyway.
