Fantastic! You look like a different person! I was sleeved 2 months before you and still 15lbs till goal ... I'm finding the weight loss has really slowed now! Grrrr. Anyways you look great - not flabby at all as you mentioned, and you cant even see your scars at all!

You're beautiful! Keep up the great work

No not always. Only if you experience attacks that become frequent. My doc said its 50/50 with WLS patients. If not then no point in fixing something that isnt broken + there are some possible nasty side effects from having it removed.

Aim for 1000 cal, lots of protein, up the water and keep up the exercise

I waited 6-7 weeks. Had 2 glasses of wine over 8 hours. No difference to pre-op apart from I just sipped. Now 7 months out I can drink like before, except I do very rarely due to the fact I need to drink A LOT to feel anything, not worth the cals!

I think there is a few factors re: loose skin. Age, genetics, how long you have been overweight/obese, where you carried your weight, exercise, and rate of loss. The use of tightening lotions could prob be argued also. I'm only 26, I've yo-yo'd my whole life, I was fat all over, and I worked out with a PT from 2 months out and will continue to till I get my body fat % right down. I'm still at 34%. I also used tightening lotions day and night. Nothing special I did, just lucky I guess - and also women are designed to stretch and have babies!

Are you tracking what you are eating? How many cals per day?

42kgs is awesome! How many kgs do you have left till you are within the normal BMI range?

You had ONE hersheys kiss ... you should be patting yourself on the back for showing restraint and having just ONE! If you feel bad walk out to your letterbox and back; you'd have burned it off by then

No hair loss 7 months out but I do have thick hair

7 months out soon and always dizzy too when I get out of bed especially or stand up quickly - really weird!

Did you get anything else done? Your arms ... breasts, everything looks awesome!!

My inspiration! Looking fab - if I was you I would wear my bikini to the supermarket! Haha

You look amazing and please keep us updated with your progress throughout your pregnancy!

Whilst I wont include a bikini before pic I will attach one a month before my surgery. I can't stand to look at this photo now.

I do ... quite often actually. Everything in moderation right? Nearly @ goal too. Just make sure you track it

Most nights in my heated pool and spa

Hey fellow sleevers, down 93lbs with 15 more lbs to go. Am 6 months out - no complications except a dodgey gallbladder that I refuse to get taken out! No hair loss, no stalls, and minimal lose skin so far. Attached is a cheesy bikini pic that I was going to save to compare to my one year when I have abs of steel and a killer tan to match - but what the hell. I was really curious to see others post weight loss to see scaring and lose skin etc but they are really hard to find! So heres mine! Please note that this is post c-section of a 9lb baby 11 months ago! If any are brave enough to share theirs please do - I need inspiration! [ATTACH]12849[/ATTACH]
