Questions for Alcohol Drinkers ONLY!
I waited 3 months No complications I am a social drinker, I drink fruity cocktails or vodka with orange juice no major issues ... I do feel I get drunk faster and sober faster if that makes sense .. If I've eaten and drink it doesn't affect me if I haven't eaten then I feel it ... I can't drink the way I used too but if I space it out I can get in quite a few no issues

Hair Loss
I hate this topic cuz there is no solution ... I'm losing hair all the time and a lot at once it started from month 2 onwards I chopped it all off I take my Vitamins and am using nioxin too I don't know when re growth will start but everyone has started to notice how thin my hairdressers are always telling me wow ur hair is getting and thinner if I sweat or wash my hair it's even more obvious it's the most depressing thing ever That being said I would go thru it again to have the weightloss but it's defo very hard

Week 6: May 27-31st Sleevers
I wish I had measured at the start ... I didn't at all and so when I go thru a stall I don't have much to go on in terms of if inches are coming off ... I am someone who has had a sugar issue from the start as most of you know ... I try and control it but it's there ... It's def a tool this sleeve and not the solution I have to be verymindful of what I am eating Another issue I have as me is that when ppl tell me oh you lost weight I seem to think that means oh yay now I can eat crap again hahahaha I wore shorts to the beach yesterday for the first time in maybe 6 years so that was An amazing Nsv! I hate how flabby my thighs and bum are that's really something I need to work on exercise wise

"I thought you did this yourself." ...?
Someone said the same to me recently they said oh you did it that way ... I said yes but I'm still careful and I still exercise and I still make a point of using the stairs not the elevator and it's a still a battle and I still need to be mindful of what I eat so it's not easy it's just an 'assistant'

Week 6: May 27-31st Sleevers
It's sooo nice to see everyone's updates!!! Love reading how we are all doing I can't believe we are almost 2 months in !!! It's flown byyyy You are all aware of my sugar addiction every day is a battle for me and everyday I try and stop myself I will weigh myself on the 1st morn that exactly 2 months for me (sleeved 31st) I would hopefully have lost something of significance I have been exercising so my body is changinging I used to wear a size 14 us (18 uk) but think I actually should've been a 16/20 because it was soooooo toght on me which is why I can still wear most if it now... I want to go back to significant drops like the first month hehehehhe
