Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[sueoco 509]

Hi all' date=' thought i would drop in and say hi.

Ive been thinking (worrying) bout the loose skin bizzo and was wondering if anyone has tried the compression clothes to help hold it all in while your losing weight?? I know liposuction people (lol) have to wear compression garments to help with the loose skin, anyhoo im gunna give it a go with the haemoroid cream and see if it helps. I am prepared to be a guniea pig <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Lila your getting through this day by day hopefully soon it will be a distant memory.

ok chat soon

Hi Scotty - that has actually crossed my mind too - wonder if any one has tried it? I guess you would have to wear them for the duration of your weight loss which could be a bit of a pain - literal pain if it was around your stomach!

I have read on a few other threads that people swear by the compression suits and the like for saggy skin, and if nothing else it does give you a smoother silhouette! I haven't bought any but intend to at least the the running pants when I loose some more weight and I will need something to hold it all down when I start running again.

Well

Done Kelliv on starting some exercise! Don't feel guilty at all...you know yourself best and if you felt that concentrating on the food side was more important than that was the right decision. I took my girls to the park today and turned play into a circuit training session! They loved it too. I had a trainer for 4 years until this April, so exercise techniques are easy to recall. We had a great time, just doing light exercises like squats, lunges, sumo lunges, push ups, step ups and they did star jumps while I ran lightly on the spot. Plus the 45 mins round trip to the park and I'm pretty happy with today's exercise sesh! Lol.

Sue I would love to see an updated photo of us as your profile picture. I need to update mine too. Have a photo shoot of a property this week, so will ask my photographer to take a few new shots of me while we are there.

Done! My husband and I a couple of weeks ago - we went to the races. I will take a more up to date one soon. I think I have dropped a couple of kilos since this photo but I don't look that different - well maybe I do.....I am not the best judge of that!

It's been a while since I have been on, has been a busy few weeks, my sons birthday, my neices birthday. I am now on a weeks holidays, so hoping to relax a bit.

Wow everyone, your photos are great, such a transformation. Have any of you put them on through your phone or do I have to get on the computer to it. I would live to put up a before and after.

Good luck to to the ones who ate about to get the sleeve.

Lila so good to here from you, hope things are looking better for you.

I just wanted to share, I am 13 weeks post op and have reached 30kgs loss. I have lost 30.4kgs as of this morning. I have only 44 to go to reach my goal, almost half way there.

Aussie girl, that is awesome that you are enjoying your self so much traveling, and your loss is so good. I know my goal is achievable as you have done it.

I hope we can organise another catch up for all of us in Brisbane. Would still love to meet you all.

Hope everyone is well, welcome to the newbies, great work to the sleevers.

Bella - best of luck for today, thoughts are with you

Maybe we need to do a thread here with everyone surgery dates as will all our members now I can't keep up with surgery dates for you all

I had a great NSV yesterday - was looking for something to wear to my brothers for lunch and a swim and seen a netted top of my 12 yr old daughters (size M/L) to wear over my togs. I couldn't believe it when it fit perfectly...I was over the moon that I could fit into her clothes and showed hubby and he was blown away at it also . She said 'mum don't tell anyone you can now wear my clothes haha'

Then had lunch with family and they were saying I'm now the smallest one of them all - THAT WAS GOLD

So I hope everyone is well and ready for the next week ahead xx
