| thank you all for your positive comments. keep going, keep focused.. like i said and have proved - it does work and is worth every day of pre-op diet / operation pain / post op liquid diet/ mushies stage etc.. so keep at it. regarding my body.. yes i have lost a lot of weight, so my body is not that of an18 year old by far, but its not that bad. i have a little bit of loose skin on the arms, but short sleeves soon sort that out. my tummy is probably the worst - a little flabby at the bottom part, but good underwear sorts that out. the top part of my tummy (abs) is actually quite toned. my advice is dont forget these three things (1) excercise from the start - even if its just a very slow 5minute walk. try to do something every day and work your way up as you feel comfortable. at approx 6 months in i was excercising (at home) for 30mins 3 times a week. concentrate on stomach, legs, bums and boobs. (2) moisturise like a mad woman! with oils, creams - anything. this will help your skin stay soft and help with stretch marks, elasticity etc. (3) protein - its sooo important for hair loss prevention, nails and fat burning. get as much as you can manage each day, make it a priority food. dont forget your calcium too -this speeds up your metabolism believe it or not. good luck all of you x x x | |

| OMG OMG OMG! You look SENSATIONAL!
This has really inspired me too - I am at 3mths post op exactly and have lost 20kgs, but can't really 'imagine' what I'll look like with another 10-15kgs gone!
If i end up with collar-bones like your's I'll be one happy chick!!
WELL DONE!
Congratulations!

| Wow mariat!!! Those pics are so inspirational for me. I am day 5 on my aweful pre-op diet and I had lost my confidence and was starting to lose hope. You have boosted me back up. I had started to feel like it wouldn't work for whatever reason, but now I will change my thoughts to knowing that it will. Thank you for sharing your pics with us x | |

| You look amazing, congrats on reaching your goal! Thankyou for sharing your photos. Can I ask, how has your body handled the weight loss, will you be needing any plastic surgery? | |

| Wow, mariat - what a fantastic transformation! You are a very attractive lady, and the weightloss just amplifies that. Well done on reaching your goal and maintaining steadily for 2 months. Thank-you for updating your gallery to inspire us newbies. It really helps! crazy_ma64: Best wishes with your Opti preparation. The hunger should fade soon, and as for your "1/2 cup of muesli and hot milk coffee", these are not so far away - you will be able to enjoy these again very soon. I had my surgery in early January and have been able to eat normal foods since week 4. The hot milk coffee will be doable even earlier than that if you wish! Keep up the good work. MiddleWoman | |

| Hi Mariat, thank you for posting your photos. You are an inspiration to me. I too am 5'3, needing to lose 40 kilos and am just 11 days out from surgery and struggling with the hunger at day 3 of the opti diet. I needed to see these at the moment as I just want my 1/2 cup of muesli and hot milk coffee. hahaha Now I can see and hope that that will be me within the year. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations on attaining and maintaining your wieght loss. I hope I am as successful as you have been. Juls | |
