What a catch! Mariah Carey shows off fab figure and bodacious behind in fishnet bodysuit for racy shoot... months after 'gastric sleeve surgery'

In late 2016, she revealed her diet of Norwegian smoked salmon and capers.

And Mariah Carey certainly is still looking like the catch of the day.

The 47-year-old singer looked in absolutely incredible shape in a saucy covershoot for the Spring 2018 issue of V Magazine

Perhaps her sexiest look of all was a fishnet bodysuit as she posed with her bodacious backside toward the camera.

She looked slender as ever as she also sported all black undergarments including a bra, painties, and leather waistband.

Her long blonde locks were worn down into waves flowing over her shoulders as she.

Mariah let her natural looks show by wearing complimentary make-up including smokey eye.

No doubt she is in fantastic shape as late last year fans were shocked when reports emerged that the singer had undergone weight loss surgery.

Since then sources close to the megastar have shed light on how she is recovering from the reported gastric sleeve surgery, saying she is now 'happy'.   

'She's happy with this new chapter in her life,' a source told Entertainment Tonight

They said the decision to lose weight via surgery came after years of dieting by the star: 'She always fluctuates and it makes her upset but it's hard for her to manage.'

Mariah previously lost weight following the Jenny Craig diet plan, after the birth of her twins in 2011.

However, gastric sleeve surgery reduces the amount of food allowed into the stomach, making the patient feel fuller faster so that they consume less.

Before the reported weight loss surgery Mariah was body shamed over her social media posts and photos of herself performing the finale of her Las Vegas residency in July of last year.

The Fantasy hitmaker once again put her fab figure on display in a solid black bodysuit with matching pantyhouse and a fur coat.

In the pages of the magazine, Mariah talked about how she is gearing up for a comeback to music.

The Always Be My Baby hitmaker has not released an album since 2014's Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse but in November she signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation for management.

The mother-of-two said that it's not about the accolades for her but actually about the music as she said:  'In the music business, if you care about the Grammys and submitting your stuff before a certain time frame, you want a single out in the summer, and then you want to have your record [out] before the Grammys [consideration] deadline, which has changed. 

'Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn. I mean, I have five Grammys. That’s cute.'

She goes on to say that there are artists who have twice as many  golden gramophones as her in half the time she has.

Mariah added:  'I won two Grammys the first year I started, but after that, [the Grammys] are like, "We don’t go with the people that are selling a lot of records and are popular; we’re gonna go the opposite way." 

'So I got screwed out of certain years. I wasn’t bitter about it. I was just like, okay, well, I guess I’m not standing here barefoot onstage singing and trying to go a certain way. I’m just me.'
