I've had it for about 2 weeks and I really like it so far it, I sweat like crazy in the region I have it on and it's suppose to help burn extra calories around my belly.

Heyyyyy Everybody!!! It's Bri lol incase you forgot lol. It's been forever since I have done an update. I hope everyone is well and healing great. I still do track the progress of people that helped me to make my final decision in this surgery and also those that's been around my review for a while so from time to time to I check to see how their progress is going and everyone seems so happy!!! So that's great.

My life (just in case you were interested lol you can skip if you want haha):
Has been really good and I feel blessed to be where I am today. It's always a journey to get where you are going. I've been traveling, there is a new boyfriend in the picture, started back school and my bday is coming up in a few 2 days #virgonation!!! A lot of things have been going on but that's life it is ever changing and ever growing/evolving. I am happy with my procedure and honestly, I would not change it for the world. I won't be doing anymore (electively, may if I have some kids in the future and need a tummy tuck maybe) lol but I don't regret it one bit hands down one of the best decisions I have made in my almost 25 years of life lol. It feels good to do something for yourself that you totally and completely want just for you. That takes a big risk, a big leap a faith, and a good mindset.

My Body:
Is doing good, i'm healing everyday. At 6 months yes you may still feel some pain. The healing process really does take up to a year remember you just had a major surgery, no matter how light and quick of a procedure they (whoever those actors and doctors that tell you, you will be at the mall the next day lol fyi I was flat on my bottom medicated up) make it seem. Random: Funny story I went to the dermatologist a few days and you know they like you to fill out the intake forms and it ask you have you had any surgeries previously, and I'm like do I write this down lol? How do I write it lol? Would the doctor really care? lol. I was just laughing at myself because usually I would just skip over that little section with a quick n/a. But I just listed it as smart lipo and kept it moving.
Where I feel the pain is in my flanks (sides) and my inner thighs and thats usually if I am squeezed too tight lol. But that's it nothing too too major. I still have so swelling days and days where my abs disappear but it's a work in progress.

Gym:
Ahhhhhh how do I start this section off? lol. Well I am still going to the gym and working out at home but since school started back a few weeks ago I haven't really been going. I am still trying to get back into a routine that will work out best for me that works around my job and school.
The weight lost was really good I finally had gotten down to about 140 lbs. GOALLLLLL!!!!! But I started to notice that my skin started to look a little saggy, my clothes got super big, and the dreadful butt starting to shrink lol. Remember I went from 157/160lbs to 140 lbs. So yeah it was a lot of weight and I really was happy but you have sometimes make alterations and remember you can be super skinny and out of shape. I decided that I wanted to gain about 4 to 5 lbs just to kind of even it out a little and of course I don't want to get too big again so about 145. I did slack for a little bit with my eating habits and I over indulged a lot! I had a trip to NJ in early August and my family is caribbean so it's either you are too skinny or too fat no in-between lol so their mission was to plump me up!!! lol....So getting the extra pounds was not that hard lol. But I needed to get back on track I would often look at my old pics to get me back on track and say never again....Caution to those that are trying to lose weight: have some cheat days!!!!!! It is imperative! I love everything they say is bad for you ice cream, pizza, cakes, candies, doughnuts you name it lol. Eating clean all the time with no little rewards in the middle and you finally get a taste of those goodies will send you overboard lol. I'm in the process of I definitely having to revamp my closet as well lol.
This week of going to the gym I am trying to push my body to new limits and yes it hurts dammit. I want to really tone up and defined so that is now my new goal.

Birth Control:
This seems to be going well so far still 4 months in now. Still definitely monitoring and watching my weight make sure nothing gets out of hand or out of control. I really feel like it was in my head now why I couldn't lose weight before on it lol.

Tri-Luma:
Okay I am going to be super honest with you guys. I ran out of the first tube a few months ago but you guys remember me mentioning how expensive it was $140 a tube. So I just maybe about 2 weeks ago was able to afford another with everything I had going on. Now it does work so I would not purchase it if it did not but I am absolutely ADAMANT about getting these dark marks from going away. So I will definitely keep updating about this.

Scar Control:
Honestly I haven't been doing anything with this either lol. However next week i plan to start these silicone strips and mederma again and I will update the results in a month stay tuned!!!

But yes this is it for now I will update if I maybe have forgotten anything and I will post some bday pictures too in a few days. Well wishes to everyone and Happy Labor Day!!
