28 Year Old Mommy of One 6 Year Old & Mommy Pouch Will NOT Go Away :-( Norcross, GA

Hello all! I won't write much this time. Just coming in with some pics since i have left those of you who were asking for updates hanging & I apologize!! Been goong through some personal things that life threw my way as well as working on self. Also i've been working on making a banging comeback with this new stomach & body of mine!!! Lol still have more ways to go but i see a MAJOR change from my before self to now.

Only problem i have is still with the lower half of my abdomen. It's like it doesn't want to go anywhere!! Ugh! I may just have to get a TT or see if i'm a candidate for a mini TT.

Confession: i have more "cheat" days than i should!!! Smh so guilty! But eating bread & pasta though is a definite NO GO for me. That is truly my enemy i gain so much weight from that. If i will stop the madness with other eating habits i know for a FACT i would have loss more weight than what i already have. I am now at 186! Haven't seen that weight since before i got pregnant back in 2008 lol... I Was 212 or somewhere near there when i got on realself with my 1st post backnin April. I have to get my but in the gym to get much better results & i promise i am!!!

Anyway here are some pics of my journey i hope you ladies & gents enjoy! Any questions feel free to ask. Stay blessed #HappySunday

Good Sunday Evening loves! Just a quick check in. Aome of you have been asking to keep up my updates so as promised here i am!

I only took a couple of photos not too many. My lower abdomen is driving me nuts it's not going in like i want it too :-( i have to keep reminding myself that this procedure takes some time before seeing full results... 3-6 months at that! BUT... I am hopeful & will continue to keep faith in myself that all will go accordingly.

I have completely changed my eating habits i'm so proud of myself (pats back) lol... I cut out carbs completely the first 2 weeks & now i am on an extremely low carb diet. Well, I wouldn't say diet mainly proportion my foods that has carbs in it. I do NOT eat any pasta, nor white rice. Whole grains only. Bread for me in my case is definitely a NO GO it sticks to me so badly. If/whenever i do eat it is 100% whole grain wheat bread once a week. I drink plenty of water once a day & add a few lemon slices in my infuser cup along with cucumber slices for antioxidants.

For those who are looking for healthy DELICIOUS meals that are quick to prepare/make & hearty TASTY snacks i downloaded two free apps. One is called make my plate & the other is called Mealime. Both have been extremely useful & helpful. I made 2 meals so far & several snacks from using them. Make my plate app even list restaurants for u to choose when u are going out to eat & gives you healthy meals to select from at the restaurant! (Sorry to ramble but the apps are AMAZING!) i will share two pics of the meals i made ;-)

Incisions are still visible but closed so no more gauze using for me. I still clean the area using antibacterial soap just to be on the safe side & my regular Olay moisture body wash for the rest of myself.

Anyone have any helpful tips on how to lose lower abdomen?? I began doing 50 scrunches a day (25 morning 25 night) but ummm... Yea i need an alternative lol. Front view of belly looks more flatter than my side view i hate it :-/ But again im still in healing & swollen at the bottom half as it is still slighty hard at the touch. For those inquiring, yes i am still wearing the compression garment. I find it more comfortable to have it on through my work day than without it actually. I don't know if it's due to the surgery but I actually felt slight discomfort when i went to work without it being that my 2 weeks of having to keep it on is up. Either way it's still good to wear afterwards i was told so i will continue to i just don't sleep in it every night anymore. Only wear during the day for up to 10-12 hours

**Weight weigh in: I am now 201! Getting closer to the ones & i am extremely HAPPY!!!!!! (Starting weight was 210) Surgery was about 3 weeks ago.

Pics to see! Have a blessed Sunday evening loves!!

Hey Loves! Just a little update here. I 1st want to say THANK YOU to those of you who are writing me with your appreciation on my updates & sending your congrats my way. I've read them & i am responding back!!
Let me say i am feeling AWESOME! It's like "surgery?... What surgery?" Lol if it weren't for me seeing a difference i would have been in denial that i even went forward with it. That's how healed i am! Lol... It maybe slower results compared to the typical liposuction procedure but that's ok because folks who go through that, their healing process is pure TORTURE.
***Let me also warn everyone upfront that it is said to be that you won't see MAJOR results up until like the 3rd month even up to 6 months. That is a bummer BUT at the same time i still recommend this because it is a HUGE boost in getting you to where you want to be & towards your goal that you want your body to be in. With whatever procedure u decide to get, you should want to put in work & work out/exercise to lose more weight as well as maintain your new weight. I am seeing results now so just imagine what yiu would look like when that 3rd-6 month hits??! Oh huntyy i am waiting & READY! Lol
In case you where wondering, i wash my garment while showering. Before i hop in the shower i throw it in the washer. After i put it in the dryer for about 15 mins (doesn't take long to dry due to material of fabric) This is my relax without the tight fabric (lol) talk about RELIEF!
Ok so signing out but check out some pics i took yesterday. I even took a couple in some high waisted jeans without garment on (i of course put it right back on after the pic must keep on garment for 2 weeks for up to 18-23 hours daily). I'll post a before pic in the same jeans i took last summer & one of me in them yesterday... a before & after comparison basically.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone & keep those questions & other comments coming! I welcome them ;-)
