Csection

tiffbeckett336

i have had two c sections most recent 3 months ago! I hear that it's hard to lose the weight on your belly due to the scar. Any help or tips?

It's not any harder than it is for anyone else to lose belly fat. Which for most is the last to go. However with the scar, you might need to get to a lower BF% before your happy with the way that area looks. You should consider reading the "So you want a nice stomach" thread (it is at the top of General Diet and Weight loss Section.


Anyway, here's a Nov 2014 to now comparison for you:



I've had 2 c-sections and also had a BMI around 44 after my first c-section. I will probably have loose skin when I get to where I want to be, but that's okay. It's also most likely from being really obese and not the c-section itself.

I think that's why it's taking me so long to commit to losing weight cause I just made that an excuse! But no longer will it be one! This was starting out 3/30/15

My stretch marks are horrible! Give me a sec and I will post a know pic I haven't even taking one since I started two weeks ago

From 3/31 to now

And here is an even older picture of my stomach: April 22, 2013

You gave me hope. Thank you! I've had 3 csections in 5 years, the most recent being 6 months ago. My BMI at delivery was 39.8. I've since dropped almost 37lbs, but don't feel any better about myself.

Thank all of yall for yall encouraging words and stories we can all do this together!

I think it might depend on the type of c-section you had. I will always have a "front butt" because I had a classical c-section (the one that goes from above the belly button to just above the pubic region.)

I'm so glad someone else posted about this. My stomach is HORRID from having 3 c's. Unbelievable what that does to your stomach You ladies inspire me! I don't feel so alone now in this journey.

tiffbeckett336

Your definitely not alone! It was all worth every mark but it's time to get our fit on now!

I have had 3 c's , lost a total of 46lbs using this site and adding some excercise 3 times a week. I can say my stomach has gone down tremedously, but I have a ways to go with toning it up . The pouch is stilll there but much smaller.

Don't just diet , u need to work the abs. I'm in love with t25 workouts very mommy friendly . This was alpha round ( I didn't take a beginning pic. But pot delivery I was over 175. With my tummy hanging to my legs overlapping my girl parts . I was embarrassed wouldn't even take my shirt off in front of my husband. I started this year weighing 167 (im5'0) last weigh in 2weeks ago was 153 (started t25 at 159) . I didn't think I would make progress but the pics don't lie. It takes sweat and tears and determination but it is possible to get ur stomach somewhat back to "normal" . I gained 45 lbs delivered at almost 200lbs .

I have had 4 kids total (2 c-sections 1999, 2009):

Thanks :flowerforyou:

I have had five csections and it looks like your stomach is doing great! Keep up the good work it's paying off! I used a belly bandit after the fourth one and that helped ALOT!!! Anyway, you are doing great! Keep it up!! You can add me as a friend if you want.

Ive had 2 c sections in 2 yrs. Im disgusted at what my stomach has become

dawniemate

You shouldn't be disgusted. ..you have 2 blessings. ...:)

brynnsmom

I had a c-section a little over 4 years ago. No flap here; there's hope. I saw someone mention the Belly Bandit. I have no idea if it really did anything for me, but I used one - actually two, had several sizes - religiously.

MindfulNat

I had 3 c-sections as well ( last one was 5 weeks ago). This is motivating !!

MichelePimentel

Also had a recent c section 7 months ago . This was me at 41 weeks and the. 3 weeks post partum.


Looking for any tips on how to ease back into doing exercises that target the belly.

I've had one c section and my stomach will never look great. One thing I will say is that lifting weights makes a huge difference. Dieting and doing just cardio makes it look deflated and flappy. Lifting weights pulls it in and up and it's firmer.

Ive had 2 csections aswell and i hate the way my stomach looks.. Soo much inspiration here.. I always thort it would always looks like it does but ive been dieting and started 30 day shred 5 days ago and i feel like its more lifted.. Im just hoping it goes flatter
Seeing all these pics makes me want to push it harder so i see some better results.. Well done girls

Kimmymummy1990

This is when i started just over a week ago and from today.. Can anyone see a difference?
