Hi guys I'm focused in my weightloss journey and really enjoying the changes I'm starting to see. However I wonder what's going to happen with my tummy once I slim down. I have had 2 c sections and understand that the stomach muscles have been cut so does that mean it was never be flat completely? It would really help to get some knowledge from those that have had cesareans in the past. Maybe some photos of how your tummies look now with weightloss would be extremely helpful.

    I've had a c section and I would consider my stomach relatively flat. I have a little pooch on my lower stomach but think it's cute.
    Here's my before and after.

    The picture on the right you can see my scar right above my swim suit bottoms. It looks like a small scar, but they took an almost 10 pound baby from there.

    I've had 2 sections too, but I'm still too fat to tell what will happen. Thank you brave ladies for sharing your pics. You look fabulous.

    Hey!!!! You look great hun!!! Thanks for the reply I'm 5"5 and started out at 224 so think I may be likely to look more like you once my weightloss journey ends. The plank photo is really helpful because from your other pics you can't really tell how much loose skin there is. The little extra skin on the bottom is sort of what I expect to see as I know my belly won't just shrink back like nothing happened.

    Thank you sooooooo much ladies you both look fabulous xx

    I had 3 c-sections, with 3 large babies. So lots of skin stretching, my tummy will never be flat. I now have a lot of excess skin on my tummy. For me, surgery will unfortunately be the only option I have to get rid of it.

    You look awesome! Thank you for the plank picture. My stomach looks similar in plank and I'm so self conscious about it. It's good to see that it doesn't look bad.
