    Me!!!! Not yet, because I just had my csection 11 days ago, but in 4 1/2 more weeks im starting up exercising. :-) This is my second csection and the first healed and looked pretty good, but this time i have a bad feeling. how long has it been since your csection?

    Mine was 21 months ago now! I put on lots of weight when I was pregnant so after my c section my tummy just went awful! I've been slacking on losing weight, hence 21 months later and still not much improvement!

    P.S, Congrats on becoming a mummy (again) :)

    I didn't have a section, but still have the "new mommy" awful tummy flab.. I did require surgery during my birth though so I was out of commission for just as long :S Now I have a lot of weight to lose..

    Me! I hate this "shelf"! Lower ab workouts, particularly sit ups are impossible at this point. I had my 2nd baby 2 months ago. Time to get flat abs yo!

    Feel free to add me, mommies.

    Good luck with it...My kids are 13, 12 and 3...and I gave up and had a tummy tuck last summer to fix my belly from a botched c-section.

    I had a c-section 5-1/2 years ago, but just started getting serious in January. I've lost 38 pounds but having a huge issue with my c-section tummy.

    I have had 2 of them. I'm starting p90 tomorrow. Still have the pooch but it's not nearly as bad as it was. I know it can go away. It will it will just take time... We can all do it :D

    My youngest is almost 18 months old.

    I got all of y'all beat. Had a c-section when I was 15 and when i was 26. Two girls. I am walking around with a kangaroo pouch.

    Best and easiest exercise to do to eliminate and tone that area is with the balance ball. Position it between your feet and push your legs up and down. That area will hurt but continue to do it everyday and it will tone up.

    Also, I learned a trick the other day. Whenever you are sitting down, try to build a muscle contraction in your stomach. Keep doing it for a long time. After while your muscles will learn how to contract on their own. It's like sucking in your belly and pushing it in.

    Me! DS will be 17 months tomorrow. My c-section "ledge" has definitely shrunk, but I am worried how much of it is due to lose skin (DS was 10 lbs 11 oz, so that didn't help!) I still have almost 30 pounds to go, so I am holding out hope it will look a lot better 30 pounds from now!

    I've had two C's! And yes, this flab must die. Has anyone heard of skin brushing to tighten skin?

    I haven't seen many post-baby non-C tummies, are ours harder to lose? I've got this double bubble that just hangs over my scar :-P

    Friend me!

    I had a c-section almost 18 years ago. Even when I was thin, I still had a tummy after the birth. I had been at my highest last December. I have lost 42 pounds since January. My biggest issue is my stomach. I am pretty happy with my legs and arms, my chest I wouldn't care if it was smaller. But, my biggest frustration is my stomach. That is the reason why I am not at my goal weight yet.
    My stomach has shrunk, just not where I want it to be.

    3 C-sections here.. and my kids are 17, 16, and 12. Oddly though, my tummy isn't my biggest gripe! It's my thighs... and I can't blame that on a C-section. :|
    Good luck everyone!!

    Me! My baby will be 4-y-o at the end of September and I have a horrid saggy belly. It's a little smaller now than it was a few months back, but it's still there and I can't help thinking the only way to get completely rid of it is to get it cut off - LOL!

    Feel free to add me. :)

    I am! Had my baby (via c-section) 9 months ago and have such a hard time losing weight and getting rid of the big flubby inner tube around my belly! My belly was tight before pregnancy and is so saggy now, it's really depressing!

    I have had 2 c-sections too!!! You can get that tummy back I did so dont let anyone tell you you cant because you had a c section =)

    My c-section overlap is almost 10 years old. I trained hard after DD #1 but never could lose it. DD#2 is almost 2 and it's still there. >.< Thankfully I had a VBAC with her and not another C-section. I still have 31 lbs to lose. I have a girlfriend who had a C-section 12 years ago and lost a lot of weight (80+ pounds). No saggy tummy for her. She runs marathons now too. So there is hope!

    You can add me too!

    Well, my first CS was 28 years ago, 21 years ago and a 13 year old too !! I can tell you for those just having one....work on it now. The longer you wait the harder it is going to be. I've dropped 25 pounds and it is getting better but don't think I will ever have the flat tummy again.

    I do know drinking lots of water helps the skin be more elastic and rebound. Use a good coconut oil on it too. Helps stretch marks and again helps the skin "bounce" back where it is suppose to be.

    Good luck to All

    I had a c-section with my first baby (my second was a VBAC). The c-section area itself is flawless, but I still have baby tummy from my second.

    Most of all, I'm answering this because I had hernia surgery a couple months ago and I'm trying to strengthen my core again... and lose the pooch I gained (where my incision was).
