I have a almost 20 month old toddler and I'm looking for support from mom's who had c-sections and have that extra "flub".....

    I've had one... although my daughter is four now. Thanks to MFP I've gotten rid of most of the flub. But you are more than welcome to add me!

    I had one many many years ago. My goal this year is to cut as much of the "flub" as possible by being consistent and then get a tummy tuck (and full mommy makeover) after my daughter graduates. Tummy tuck is going to be a necessity there is excess skin from edema that isn't going to "snap back."

    I've always had a "belly" and then getting pregnant, having a short torso, and carrying a 8lb 4oz kid...I know it will never be flat but I want this extra hanging flab to go away!

    My little girl is 23 months - and these past 3-4 months I've really been working to leaning that out as much as possible... it's so hard but it's slowly coming off...;)

    I have had two c-sections. I give Jillian a lot of the credit for helping me get my flat stomach back. I combined cardio and lifting. I have always enjoyed workout DVD's so that's just what worked for me. Good luck! You can do it!!:)

    I've had 2 c-sections in 2 years. I have a two year old and six month old. I've lost 30 lbs with strength training and lifting heavy 5 times a week. I'm always up for new MFP friends!

    Hi!
    I had a csection 6 years ago and then 2 more kids after that (no csection). It can be done, your stomach can go back to what it looked like prepregnancy it just takes more work and dedication. Good luck :)

    I had one in 2010. Finally really determined to lose the extra weight. I am 15 lbs from my goal, and the belly pouch has gotten much smaller. I carry my weight around my waist, but I am confident now that it will go away with time and work.

    My son is 18 months old, and I have a really bad "flap" that I'm afraid will never go away. I lost 65 pounds on my own with diet and exercise and then when I got pregnant I gained it all back, not to mention I carried a 9 pound baby and had a csection as well. So my stomach is completely different now.

    I had an emergency csection 4 months ago. Trying to get my abs back. I know it's a long road and I'm open for motivational friends!

    I had one in 2007 and it took me exactly one year to lose the baby weight. I gained 70lbs while I was pregnant!

    I had my c-section 2yrs ago, and I'm sloooooowly losing the baby weight (I got the kid who thinks sleep is the enemy, and I do poorly without it). I'm so tired of this flub! I'm hoping to lose the last 25lbs of "baby" by this time next year, then to continue working towards being in the best shape of my life.

    I had mine 7 months ago but I was reallyyyy big before that anyways. She was a tiny baby and I never really looked pregnant or got the effects of the super big belly (added stretch marks and pooch- I had that anyways!) But she did completely obliterate my stomach muscles :( I used to at least have muscle under my flab and now its like a huge bowl of pudding. So gross. She likes to stand on my tummy and bounce which makes me feel EVEN better about my post baby body haha

    I have had 2 c-sec and given birth to 2 LARGE boys. I had to have hernia surgery after my last baby so I decided to get a tummy tuck. The best $ I have ever spent. I am now working on getting the rest of my body back in shape. But the surgery really helped me get me back!!

    I had an emergency c section 17 months ago because my over-due-9pound-12-ounces little boy got stuck. I am currently 5 pound less than I was before I got pregnant :) Thank you calorie deficit.
