I can relate, Sensitivity to smell is the worst anyone can have, I get a headache right away, but it's something I learned to live with as it's something that has been with me since I was a child, its weird that I can stand some really strong perfume smells but the whiff of some light ones trigger my headaches.... I have…

1- don't believe everything you see online (Wikipedia is edited by people like me and you and can be easily manipulated by by companies who want you to buy their product whether its full of gluten or gluten free) 2- there is not enough study/ experiments on the issue at hand, and really an experiment done on 90 people is…

I hope your symptoms get better with whatever diet you feel is working for you.

OMG I thought I was the only one who has an allergy to the sun, mine started when I was overseas visiting my parents and I went out in the sun to clean the roof and came back an hour later with an itchy rash where-ever the sun hit me and I itched like crazy used lotions and yogurt "moms idea to cool my itch" then she had…

That's interesting, I googled it and it's mostly water weight, I was also wondering how can you work out your muscles when they are wrapped? Do you feel them contract or are you just focusing on cardio and the sweat is just from that??? Your experience tells me that there is hope with cardio/core training plus healthy…

Thank you forsharing your experience. My gyno was surprised when he saw me wearing it after i had my baby he said it doesnt do anything, so i took it off, and now i regret it, had i kept it on i wouldnt have developed the pocket, on my first one my csection was done by an emergency doctor not my own gyno and she stressed…

oh wow the picture you drew with your last sentence!! Reminded me of my mom when i was a little girl she would look so pretty but once that thing comes off you see flab goign everywhere, but my mom is short 5 inches tall and all her fat translates to tires around the waist, i am quite a bit taller than her and dont have…

Thank you for the reply, I hope it works 20 months post partum

This in not what I meant and have been explaining all day, please go back and read my replies and you will know what I mean. I am well aware of the corset and its dangers have known about them since I was 13 and read my first English novel where the writer emphasized this issue and how it's not healthy for women ;) thank…

Thank you for the reply. I always have the phobia of my skiing sagging way lower than normal because in my third c section I did not take care of my body thinking there is no use since I will not lose weight no matter what (I have hashimoto's disease) now I am just afraid of what happens when I lose weight. I guess only…

I see your point, I do feel my muscles contract when I work them, but I don't feel them when I am standing its a bit hard to explain how i feel them and not feel them, I feel silly just saying it, what I mean is when I am standing up and I suck my tummy in i feel the upper abs but don't feel the lower ones so I don't know…

Congratulations on your baby. I had succeeded during my first two c sections using a workout designed by Teresa tapp, I am not sure if anyone if familiar with her, I saw an article in a magazine about her and a sample work out, I did it for a week and I lost 1.5 inches from my waist in just one week I was sold and I bought…

Thank you all for the responses and valuable advice you are giving me. I still don't feel anyone answered my question though if using something to hold the flab where it's supposed to belong would it help minimize or abolish it like I did after my first two c sections.

**Gasp** While I know what you are saying is true for people who have been overweight for a long period of time, their skin lost elasticity it forgot how to shrink, got way too stretched, yes I understand that the flab lose skin will always be there, I had convinced myself that it's not the case with me :D I want to give…

I am well aware of the dangers of wearing a girdle all the time, it's not a pretty sight two close people to me are like that and I always advice them against it when they remove it you see their belly area is like butter no strength whatsoever. I personally wear the under garment one during my TOM as it helps with the…

I am not concerned with my waist because I know deep inside I have a beautiful waist line, this is what concerns me ending up like this after I lose weight http://thesweatybetties.com/how-can-i-get-rid-of-loose-skin-on-my-belly/ (Not my picture) I do have a pouch over my incision and am worried it will end up like the…

I don't really know if this is related to gluten and dairy elimination, but today was the first time if 5 years that I am exposed to the sun and I don't get a rash! In 2009 I was diagnosed with sensitivity /allergy to the sun, I don't tan I break into a red itchy rach that lasts weeks sometimes a full month until I get a…

That sounds really harsh but its exactly what i mean except not on the waist but the lower belly. Thank you for giving me the term to search i got nowhere using belly binding!

You mean wearing the girdle/ body wrap? I have the hospital grade one from my c-section but there are the ones that look like an under garment. I started using mine this morning, and am just wondering if its worth it, it does help with my posture so that's a plus, I lay on the bed to get my belly to its flattest position…

Yep, a girdle doesn't make anyone lose weight, I am only wondering if it helped with the body shape while losing the healthy way.

>>>> wapan I never believe celebrities, 90% of the time they lie because they are paid by some company! I remember long time ago one actress not sure who but she came advising us to do a diet saying it worked for her, what she didnt't tell us was that she has a personal trainer and works out 4 hours a day. As for Jessica…

>>>>>Cheri I used it before from day one after c sections, this time my baby is 21 months old so so its a bit late that's why I am asking to see if helped while losing weight, not just getting uterus into shap, sorry I wasn't clear before ( I gained about 20 lbs with each my first two pregnancies and lost the weight quick,…

I believe GMO is the cause for many problems on the rise, at least here in USA, I found "forks over knives" a few months ago while flipping through the documentaries on netflix and it all made sense to me, I am in no way a vegetarian, I eat meat and chicken once a week that's all I can tolerate and I never eat fish, so my…

I forgot to add that when I was pregnant I couldn't tolerate anything starchy so my beloved wheat bread was out of the question, same with sweets. And when I am overseas I am constantly eating of our home grown trees no pesticides no chemicals, I did notice this but never knew cheese and wheat were holding me back. My…
