C section mamas

I remember us taking about the fat shelf above the incision recently. Just wanted to let you all know that I am now 10.5 weeks postpartum and my shelf disappeared overnight! I've been to sore to workout and I have had a poor diet, but it is gone! Just wanted to let you all know there is hope. It was really upsetting to me and so unflattering and I was scared I was stuck with it. I hope you all are doing well in your recoveries. I am the farthest out of all of us ladies so I feel it's important to let you know that things do eventually get better

    I am EBF and can't seem to lose those last 8... Which is a lot when you're short like me. Walking helps a little, as it's all I have time for and can do it while wearing LO. I really hope to see some mom belly improvement sometime soon :/

    I am 10 weeks PP today and still have it. I also haven't had the best diet and haven't gotten back into exercising. I've always battled weight loss/toning up anyway. I'm great at maintaining but it's hard for me to lose weight. Hopefully it'll go away though.

    Yay! Im 9 weeks pp and  just noticed this week there is less sag! thanks for the ray of hope! cant wait to feel more like my old self!
  • I'm 10 weeks pp on Monday and mine is still here. Seems smaller though so I'm hoping it goes away soon 20 more lbs to lose and I'm exercising more and back to work so I'm moving around more. Good to know there's hope!

  • That's excellent news!  I am a plus sized lady, but really noticed that the fat shelf has been much bigger.  I only gained 10 lbs while pregnant, but haven't lost any of it either...even though my baby weighed 6 lbs 15 oz.  I don't get it, but am glad to hear that there's a possibility of it getting smaller!
  • I'm 10 weeks PP and mine is gone! I'm not exercising (minus a few short walks here and there), but I have been doing weight watchers and it so far has helped me lose 37 pounds!
