Embarrassing tummy picture 8 months post-op!

  • Popular Post

Well I say embarrassing but not really. I'm pretty proud of the 90 yr old woman looking belly!! I've been asked a lot about how the stomach looks after losing so much weight....well here's mine. It's not perfect, I never expected it to be so I guess that's why it doesn't bother me to show it. I'm 34, I've had 3 c-sections and 5 wonderful VSG stabbings so to say my body/stomach has been through some trauma is an understatement. It's ok though, when the time comes if I feel I want it fixed then so be it but until then I'm not hiding her from the world anymore. Set goals, strive for excellence but remain realistic and you won't be disappointed. Be proud of what you have/are accomplishing. We can be our own worst critics! PS: There is a C-section roll hiding under those pants, don't be fooled!! :) My pup pup in the background is not impressed but I put him on a diet so...... ;)

I was wanting a Tummy tuck and then I watched it AGAIN on YouTube. Horrifying man, just horrifying! I gotta stop doing that!

my friend had a tummy tuck after a c-section with twins. She said it was the most painful thing she's ever experienced. Also, 10k and 7 years later, she's pregnant. Doh!

You look great! I'm not brave enough to post a tummy pic, but I have a funny little story. I'm on vacation with the fam, as we speak. Yesterday I was getting dressed with a small amount of sunlight coming through the drapes. As I'm standing in front of the mirror in a panty and bra, I say to myself "I don't look half bad! Hell of a lot better than I used to!!" Then my daughter turns on the bathroom light and I say to her "turn that light off, I look better in the dark!!" lmao!!! I can't complain though! I love my flab a whole lot more than I liked my fat!!
