Atkins after C-section

[courtney_00]

I had a c-section about 5 months ago. And of course I have this nasty saggy bag (as i call it, its the flap of skin your stomache turns into after a csection).
I was wondering if any woman who have had csections themselves have been able to get rid of it.
Im only 21 and I do not want to live the rest of my life like this.
It just adds to the low self esteem from being overweight.
And i would rather not resort to a tummy tuck/lipo. But if i have to i eventually will.

Re: Atkins after C-section

I just wanted to tell you that I know where you are coming from. I had 2 c sections. Before I had my kids I was never thin but I was healthy and did not have that ugly pouch, that I hate now. I have thought about this too. I am not sure if it will go away completely but I am sure that when I reach a healthy weight and do cardio and strength training I will feel a lot better about myself. For now that is what I am working towards. I think if you excercise your abs and do the special excercised for the lower abdomen it should help along with weight loss. You are not alone, hang in there and come back and check when you feel you need support. good luck to you.
