It has been amost 6 weeks since I had DS via c-section and I hate hate hate my stomach above the incision. What can I do to get rid of my roll above the incision line? It looks like I have a ponch. :crying:

i am probably not the norm, but if you find yourself this way then you won't be alone. i am 10 MONTHS almost post c section and i still have that pouch. i just say its because of bfing and have another cookie, when i feel bad. but seriously i am starting to watch what i eat, which i never had to do before baby. but the best of luck to you moms. if anyone has suggestions i would love to hear also...

Skin can take 6 months to a year to return to where it was but there is certainly some permanent stretching that never goes away. Have all of your babies and if you still feel strongly that this pouch is causing you too much anguish it could easily be repaired surgically.

I would try to use something like "A Warrior's Guide to Life" which is a book on fitness and nutrition or P90X (which is really hard but has dramatic results). The first suggestion might be better because it has a whole section with recipes and a plan that would coincide with breastfeeding (you would not get over exhausted or under fed)... you eat 5 small nutritious meals a day and they are easy to prepare. Give these s shot!!

my idea is u people can start doing static form of abdominal exercises, where u dnt need to work hard enough to reduce ur belly.
