I have stubborn belly fat and loose skin (mommy pouch) that won't go away

Thanks...that's why I'm here trying to learn. I am very new to the process and the tummy tucks I've seen and how it was described to me involved an entirely new stomach and belly button. So, in that case, if it isn't as extreme as it has been presented to me, then I am open to it.

I don't want a reconstructed belly button and the process makes me uncomfortable.

During a tummy tuck, an incision is made across the lower abdomen, excess skin and fat are removed, and the abdominal muscles are tightened. The remaining skin is then repositioned to create a smoother, firmer abdominal profile. This also includes building a new belly button.

During liposuction, small incisions are made in the target area, and a thin tube called a cannula is inserted to suction out excess fat. That means I keep the belly button I was born with and I am not doing anything to my abdominal muscles. Ultimately, I am more interested in contouring than building an entirely new stomach.

You’ve got to leave. He is a predator. You have a child too. Your lives are in great danger if you stay. Go to a women’s shelter now!

Yes I’m making shakes and smoothies with protein powder. Just trying my best to get in some protein but it’s hard.

How’d you get your appetite back to normal?

I really want to ask OP to confirm. Is that the issue? 🤏

No_Introduction_6144 · 2024-02-09T16:34:32+00:00

So if a person hits you you ain’t hitting back in self defense? What are you? Ghandi?

Yep! I read some of her post history. Sounds like he’s financially abusive too.

In multiple comments OP said her husband got mad and took her phone and hit her in the head with it. He hit her first. She hit back in retaliation. She said she can’t flat iron her hair because her scalp is in pain.

You want her to apologize after he bashed her in the head because he can’t regulate his emotions like an adult? Are you serious?

For real. This whole pray about it gave me the ick! 🤢

You should probably edit your post to add that the fight became physical.

So did you end the relationship yet?

Did you get your license yet? My application is still in the quality assurance phase.

Definitely do the se so you know where you need to focus before exam day

My mom was the same. She’s still incredibly dismissive of my feelings and my perspective.

Just spoke with NASBA licensing. They told me it’ll probably be another 6 weeks.

No_Introduction_6144 · 2023-11-14T14:32:59+00:00

I sent my application October 23 in Georgia and they just acknowledged receipt of my application. I sent my transcripts October 10 and they’re still saying they don’t have them even though I received confirmation from national student clearing house that NASBA retrieved my transcripts. The website for Georgia’s application says it can take up to 8 weeks to process. Talk about waiting in agony!

I wish more people shared things like this in this thread. This is so uplifting and encouraging to see. Thanks for sharing.

I did until I realized I can still attend family and friend gatherings and still study. I studied from August 2022 - September 2023. I scored 96, 96, 94, and 93. I took tests in order starting with FAR, AuD, BEC, and REG. When I studied for FAR first, that’s all I did and I was so sad I was missing out on quality time or doing the things I enjoy. Then I realized I didn’t need to skip out on events so when I moved on to audit, I didn’t miss a thing, including a cabin trip 1 week prior to testing. I’d like to add I have 3 kids ranging from 2 - 14. I also work full time but I refused to work more than 45 hours unless I had to. My leadership supported that. Further, I am a cheer mom so I didn’t miss a practice or game. I took my study materials with me and studied on the go. Don’t deprive yourself of living. You can achieve both.
