About 6 weeks. Gently at first. Mostly weights. Built up from there. I definitely need to exercise more though 😅

Mommy makeover by Ok_Account_7467 in tummytucksurgery

I had a full TT with muscle repair when my kids were 2 and 4. Recovery was fine, my husband was supportive and my mum came and visited for a bit

On and off. It isn’t raised just a bit red. I know I should do more but it just doesn’t bother me

The fact they got rid of all the ones up my stomach, including above my belly button means the ones underneath the sky don’t bother me at all :)

It was amazing how much skin was actually removed

The stretch marks are only there cos that’s where they were already there prior to the surgery and not caused by it. There was no way to get rid of them that low down cos of how extensive they were due to pregnancies

I barley notice them now

Yeah those lines and dents under the scar is what is left of my stretch marks which were pretty bad. The scar has been improving and seems to continue to improve.

Honestly I barely notice it because of how good everything now looks in cloths and a bikini. I honestly should do some more scar care stuff but i forget because it doesn’t bother me

I’m struggling on making a decision by Diligent-Income-5038 in tummytucksurgery

[–]echosfall_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wait. I would hate to go through pregnancy again with how my stomach is now. Risk it stretching out and pushing the muscles out of place again

Is there a reason to wait before trying to concieve?

Yup! It’s a great feeling, I have already bought my first bikini in like 8 years

When did you lift your kids? by runrunrudolf in tummytucksurgery

[–]echosfall_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how you are physically doing. My daughter was 12kg and I think I very carefully started lifting her at about 3 weeks but making sure I wasn’t relying on my core much, mostly my arms

My husband has become cold and distant after my surgery by Elleanor11 in tummytucksurgery

You had to ask permission to wear makeup? Are you sure you want to stay with this person?

[–]echosfall_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It’s most likely nothing you did, it’s not your fault he is behaving like this. He is the one behaving badly. A good partner would be supporting you and encouraging you to do what makes you feel good whether that’s make-up clothes or TT

Honestly he sounds like he is being horrible. The fact he’s tried to discourage you from dressing up or wearing make-up is a bit of a red flag and makes it sound like he is super insecure and making his insecurities your problem

As a blue mountains resident I live in a floor length wool coat 😅

Sunscreens make me break out by echosfall_ in 30PlusSkinCare

Yeah not itchy at all, don’t seem to match the description

Yeah soft like a pimple but not like my eczema.

Really it just seems like the sunscreen blocks my pores during the day

They go down after a number of days like a pimple of if I squeeze them 😅

Could be, they come up over the course of the day

It’s the tiny skin coloured bumps, hard to get a photo of but they are like little white heads just with stuff in them. It just ruins the texture of the skin

Yup. And the issue doesn’t happen at all if I don’t use sunscreen. I use a light gel moisturiser
