Is it ever possible?

To trim down loose skin on the stomach?

I'll start by saying I KNOW I am very early on into my weight loss after a baby, but I'm just curious.

I am 5.5 months post partum with my second child. Two c sections.

I was 10 stone 6lbs after my second baby, heaviest I've ever been. I am now 9 stone 11. Eat well and exercise regularly (mainly strength training, minimal cardio). I track progress not just by the scales but also via body measurements too.
Whilst I am super pleased with my progress, my mum tum and jiggly stomach still bothers me. Very much appears like saggy skin that I would love to just cut off 😂

Started to research diastasis recti this week and almost certain I have it (more so above the belly button) so I'm sure this is contributing to the way my stomach is too.

But I'm curious, other than via surgical methods, will the saggy skin ever go? Am I just trying too hard to make something happen that never will?

Mine never did :( It really just depends on your skin type. I have a friend who has 7 children and her skin just snapped back.

You are still early days, fingers crossed your skin will firm back up x

@BusyCaz thank you for your reply! You're probably right 😭 I know it's early days but hopefully in time I'll see some more visible results.
