I totally understand how you feel! I’m all about looking good physically but this e-csect made me feel so down about not being able to snap back as fast as how i imagined it would be. I used to be petite & usually a xs/s size too & jumped to XL when i got pregnant. Now im 4months pp and I’m still not back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
Regardless, apart from your baby, your priority is to heal properly first and take care of those internal wounds. We all have mum pouch, those are loose skin & it will always be there. It takes time to embrace it.
I drank slimming juice (trufitz triple shot/shortcutX) to aid in my weight loss. Of course there’s no shortcut in losing weight, i have to be more mindful of my food intake & jog whenever i have the time to. I still have yet to fit into my old skinny jeans. So, don’t be too hard on yourself! Consistently wear shapewears, I recommend KM body shaper because not only it hides the mum pouch but it also wraps around my inner thighs too.
