“BACK TO WEARING JEANS AT 7 WEEKS POST OP!!”

im 31yrs old mother of 2 last pregnacy was an emergency c-section.. since my last pregnacy havent gained or lost weight but for some reason my stomach stayed bigger than what it was..i dont work out im 5'4 155 pounds and been this weight for the past 5yrs which is great.the reason why im doing this tt is because im so tired of people asking me if im pregnant. I cant wear certain clothes because of the gut im just fed up with it and since i got my tubes tied i said why not so here i am ready to make this happen.. im anxious excited nervous..so ladies wish me luck on this journey:)
