42 year old 132 lb mom of 2 needs a slimmer belly

7 weeks!

WORTH IT$4,800
7 weeks post! Pretty excited about the results thus far. I'm even a bit bloated due to pms in this 7w post pic! For me, this was definitely worth it. I still can feel a little bit of slight numbness when I rub lotion on my belly. I'm excited to see the next couple of weeks. And I still haven't worked out (man I suck, seriously) but I have kept active with the kids since the weather is so nice! I plan to start exercising (for real this time lol) this coming week.

Does the numbness ever go away?
I wouldn't even say it's numbness at this point. If I rub lotion in deep into the tissue, it feels a little tingly but then goes away. Otherwise all feeling is back.
Do you think the pain in the beginning would have not been so bad if you would had done a smaller area? I really want to have this done but I have 2 small children and don't know if I could work through the pain and still take care of my kiddos.
I think it might have been more tolerable or manageable if I would've had lower and uppers done separately. I also think I may not have gone back for the second one and my results would be lopsided. It's so hard to say! I'm kinda glad I got it all out of the way at once. Not everyone gets this pain either. I have a 21 month old and a 6 year old. My husband helped out a lot. But wearing the ice belt was a huge huge help when I had to get stuff done like hosting my daughters birthday party and chasing around the toddler during it at day 9! It was all worse at night for some reason, too.
That gives me some good insight. Thank you for the info!
You look Great! I am just a little past my 3 week mark. I have seen a little change but I am hoping for so much more :) Thanks for posting.
Amazing difference. I did coolsculpt but my results are not anything like yours.
Wow! I did coolsculpt 3 weeks ago and I can’t see ANY difference. Good for you! It worked and you look great.

6 weeks!!

Definitely seeing results at 6 weeks! When I was 20 pounds lighter my stomach wasn't this flat. They say results START at 6 weeks so I'm really excited to see the next few weeks. I started exercising again but just a few times this week. Diet still good but yesterday I indulged in some Easter treats!

Looking great! Thank you for sharing.
Wow, major changes. Thank you for sharing. Did you only have 1 treatment?
Yep just the one treatment!! I didn't expect this much improvement. Results are still coming too! I'll post an 8w post pic this coming Saturday :)
Great results and great interval of posting! Please keep it up! Will be rooting for your success.
You look great. I just hit 4 weeks! You have a large improvement between 4 weeks to 7.

Almost 5 weeks!

Definitely seeing progress! I'll be 5 weeks post procedure tomorrow. So far I'm pleased with results and hope they continue in the next few weeks. I STILL haven't worked out (ashamed!) but intend to get back to it soon. Had a lot of life issues come up that has prevented me from making the time! But my diet is good. Limited carbs and no or very few sweets.

Thanks for your posts! You look great & I am encouraged to get through this (I am at post day 3)
Only five weeks and you look like this already?!?! AMAZING results so far! I can't wait to see your next update. I'm scheduled to have mine done this Thursday and I'm so nervous/excited! I'm going on a cruise two weeks after the procedure and I'm hoping all my swelling and pain will be gone by then.
Do you have any updates? I am getting mine done 3 weeks before my vacation and I am getting really nervous about this. Hopefully you can give me some info, thanks!
