They are strong from all of my workouts...but separated the width of 4 fingers.&amp;nbsp; If you don&#39;t know what that means, hold your hand up and put 4 of your fingers together.&amp;nbsp; My muscles are spread apart THAT much.&amp;nbsp; {YIKES}&amp;nbsp; The fascia between those separated muscles will not shrink or go back to a pre-pregnancy status.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;It does not matter how much I work out or how many miles I run, the extra skin never shrinks or goes away.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I do not say this lightly, folks.&amp;nbsp; I have a significant amount of excess skin, as well as a bulging belly due to the muscle separation.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s time to repair my body.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSop-8lEpEA/XxcPPuTcvHI/AAAAAAAAmEw/9rGeE3fCKTYN6EYJ82IlkL3BnfmschCdACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Heather_Before_Picture_With_Bitmoji.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1190&quot; data-original-width=&quot;764&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSop-8lEpEA/XxcPPuTcvHI/AAAAAAAAmEw/9rGeE3fCKTYN6EYJ82IlkL3BnfmschCdACLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Heather_Before_Picture_With_Bitmoji.png&quot; width=&quot;256&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;tr-caption&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Head over to &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkmS3Kqo_Lk&amp;amp;t=34s&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Youtube &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;to find out more!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;I would love it if you would follow my tummy tuck journey with me!&amp;nbsp; The WW community was always such a positive place to find support, and I know so many others find it difficult to make the decision to have this surgery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/thewwchick&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;create videos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; documenting the tummy tuck journey on &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/thewwchick&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s actually the same &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/thewwchick&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;channel &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I used for my old WW cooking videos back in the day.&amp;nbsp; You might already be subscribed to my new content and not even know it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have a &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://justanothertummytuckjourney.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, as well as an Instagram account, where I am committed to posting pictures each day the first year after surgery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blog:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://justanothertummytuckjourney.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.justanothertummytuckjourney.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instagram:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/justanothertummytuckjourney/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.instagram.com/justanothertummytuckjourney/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Youtube:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/c/thewwchick&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/c/thewwchick&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;Site: http://www.thewwchick.com&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.leadingtheweigh.com/2020/07/tummy-tuck-after-80-pound-weight-loss.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nSop-8lEpEA/XxcPPuTcvHI/AAAAAAAAmEw/9rGeE3fCKTYN6EYJ82IlkL3BnfmschCdACLcBGAsYHQ/s72-c/Heather_Before_Picture_With_Bitmoji.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
