What can I do to get rid of this gutt of mine. I have lost over 30 lbs in the past few months and it seems like my stomach is getting bigger. I workout and everything and nothing. HELP

Hello,\n\nIt may well be that the "belly" that you are referring to is loose skin left over from your pregnancies.  This skin has been stretched so much that it has lost its elasticity.  (This happens to people who have lost a great deal of weight, too.)  It would make sense that as the rest of your body tones up, this "belly" would seem more noticeable to you.

Do lots of tummy firming exercises such as sit-ups/crunches, reverse crunces, bicycle (alternate legs, back and forth off the ground whilst lying on your back). Also, try to pull your stomach in slightly/lock on your abs at all times (whenever you remember at first, until it becomes automatic). Especially ensure you do this while exercising. Good luck!

Could be a cyst.  But it also could be stool in your gut.

It's actually a common problem for anyone who has had a dramatic weight loss. The part your doc went wrong was not making you aware of this in the beginning. My sister went in for gastric bypass surgery, and the first thing they told her about was the excess skin. She's currently saving up for cosmetic surgery. I had the same problem after I had my second son. My chest was 32c before I had my son, and by the time that he was born they were a 42DD. After I stopped producing milk, they shrunk back to their old size only they hung like two water balloons in tube socks lol. I did have surgery done to bring them back up. It took me a year to save up the money for the surgery. But I couldn't be happier. So try throwing all your extra change in a coffee can, cut out the unnecessary things in your life (like I cut out my Starbucks coffee and cigarettes) and put that money in the can. Before you know it you'll have the money to get it done.

Possibly a fatty tumor, harmless but can be annoying and cause discomfort if it gets quite large.\nDoctor will need to take a tissue sample of it to rule out other concerns. Can opt ot keep it there or have it removed later.

maybe it is a hernia.......it prolly won't be a problem in the sex or child producing area's....but could become larger, choke your intestings at some point.......its not going to heal itself

I had this same problem after I had my son, I just couldn't seem to get back those last few inches off my belly and ass. Here is what I did, and maybe it will work for you...Up your cardio by an extra 15 minutes and hit the floor for some serious sit-ups. And don't forget to modify the number of carbohydrates and sweets you are eating. Sugar (from both sweets and fruit) turns into the same thing in your body as carbs, meaning that you have to be careful with how much of that sort of stuff you are eating. Cut out all white and enriched flours and starchy products. Toss in whole grain, not just whole wheat, and lay off the potatoes, if you can't give them up competely, substitute them with sweet potatoes, they have about half the carbs. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Yes it sounds like you could have an adominial hernia, that could get strangulated if you do not get treatment for it.  Once it is strangulated, the blood supply to the piece of gut, that is protruding, will be cut off causing severe problems

Don't worry about losing the weight. Worry about toning and tightening the tummy if that's what you're really concerned about.\n\nTry some of the great abdominal workouts that are there. Even if you spend 30 minutes a day working on an exercise ball, you should see some improvement in the midsection.\n\nYou could also practice deep breathing and contracting your core when you exhale and hold for a count of five.\n\nYour tummy won't be entirely gone by just losing weight. And without toning those muscles, when you gain, it's more likely to be more apparent in that particular area.

I have one myself, several years now.  Occured sometime after lung transpalnt surgery.  My doctor has told me that it is only a problem if it strangulates my intestines, otherwise don't worry.  Since you are also worried about your appearance, you may want to look into surgical repair, that's the only way to remove one.  A good surgeon can do this with minimal scar and can even hide the scar in your belly button.

ugh! i have the same problem. but try some cardio excercises, (running, jump rope, eliptical) because i read that cardio burns fat. crunches and sit up tone the muscles, like me i have great abs but there hidden under a layer of fat. so im starting to add some cardio into my daily regimine.

HOLY COW!!! 50 kilos in three months???? Wanna share your secret? PLEASE?!?! Lol. Well such fast weight loss will naturally have an impact on the tightness of your skin. I guess surgery would be a preferable option but maybe it's a bit extreme. I dunno, perhaps excercise to get some muscles and to tone that excess flabbiness. Otherwise, good job again!!

I know it sucks, but it's true.  You can't spot reduce.  The first place your body puts weight on is the first place it will come off.  It may be that the place your body will loose fat last is your back.  Mine is my inner thighs. :(\n\nYour diet is a big part of loosing that excess body weight.  About 80% of weight loss is your diet, only about 20% is exercise; however, there are some exercises you can do to get that back into shape.\n\n1- Push-ups.  Make sure you're pulling your belly to your back while you do it.  This is a great overall workout and it will get the area your talking about\n\n2- Lat Pulls.  Any kind of lat pull down.\n\n3- Rows.  The rowing motion is awesome for your back.  On a weight machine or on a rowing machine, this will get it tougher.\n\nTry these.  And watch that diet!

Just exercise and take your time to get back into shape...that "extra" skin will go away...you may not ever have the flat tummy you once had, but you certainly will "shed" the gummy extra skin that you have right now.  I can remember how mortified I was following my first child...but it will get better : )  Enjoy your little one, he will grow up fast!!!

I would say try to follow like a Atkins or South Beach type diet. It worked for me...it's the first thing I noticed. I totally can relate, I carry all my weight in my gut..*L* I don't complain about any other body part...my legs are nice, my butt, hips etc....Just this darn belly fat. But I can tell you I know with either the South Beach or for me the Atkins...it will take at least 2 weeks to see some results.. But you also need to exercise and stay active. And with all the hype about Atkins maybe consult a doctor prior to starting any diet programs. Good luck;)

just to clear it up...there is a type of gallbladder removal surgery that enlarges the stomach. its called laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. its becoming the most common way to remove one. they make four small incisions instead of one really big one. they inflate your stomach with gas so that they have room to get in there and work. i had mine removed in the end of 2003. i do still have a problem with a bloated stomach but its not constant. it has to do with what i eat or how much (or lack there of). if your stomach is constantly swollen i would definitely go back to the doc. i really don't think that would be a side effect. and when it comes to the stomach/digestive areas, you don't wanna play around. it really could be any number of things. and anyone out there that is dealing with digestive problems since their surgery, take my advice. do something about it. i couldn't find a doc to listen to me about mine until a few months ago. now i'm sitting here with a number of peptic ulcers that were caused by the excess acid that my stomach now has to take on itself. and trust me, this hurts! don't play when it comes to your stomach...go to the doc!!!
