Tummy grew bigger once postnatal massage ends

Question

I am so down and demoralised whenever i look at my body. I gave birth 8 weeks ago via emergency csect. I am stuck with this tummy. Like 3-4 months preggy. My tummy went a little smaller, and waist shrunk to 76cm during/after postnatal massage and i was so happy. But after a week or so, maybe because my appetite has came back and im in a better mood, my tummy somehow grew bigger back and my waist has went up to 80cm.I am petite and slim, but i have a big tummy😣 i dont know how to slim it down. Do i really need to diet and exercise ? I do not have diastasic recti, as per gynae mentioned. But somehow this tummy just wont go away. Any tips? #firsttimemom

For DR you need to get treatment because it will remain, otherwise will be exercise. You may check with gynae or ways to reduce DR. Also to reduce mummy's pouch you can do massage once a month but also on the other hand using waist trainer from morning till night or night till morning to maintain your tummy area.
