Since Lilah’s arrival on Nov. 19, Tori has been taking some time to adjust,admitting in a Dec. 10 postthat she was “trying really hard to love my postpartum body.”

“It’s only been 3 weeks since growing and then birthing a human being, but it’s hard,” she began in her caption. “Having major abdominal surgery is difficult for me because I hate being restricted.”

“I hate asking for help,” Tori continued. “I hate not being able to physically keep up with where my mental state is. Plus there are jiggles in places that are honestlyjust hard to come to terms with.”

“I know it’s temporary,” she said. “I know my body will heal and I will be back where I want to be. It’s just the waiting that’s hard.”
