Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Thanks for the query.
Usually weight gain in pregnancy in 9 months is 11 Kgs. Which goes down to 6 Kgs after child birth( because it's due to the baby+ placenta+ fluid around baby.The remaining weight gain is due to fat deposition in pregnancy & is usually consumed during lactation & comes to normal in one year.
You have not mentioned the period after LSCS. Even if it's not yet 1 year, you have a challenge of reducing 25 kgs to come back to normal. I understand your concern.
Your doctor has advised Reshape slim powder for slimming. It's a good preparation with low calorie, essential micronutrients, and high fibbers nutrients. But merely taking powder is not going to help reduction of weight.
* The problem needs to be investigated, & then proper lifestyle is to be adopted along with the powder
* I can suggest the probable cause of weight gain after LSCS in your case .They can be-
- Excessive rest & high calorie food after operation,
- You had oedema in pregnancy-which might have continued/increased raising weight. So few causes of oedema need to be excluded - It's good that your thyroid testing is normal.
- Anaemia/blood pressure/urine infection.-I would suggest Hb% & CBC, Urine check up for routine (albumin) & microscopic& a blood pressure check up & physical examination by a physician.
- Raised blood sugar in pregnancy increases maternal & baby weight, this may have not resolved. Blood sugar Fasting & post meal will exclude/diagnose raised blood sugar (Diabetes). Which needs a specific treatment?
* Family history of obesity/diabetes is to be considered.
Management-
** To pin point the specific diagnosis by, a physician's consultation /Investigations/specific treatment will help weight reduction,
** Life style changes-
- Exercises- If you have LSCS 6 months back you can start with mild exercises .like walking, mild abdominal stretches ( to be increased gradually),pelvic tilts, modified planks, Bridge exercise, modified cobra pose. Leg raising (mild), Perineal exercises can be slowly started & increased as per a physical therapist's advise.
- Increased activities- house hold work, games, hobbies,
- Diet- A high protein vitamin rich & iron & calcium diet with lees carbohydrates& high fibers is to be taken.
A dietician’s advice will be good.
** Positive psychology - Pranayama with meditation & positive thinking will remove tension & help.
- A sound sleep for 8 hours in a day is ideal. Excessive sleep to be avoided.

** Instead of instant formulas, a natural/ gradual reduction with constant efforts will reduce you as well as keep you healthy.
I hope the answer was informative & helpful to you. Any further query is welcome.
Thanks.
