What Causes Weight Loss Post Delivery Of Child?

Hi, I recently have had problem with my blood pressure linked to my pregnancy. I have been on medication for the last 6 months for this problem. I was recently taken off the medication (AMLODIPINE 10 mg) 2 weeks ago because my blood pressure has stabalized. Since my daughter was born 6 months ago I have been struggling with weightloss, and was wondering if it would be okay to try a pill of some sort and which would be best with my pre-existing medical condition? I bought some samples of Saba's ACE (Appetite Control and Energy) recently, and was wondering if they are actually safe to take for someone with my background?

hi, i think i have understood your concern.

I will suggest you tp opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include more portions of fruits, salads and vegetables in your diet.
Avoid deep fried food, bakery products and refined sugars.
Please check for thyroid function tests.
Sometimes hypothyroidism that is not prrsent in pregnancy starts after delivery, due to some auto immune conditions.
Please do not fall prey to false and non scientific things for weight lloss.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
