Patient's question:
I had a little baby last week. I gained over 20 pounds during my pregnancy, and now a week after giving birth, I still feel like my body hasn't slimmed down. I'm getting anxious. How much weight can I lose during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your question: Based on the information you provided, it's analyzed that the body's immunity is relatively weak during the postpartum period. It is recommended that you do not diet but instead focus on strengthening nutrition. Sometimes, there is concern that the body may not recover well. During the postpartum period, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as protein-rich foods. Try to avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Rest more in bed and pay attention to the hygiene of the external genital area.
