Patient's question:
When I had my second child, I had a cesarean section. It has been more than a year since I gave birth. Because my figure has changed, I want to diet. But my friend told me that it is not okay to lose weight after a cesarean section. I think there must be a time issue as well, so I asked the doctor how long after a cesarean section one can lose weight?Doctor's answer:
Cesarean section can be adjusted to dietary intake based on individual circumstances about 6 weeks later. After 6 months postpartum, dietary restraint should be implemented. Otherwise, excessive fat accumulation will make future dietary control more difficult. It is best to focus on a nourishing diet while paying attention to balanced nutrition. Eat more high-nutrient, low-calorie foods. Do not increase fluid intake, and at the same time, you can adopt effective weight-loss activities such as ice skating and yoga.
