Weight Loss Medication on Budget
I’m over a month postpartum and I am looking for a weight loss medication that can help with weight loss. I’ve gained so much weight with my second child I wanted to wait until I lost weight before having another but of course things just don’t work out that way lol I know it’s still early and I know I should workout but it’s difficult with a new born and a toddler and the sleep that I don’t get. I had an emergency c section because when they were attempting to put the epidural I was in screaming from the pain ever since then I have back pain as if I’m still pregnant. Not just that I hardly eat not because I want to lose weight but because I have no appetite or I’m too tired to make anything I’m so serious when I say I’m literally drowsy I’m still taking vitamins and protein shakes so I have something I get so nauseous after I eat but when I am hungry i feel starved ANYWAYS I need something to help me get on track and help motivate me give me energy without hair loss something that’s not too extreme idk any suggestions?? Also I have lots of loose skin especially stomach that’s my problem area I just did not do no snapping back after my kids lmao any suggestions for that ?

If you have no appetite, are still experiencing post partum pain, get nauseous from food and have what sounds like dis regulated food signaling, this all seems to scream: talk to your doctor. Ask for a consult with a dietitian. Check your vitamin and hormone levels, they can be completely out of whack post pregnancy for months and months.
How many months are you postpartum? Are your breastfeeding?
