rapid weight loss

[fionas]

I put on 8kg throughout the pregnancy and lost 13kg within 8 days. But a lot of that was fluid (my ankles rivalled those of an elephant by the time DD was born).

I was a bit worried too TBH and I think I asked my ob at the time. Can't remember what he said but I've been fine (some of the weight creeped back anyway because I found that I was ravenous when I was expressing so would have a huge bowl of spag bol for breakfast).

But get yourself checked out if you're concerned. Worth putting your mind at rest.

I probably worried you enough in your other thread (in which i recommended a blood test for thyroid levels) but I meant to ask you if you were exerienced rapid weight loss ATM... because it's also a symptom of hyperthyroidism. So, yep, get your blood tested It was my second main concern (weight loss) when I saw my GP for my condition. Once again i'm not necessarily suggesting you have a problem with your thyroid... i certainly hope you don't! It's a shocking thing to have... but just for peace of mind stick with your plan of seeing your GP and getting a blood test done.
