feelin quite reassured by all the responses
i'm bf'ing nd still got a lot of fluid to lose... so gonna weigh myself in a week (i know i should stay away from the scales but i won't!)... nd as long as i'm on the right path i'll stop stressin!!
lol, i think a big part of the problem is also that i've put on soooo much weight in my face... i don't look like me anymore!!

If you keep up with breastfeeding the weight will fall off! Also your little one will keep you so busy you won't have time to eat! I'm 4 weeks pp and bf'ing and losing weight at about 3 lbs a week with zero exercise. I lost 14 in the first week but most was baby and fluids.

i think the night sweats is one of the ways ur kidney shed more fluid... i've been sweatin more in general.
i've dropped a stone since the op so i'm not stressin... still got a stone nd a half to go to my pre-pregnancy weight... nd then another stone to get to the weight i was this time last year.
breastfeedin is awesome for helpin u drop weight!
as soon as i can get out nd about pushin the pram as well i think that'll help even more!
