No appetite 4 weeks postpartum

Not sure this is the right place for this but I wasn't sure where else to post it.

Since having my baby a month ago I just don't have any appetite or interest in food at all. It's really getting me down as I've lost probably about 2 stone now since my pre pregnancy weight and I was small to begin with. I had a lot of nausea and food aversions in pregnancy (hence the weight loss) and it just seems like my interest in food is not coming back. Even when I'm hungry nothing really seems appealing to me. I'm not breastfeeding so it's not important in that way but I am desperate to put the weight back on, but I just can't make myself eat. I'm having like 1-2 Ensures a day to try and make up the calories but it obviously isn't enough. I'm absolutely miserable with how I look and I can't stop thinking about it. Has anyone ever had this and eventually had their appetite and interest in food come back?? I feel like I'm going to be living on Ensures and cereal and being stick thin forever.

It can be a sign of infection, have you consulted?

I think you should go and see the GP and get a check up. You might have a thyroid imbalance (very common during and post pregnancy) and that affects appetite. There also may be any number of other things going on

I third that you need to speak to your GP.
