I have always been a small build and during pregnancy put on 2 stone but now 6 months later I'm loosing dramatic amounts of weight 10lb in a month and for no reason

Doctors done some bloods everything normal, waiting for a dietician appointment which I know will be a waste of time as I eat regular and a wide range of foods

It's crazy my clothes hang on me and can't find nothing that fits nice I look like a bag of bone in skin it's very upsetting, doctor has said it's probably just my build as I have a high matabalism and nothing I can do about it!!

I am bf and didn't know if that would make me loose weight??

Doesn't sound right at all. Can you see a different doctor and get a second opinion?
BF doesn't make you lose lots of weight like that. With most people bf makes you hungry.

I lost weight breast feeding after my first baby despite eating like an absolute pig. Lost my pregnancy weight within a week and another stone over six months, so not as drastic as yours. I am also a small build, at lowest was around 7st11, which tbh was at the bottom end of ok for me, any lower would have def been too thin. Was also due to doing a lot of walking, had previously been doing a desk job. Had my thyroid tested, was fine and have since gained some weight back.

Our GP sounds like he's just going to sweep this under the carpet. Second opinion needed!
