    up the intake to 1200-1500 cal MINIMUM, more if you are breastfeeding.

    Walking, jogging, elliptical, bike should be OK.

    If you are going to do anything else, check with with your OB/gyn first to make sure you are totally healed.

    This is a question for a doctor, not a bunch of people who often give bad advice on a weight loss forum! I wouldn't dare answer this question, even if I had 17 c-sections!

    Please check with your MD. I would also ask the MD about the wisdom of a 1000cal diet. He/she will probably want you to eat more especially if you are breastfeeding.

    this but I think walking is good for anyone and also 1000 calories a day is not enough!!!!!!

    Make sure you consult your doctor first, dont want to do anything that would cause any harm to yourself or the healing process.
