i dont know if this is question or not but i never had any problems with my body or health, and ever since i had my first baby, i started getting depressed and yea i know you get that after having a baby and it goes away after some time but mine hasent, i guess i got so depressed and not knowing how much i ate but after the pains started i realized i was eating to much but i didnt want to look in the mirror. than the pains got worse so thats when i went to the doctor and got blood work done and a few days later i had to go to the hospitol and did some lab work and said it was my gallbadder, they i needed to lose some weight before surgery cause it helps with healing process, monday they weighed me and i weighed 404!!! that scared the hell outa me. i never been that big in my life, so they gave me some pain pills for now and its the generic for darvecets and when i came back to weighed on thurs cause they an accurrate weight or something like that but i weighed myself again and i weighed 378, so i lost weight??
i dont see how i dont anything besides walking around on campas at school, i dont see how i lost weight i dont feel any different maybe i lost weight in the toe area! lol. but is it because of the pills or what that i lost 26 pounds???

Any form of exercise is going to increase your metabolism from what it was during a lethargic period.  

Post partum depression generally causes the person to be more lethargic and unwilling to do much.

Perhaps your weight loss was partly due to losing the additional baby weight, water weight or an increase to your metabolism where you begin to metabolise food better and use up the stored sugars and fats that linger with lethargy.

If any one of those factors contributed, I say go for it!  And I applaud you on getting yourself back on track.  

Post partum depression does go away quickly, unless the patient unwittingly permits themself to linger in it, not fully understanding how it affects the entire body.  

You've taken great leaps to improve your health.  You owe yourself a pat on the back!

Just my thoughts...
