Putting on weight in recovery Started by: Daniella

Hi Daniella. I had the exact same thing happen to me! During recovery I didn’t move around much but I think I ended up comfort eating to try and cheer myself up when I was feeling in pain or uncomfortable. So I ended up gaining over half a stone. I’m 6 weeks po now and my surgeon has told me I can start light exercise as long as I find a bra which literally prevents my boobs from moving at all as I have quite large implants (just measured at 32FF). I’m worried that losing weight will result in my boobs looking saggy so I’m going to try and take it slowly. Only by losing weight really quickly should result in your skin being saggy so if you just lose 1 or 2 pounds a week, it’s not extreme and hopefully shouldn’t impact on the skin of the breasts so much to make them drop further. It’s still a scary prospect but I’m not happy at the weight I am so I have to take the risk. I’ve bought a shock absorber sports bra which holds me in so well so hopefully I can start my weight loss soon and feel more confident with my body x
