    I had my surgery 16/03 and I’m now 11 days post op. On the day of my surgery I got weighed and I was 10stone on the dot. I’m a fairly active person going to the gym several times a week. However at my 1 week appointment with the nurse I decided to weigh myself on the scales and it said 10st 10 lbs. I had 425 cc high profiles and they weigh 1lb each. I still feel very frumpy.. uncomfortable and I have put quite a bit of weight on around my stomach my hips and my thighs. Ivery been drinking plenty of fluids and haven’t really been eating more than I normally would. Will all this weight subside?! I’ve heard it can take up to 6-8 weeks for the weight to go but I’m panicking it won’t & I’m stuck being fat! Anyone else been through this with positive outcomes xxx

    Haha, this is exactly like me. My fiancée keeps saying this is how you’ll look when you’re pregnant lol. It’s so so crazy how having an op can make you go like this. I think it’s just our hormones etc. I’m sure once our bodies get use to it & maybe it’s the medication? I’m sure we’ll be back to normal soon lol xx

    I was the same, I put on 12lbs in 2 weeks. I’m not a month post op and I’ve basically gone back to normal. I think it’s just a temporary. Xx

    I was half a stone heavier after my op, I think it’s just water retention. I’m 19 days PO now and I look pregnant even tho my weights back to normal! Makes it hard to enjoy your new boobs when you’ve the gut to go with it haha! I’ve even tried water retention tablets but they’ve not made any difference 🙁 xx

    I was going to start a thread similar to this but I saw this old one and thought I’d post and bump it up to the top again.
    I was having a panic about weight gain post op til I read this! I was 9st 7lbs pre op and now I’m 5DPO and I’m nearly 10st. Considering I have hardly been eating and I’ve been drinking a tonne of water I expected to lose weight! That’s even with my implants weighing 1.5lbs. I’m assuming it’s just because of the medication and the lack of mobility? Is there any more girls in the same boat feeling chunkier post op?! X

    Yes I look about 6 months pregnant ? And I can’t do anything to get the swelling to go down! I weigh 6lbs more now than my op which was 4 days ago! I was the same with my last operation and it took quite a few weeks to go down. The painkillers don’t help because they bloat you up! But it will go and will all be water 🙂 and the fact we can’t do any excercise for a while but it won’t take long to get back to normal!xxx

    I’m the exact same, i thought having the op would make my confidence go up but i feel so low because i’ve put about 8 pounds on in the space on a week since my op. None of my jeans are fitting me it’s awful. I went out yesterday to do some shopping and literally squeezed in to a pair and felt so uncomfortable round my chest and my waist i came home asap lol. Hope it is water retention from all the painkillers! Glad i’m not alone feeling like this! xxx
