Weight gain after surgery?!!!

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 also put loads of weight one for about 5-6 weeks so it’s only the last few weeks I’ve gone back to normal to 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

Omg I thought it was just me! My confidence has been so low because of the weight I’ve put on, thought my confidence was gonna get better! ???

I’m the same Hollie I don’t wanna go out uptown coz all my dresses are bodycons and my tummy is huge haha the gyms helped it slightly but its nearly 3 weeks now I expected it to be well gone! Hope yours improves soon! Xxx

I tried to not go on the bathroom scales , because I feel and look as if I’ve gained at least 6lbs . I’m 6 weeks PO and I have my check up with the nurse today , …fingers cross the nurse wil givr me the all clear to allow me to resume exercises and go to the gym …

hi girls I’m the same I’ve put so much weight on and I’m only 18days po its making me feel terrible I’ve put it on everywhere i just can’t wait to start going gym …i feel like I’m getting bigger everyday…

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

Phew! I’m the same too ladies, it’s so uncomfortable! I have my 7 day check up tomorrow, dreading to be weighed ? Xxx

I’m the Same lol 8lb over night it was lol!! I seem to have shifted 4b this week but I look pregnant still and it’s no fun lol xx

Thank god I thought it was just me! Mum told me I looked pregnant lol! I’m a week post op and panicking!? Guess I’ll have to wait this fat out hahaha xxx

Omg same ??? I literally feel sick from being so bloated!!! My jeans zip kept coming undone ?? xx

I look like im expecting twins!!! LOL xxx

Thank god it’s not just me!! I’m 5 days po and I’ve put on 6lbs and I look like I’m pregnant again. I had 400cc unders and my belly sticks out way further than my boobs. I never expected this, I’m not even eating much. I’ll just have to wait it out ☹️ Xx
