Breast Augmentation Recovery.

[top_5_percent]

I got breast augmentation 2 days ago.

I weighed myself today and I am 6kg heavier than before I got it done!!!! This is including the weight of my drains tubes filled with blood too of course. Does anyone else have experience with retaining massive amounts of fluid after surgery? I feel so fat and disgusting! And I did have a binge yesterday where I ate SO SO much food that it made my physically very ill.

Obviously I can't workout at the moment and I wont be able to for a good few weeks. I am barely even moving around the house at the moment. I know I need to watch my diet during this time. Its causing me alot of anxiety and I feel just gross.

Anyone else got any experience with this that they would like to share?

First off, congrats on the new girls! I had my surgery done a year ago. I was 10lbs heavier for the first week post surgery and gradually the weight disappeared. You weigh more b/c of the excess fluids from the surgery. I think the hardest part of recovery was not being able to workout. Drink lots of fluids, get enough protein to aid in recovery and just rest. I know you feel fat (i felt the same way) but its important to just take it easy.

I can't speak to BA, but I've had a few other surgeries. For the first week after, I'm up in weight anywhere from 5 to 10 pounds. I assume it water weight from all the happy-sleepy-meds they give me during the surgery. It goes away on its own soon.

My surgery was several years ago, but I remember the bloat. You are full of fluids and it will take time to balance out. Eat well and don't sweat it. Most important part is to follow all of your surgeons post surgery rules and heal well.

Depeding on the size of your implants, you will have the weight of the implants themself. Mine add 2 pounds.

I had mine done almost 3 years ago. A couple of things to keep in mind.
Not knowing what anesthesia they used, any anesthesia will cause your system to slow down-and it takes a few days for that to get out of your system. I was constipated for a few days after as well...YUCK I know.
Also they may have pumped you with some fluid too...I had night sweats for a few days.
And of course you have pain meds that will cause more constipation! and then the fact that you will be moving less for a bit so that slows it all down. I also gained a few pounds that in a week or so came off (all buy my two pounds of boobs!!!!) That was a desired weight gain!!
Not a day goes by since I had mine done that I regret it! A week or two of bloat is worth it.

Go to the message boards at www.justbreastimplants.com Everyone there is so helpful. I had mine done a year and a half ago. I didn"t weigh myself after surgery, but ate healthy. I was cleared to do light cardio 2 weeks after surgery, and weights 6 weeks after.

I would ask your doctor or read on implant info great site for research.
