I have a few questions. I was an original sleeve patient in November of 2011. I had a severe stricture that was finally corrected with a bypass in August of 2012. I had lost 110 pounds. scale finally kinda quit moving but ok with that I guess. I was at an ideal weight and had lost all "my girls"! LOL. My sweet husband agreed and paid for me to have a breast augumentation Thursday of last week. The scale gained almost 10 pounds. I know those silicone implants did not weigh 10 pounds. Help! What happened? I haven't felt real well or ate a whole lot since that surgery Thursday. Any idea where that weight came from ? How to get rid of it? I can't exercise for a week or so. Anyone else experienced this ? Help I'm struggling.

I'm sure you were on IV fluids at hospital plus swelling plus bandages and possibly drains. Just wait and don't stress. :)

I agree that's probably what it is they pump you full of fluids anytime you have surgery

I myself had a breast reduction a couple of years ago and found myself to be heavier afterwards,my doctor told me the swelling of scared tissue and Fluid was causing it and the heaviness of the anesthesia.give yourself about two weeks and the weight will move your body just has to heal and get use to the adjustment.try light walking nothing intense just to get you started,and congratulations on your Weightloss!!

When your on bed rest all the Fluid stay in your body. I'm sure you didn't gain 10 pounds. I love your expression 10 pound silicone lmbo

I'm getting my boob fix but with my own body skin & fat :) I want to be all natural but nada wrong with implants it's just me I'm weird sometimes.

So... Tell me what size did you get? Are they heavy? Do your hubby love them? Do you feel the touching licking feeling?

Sorry I want to be prepare for next year :) I heard you lose sensation so idk if its only implants or it apply to anything you do to your body

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
