Re: Please reply with experiences regarding weight loss/gain

[Guest guest]

I personally lost weight. I was 115 with implants and I am now down to

104. We all know the implants didn't weigh over 10 lbs (although my

back felt like they did when I had them! ) so I think a lot of it has

to do with the meds I have been taking after surgery. They make me

feel a little yucky. I have to take my antibiotic and antifungal pills

for 1 month so since I am at 2 weeks I have to continue this for 2

more! My appetite is slowly coming back...the one thing that I am

happy about is I noticed I am not as BLOATED! I was beginning to look

like my italian grandmother for a while with implants in at the end.

Really skinny with a big beer gut! I have no idea if it is possible

that the implants were causing this but my midriff is thinning out

quite a bit. I am def. happy with that!

weight.

Kim,

From what I've seen, weight can go either way after

explant. I don't know that it's predictable. It seems

to be an individual thing.

Hi Shirley,

I am so sorry for your weight gain, but I am relieved to know I am not the only

one. I have

felt so alien with all the thin women around... I gained over 100 pounds, too,

and am

having a rough time taking it off. I also found out I had Hashimoto's

thyroiditis.

Have you had your thyroid checked? Autoimmune thyroid disease is pretty common,

especially with those of us who have had BI.

Hang in there!

I lost 10 lbs, but I've gained 5 back because I have been making an

effort to eat more than I normally do. I don't mind being 5 lbs under

my normal weight, but I didn't like being 10 lbs under.

I always worry about my weight too, though I just have an extra 20.

I'm beginning to realize that I shouldn't compare myself to 25 year

old cover girls - it is just so unrealistic (I'm 45). God is really

working on me to help me find beauty in my heart, despite my weight

and breast size - and the overflow from my heart is what will make

me beautiful. Sounds so corny, but it is really helping me. I

think for the first time in my life, after explant two weeks ago, I

am focusing on my inner beauty - that is first my relationship with

God, and then what I put into my body - eating healthy and

exercising, focusing on my health rather than my weight. I am

hoping the weight issue will only logically follow.

I hope the same for you. Have you had your explant surgery yet?

I'm with you on the sugar and carbs, I think they are addicting and

very hard to stop.

Cherie
