I still have 15 to 30 lbs to lose, just depending on how I look/feel when I reach the 15lb goal. But after surgery yesterday I have gained 10 lbs and my tummy looks like I'm pregnant. I was so proud of most of my weight being in my thighs and hips and having an almost flat tummy, and I feel so fat right now. Ugh. Oh well. I know it'll go down eventually. I'm just happy that I finally feel normal. My whole life I've had one breast that never developed, and one that was tuberous. They were a size at least different and didn't even change with weight loss or gain. So I got implants. I feel so proportional and amazing right now, besides the sore muscles. Now if only I didn't look pregnant..

It's just temporary. The even boobs, those are long-term. One of mine is at least a half size larger than the other. When I am thin, it is more obvious to me. I'd be willing to take a 10-lb gain for a couple days for nice even ta-tas. It is just the meds, IV fluid, etc.

Well congrats on the new girls!! I'm glad you're happy with them. The belly will go down, air often get's trapped after surgery and they push a lot of fluids through the I.V. during surgery. In 3-4 days you should be back to your old self. Again Congrats!!

Don't worry about it. Surgery causes massive swelling and water retention from your body being stressed and trying to heal itself. It isn't fat gain, it is simply superficial water weight.

I know it's all water. It just really emotionally messing with me. I gained 5" on my waist I can't wait until I deflate lol. And I can't wait until 3 weeks passes and I can work out again. Yay for even boobies though. I actually started crying when I saw them because I've never had a matching set before, let alone such beautiful ones.

So excited that you are happy! That is awesome!
and keep your head up! You will be back to working out before you know it!

Girl, like the others said - this is temporary. Surgery causes a lot of havoc on your body. Give it a week and you will lose most of it.

A perfect example of this... I was 215 when I went into the hospital to have a baby... I had my 8 lb 5 oz monster babe (via emergency c-section).... when I left the hospital (AFTER HAVING THE BABY) I was 225. Within a week and a half... I weighed 185. Just saying... the surgery caused me to put on A LOT OF WATER WEIGHT.

Wow! That's one heck of a woosh! Lol. I'm just not going to weight myself until my boobs start feeling better. I know these things are going to weigh about 3lbs that I can't get rid of.. but this pregnant looking tummy has got to go. lol. At least I still have some of my bigger jeans to wear if I decide to go out, and lots of sweat pants
