PS and weight gain....

I am sure that I have read here that there is a temporary weight gain after plastic surgery........ I guess I need reassurance!

I had breast augmentation on Wednesday, and today my scales are up 5 pounds . I am very happy with the new girls!

I had mine implants done 2 weeks ago today and I was up 6lbs originally. I am down 2 of those now and my implants weight 2 lbs so I am still retaining fluids. It will drop off. Don't sweat it girl!

ACK! Now I'm a little nervous :-)... who knows what mine will be in December.

Yes, but it is temporary so don"t freak out. It is from retaining fluids and swelling. It took me a few weeks for it all to leave. Congrads on your new girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Gail

Yep, it's temporary.
When I had my breast reduction and lift last year I came home 5 lbs heavier........I think it took about 3 weeks to see it starting to go down.
When I had my Brachioplasty I came home 3 lbs heavier and again it took about 3 weeks to see it go down a little.

I just had my TT 2 weeks ago and I really can't wait for the scale to start to go down.  Even though I know it's only fluid and it's temporary it is still bothersome.  I worked so hard to get to my goal and hate seeing the scale go in the other direction for any reason.

Hang in there.....it will get better

Wow... great timing for me to read this post!  After being stable with my weight for 6+ months, I am now up about 6 pounds following my brachioplasty, breast aug/lift and thigh liposuction.  My scale measures water % and this morning I registered at 56%, which is more than 10% normal for me.  Even though it makes sense that the weight gain is not true weight gain, it still depressed me to see the numbers rise so much,

So, thanks for posting this and the replies/guidance others provided!!
