    Why would you add weight to your body with implants?

    My god I'm jealous. Who's your doc? Did you feel comfortable with him/her?
    I'm planning on getting implants in the near future and have been collecting experiences from people around town. Feel free to inbox me if you like. :)


    As far as advice is concerned, I'd say drink a lot of water since it tends to suppress the appetite, and try to eat as healthily as possible. Good luck!

    Ouch! Jump rope? really? How soon was it I would think bouncing would hurt!!! How about a slow jog in place? Also take it easy you deserve and need it and to combat the munchies that may be caused by pain meds try pairing fiber with protein. For example whole grain toast or crackers and peanut butter. Good luck :flowerforyou: Feel better.

    Because she wanted to?

    When I had mine done, I gained a ton of weight because I couldn't exercise and I ate a ton. =/ I had them done the end of April last year and by the time I could run again in June, I had shot up to almost 200 lbs =( I'm still on here trying to work it off, so be strong, eat good while you can't exercise, slowly ease back into exercise as your doctor allows, and you'll thank yourself later!! Enjoy em ;) It's a whole new world. One year in and I wouldn't take it back FOR THE WORLD.

    if you just got implants, check with your surgeon for when you are allowed to exercise again. Most recommend that after surgery, to not exercise for a certain period of time. Start with walking, and ask your surgeon what else you are allowed to do safely.

    I have implants, I got them April of 09, April 22nd to be exact. I ride horses, so I was really afraid of getting them done and not being able to compete, but by the beginning of June I was able to compete in a 25 mile endurance ride with minimal discomfort.

    I was told to stay off horses for a month. I had to stay out of work for a week, but it ended up being two weeks for me because I just couldn't do it [I worked at subway at the time,and it hurt just to cut bread!]

    I gained a lot of weight. The pain killers stopped me up...it was a mess. But the weight does eventually come off over time if you just go back to eating healthy, especially once you're off the pain killers.

    And yes they add weight to your body, but just do what I do...subtract the weight! The weight of both of mine together is 2.5lbs, so I subtract that off the top when I weigh myself. =D

    You ladies and your implants. When I hit 18 I was a 36DD, I got pregnant last June (miscarried 4 months in) but my chest size never went down. Now I'm in a 36F. I'll gladly give someone else half of my chest.

    But in all seriousness, my mother got a reduction and went through the whole not being able to exercise, extreme pain, etc. She drank a lot of water, kept to her calories, and tried to be as active as she could SAFELY. If you gain a few pounds or lose tone, that's fine. You don't want to risk your health ever.

    You are also eating a lot because you're body is trying to heal. I've had two major surgeries, and each time I have CRAVED protein like no other. I finished a whole jar of peanut butter one day a week or so after my jaw surgery. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were pretty much all I wanted after I got my implants.

    Yay. That is my reward to myself when I reach my goal. Maybe Yoga or pilates? I hope you heal fast and are back running around in no time.

    i got mine 7 mths ago and you need to take it easy for around 6 weeks, depending on what placement you had (i had under), then ease into it gently, although i was back into walking (fast) around 4 weeks, but i healed well. You need to listen to your body.
    When was your op?

    Try to eat more protein for healing

    Why would you add weight to your body with implants?

    1, the weight of the implants.
    2. Not being able to exercise for 6 weeks
    3. constipation is a side effect of the GA and pain meds.

    lol @ Suzy I think they were asking why she would get implants, which I agree with the other person that posted, it's none of their business, it's her body and her choice :tongue:

    oh i see.

    errr, yeah, none of anyones business really. Everyone has their own reason. All perfectly valid.
    Mine was to get some shape back into my empty disgusting post-breastfeeding boobs and to give me some body confidence back.
    One of the best things i ever did for myself

    I'm real sorry about your miscarriage. I know how devastating it is, I had 3 of them! It gets earsier though and you will get preggo again. I was pregnant 6 times and I have 3 boys now, 18, 12 and 10. Good luck hon.

    Sorry about your m/c I have had 7 and they never get easier to deal with. I do have 3 wonderful children though, so I can't complain. I hope you get to fulfill your dream of being a mommy soon. Hang in there!
