Gain weight after tummy tuck surgery
Aargh not impressed! Prior to my tummy tuck I weighed 66 kilos! 3 weeks before my tummy tuck surgeon took out most of my fill in my lap band! So with all the stress prior I put on a few kilos and went up to 70 kg! I wasn’t to concerned as I was told that most people don’t eat to much after TT and then I would have my band re filled and can work off the extra KGs once I was able to ! So day of my surgery I was 71 kg, and I know that with swelling not to expect to walk out with lots of weight off but Ever since day 4 PO after tummy tuck I’ve been sooo hungry ! And I jumped on the scales at my PO appointment yesterday and I was 75kg!!! my surgeon said don’t worry to much as weight can really fluctuate but I’m almost 10 KGs heavier than what I’ve ever weighed in the last 6 years and it’s seriously depressing !!! I know I’m probably being hard on my self but I can not wait to be able till my surgeon re fills my band and I can start exercising !!
Same happened to my girlfriend. Don’t they put saline into your cavity when lipo and on a drip post tummy tuck op?
I know the feeling Shalako, but it will come back off! I’m currently 5 kilos over my goal weight and I’m not happy with myself either! You’ll be fine and you will get the weight off, avoid the scales for a while as swelling will mess with the numbers anyway! Just be good to yourself and try to eat the healthy stuff when you are hungry
I think it’s just one of those days ! I’m certainly not hoping on the scales anytime soon again! I’m trying to eat well when I’m hungry but it’s just frustrating, I’m not used to being so hungry !
Eat nutritious soups and healthy snacks , no fat and no carbs ….. The weight will drop off.
I lost 20 kilos in 5 months … No exercise.
Rapid loss shakes for breaky and lunch … Apples and raw veg for snacks.
You’ll be alright
I gained 8 kilos in hospital with my tummy tuck started at 72 kilos left hospital 80 kilos now 1 yr post tummy tuck op, im 12 kilos down 68 kilos, you will definitely lose it, most people I’ve spoken to have put weight on while in hospital
It’s actually so weird to feel hungry, I’m not used to it either! I’m seeing how I go over the next month and if I can’t budge it will go and get the last bit of my fill back in
I am sooooooo hearing you with regards to the weight gain, from the day of my tummy tuck surgery I have gained 10 kg’s!!!! Talk about being devastated like you would not believe, but in saying this I have had issues with my thyroid playing up so we are back to working out which dose is the correct one for me… Go back and have blood tests in 6 weeks to check levels again…. I soooo not feeling the love at the moment I go back and see my Bariatric dr in 2 weeks and I am going to say to him ” fill that fucker up” – sorry for the language but I just really frustrated at the moment….
This may be a strange question but i’m getting a warming feeling down both my legs since my tummy tuck. Has anyone else had this sensation?
Yeah and my thighs were so tight…I think it’s where they’ve been numb and are “waking up” again but obviously not 100% sure on that for you! check with the nurse or Andrew, you’d still be on weekly visits?
Yeah it’s only happened the last week or so but will ask when I go in. seeing andrew on tues, yep weekly visits
