Melbmummy 23 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 So my day has been absolutely crazy but in the midst of it ive been talking to receptionist of my ps and i have booked in surgery for 17th oct eeeeeek crazy excited and nervy all at once!!!! Was concerned that going up 300cc might not give me satisfaction but feeling very hopeful and positive. Im still up in the air, obv booked in havnt paid.. do i go with my gut/heart and do it?? Also really would love to talk about weight gain after surgery. First op 2 yrs ago i was in a great spot fitness wise and because i couldnt get back into gym for ages after ba i lost motivation and put on a few extra kgs then really struggled finding motivation to get back into it. How do u keep the weight off whilst in recovery?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevisionGirl 5 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 It's all about the diet. I'm a fitness freak myself and I can tell you that during these type of "down" periods, it was diet related and I didn't gain weight. Make sure you watch what you eat, it is 80% diet and 20% exercise (as we age). I used to laugh at those stats but I can see it now. Make sure you eat healthy - get a good trainer who has a good meal plan as well. Can I ask who you are booked in with? I'm having my revision the same month as you. pink butterfly, I HaveBoobs and sabP 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melbmummy 23 Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Thanks for the reply @RevisionGirl im booked in with richard rahdon. I eat really well but im such a yoyo weight wise that as soon as i skip a few days exercise i jump up in weight. Hubby is a chef and I love to cook we eat alot of veg and into clean eating. But a wine on the weekend and a handful of bullets (my weakness) im in strife:/ RevisionGirl 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pink butterfly 1,511 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 That is awesome with your upcoming surgery. Remember to eat light so that the body puts its energy into healing you rather than into the digestive process. I halved the size of my meals once I felt like eating properly again. I am a gym junkie too so I understand the difficult mental battle when exercise can't be done. On day 5 after surgery, I went for a slow walk. Then each day I gained more energy to walk faster. I made a fitness plan with my surgeon about when to go back to exercise and when I could do that. This really helped my mind so that every little bit of exercise I was allowed to do felt like great achievable goal. RevisionGirl and I HaveBoobs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melbmummy 23 Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 My ps is great like that too, he gave me more exercises each visit on what i could begin doing again. Thanks @pink butterfly pink butterfly 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I HaveBoobs 951 Posted September 9, 2023 Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 I'd say go with your gut, but a 300 cc jump is pretty substantial so im sure it will be noticeable. As for the fitness for the first w wks I'd just right them off as healing time then when you're cleared for exercise try to walk as much as possible but for the first two weeks just make sure your diet is full of fresh fruit n vegies and a lean protein source, lots of water try to stay away from anything processed that way you are giving your body the nutrients it needs to heal and also the healthier version processed foods.

RubyJadeDiamond 43 Posted September 10, 2023 Report Share Posted September 10, 2023 Richard Rahdon is my surgeon and I couldn't be happier-- I'm sure you'll have the same experience! Good luck! I HaveBoobs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cm29 58 Posted September 12, 2023 Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 Go with gut and heart and just do it. That’s what I did, booked a date before thinking too far into it. Best thing I’ve ever done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am absolutely in love with them. The size is great (a little bit bigger would have been perfect ?) and the shape is even better! Honestly, I'm really happy with how they turned out.
