because if my implant? Im getting it taken out on Wednesday, and had it in for three years, and have gone from a size 8 to a 12-14.

what are the chances that the weight will drop off after getting the thing removed?? (please please please....)

It depends on whether you've been troughing doughnuts since getting it put in.

Fingers crossed for you that you'll by sylph-like again within a few weeks. I have no idea if that will happen but I can wish it for you. Grin

It won't fall off by magic. LARC tends to increase your appetite and cause water retention in the short term, leading to some initial weight loss. After three years of steadily eating slightly more than you need you have clearly gained some weight. You will now need to eat slightly less than you need in order to lose it. 7lb might drop off witout any effort but 1-2stone will take some work. Sorry.

I'll take wishes! I wouldnt say I've been eating worse than I was before the implant, but its not exactly been healthy IYKWIM? I could be that years of student eating has caught up with me.. .:(

Although the last few months I've been gym-ing and trying to eat better but nothings changed weight wise, so hopefully at least I'll be able to lose weight by trying even if I don't lose it without trying lol!
