The implant

Did you find that the implant made you put on weight?

Since having the implant I have put on about 4 pounds but find that if I spend a few nights eating snacks that I put on a few more pounds very quickly.

Im trying to work out if it's the implant or if it's just my metabolism giving up the ghost after having 2 children.

How many nights is ‘a few nights’ and how many snack, what sort and what sort of calorie total?

The thing is, it’s impossible to put a few pounds of fat on that quickly, it’ll likely be extra water due to saltiness of the snacks, sluggish digestion & needing a big bowel movement, or a quantity of food in your stomach. The weight will go on as fat if you regularly over eat, regardless of whether you have an implant or not.

Add up how many calories extra you are eating in snacks. I’ve spent days scoffing homemade millionaires shortbread before realising they are 388 calories EACH! That’s a lunch worth of calories on top of my usual meals, it’s easily done.

No it's never had any impact on my weight

I piled it on. And i was a fucking horrible human being too. So moody.

I would say probably 4 nights of eating snacks and I can put on a couple of pounds.

I mean yeah I am definitely eating too much in the evenings.

Before my 2nd baby I could eat every single night and wouldn't gain a single pound and now I so much as sniff a bar of chocolate and I put on weight.

I was hoping I could blame it on the implant but it looks like I can't 😂😂😂

@Flumpymc I am also grumpy as fuck! I'm going to get it removed asap. My partner is starting to hate me because my mood is all over the place.

I also just can't lose weight. Again, before 2nd baby I could just eat a bit less and I could lose a few pounds easily. Now we will go a month without eating snacks in the night time and I can only lose about 2 pounds.

Yep, had mine in for a year and put on over a stone.
Also was moody and was bleeding every other week.
Had mine out a month and have lost half a Stone already.

I gained loads of weight so quickly with it- now have stretch marks to prove it!
