2 months post explant..

WORTH IT$1,450
Its been 2 months since my explant...I'm doing great and I feel great. The pain is gone and I had as far as fibromyalgia my nerves are better and I have more energy and I have a better outlook about things. I can run now without losing my breath and having to worry about holding big boobs and not having to worry about hurting afterwards. I can do the weight exercises now in the pool and my neck and shoulders don't hurt afterwards. I really feel that I was very weak in my arm and shoulder on the left side due to the scar tissue from the implant and the capsule around it. The doctor did not move the capsule so it is Frankie on its own and is getting better and better every week. I no longer feel any pain on my left side we now use my left arm now. I am so excited about getting to jog and having all this energy now since I've had my explain. I will update you again in 4 weeks. I have plenty of boobs now on my own they are still a little saggy but I am very happy with myself. When I put on a bra I have plenty of cleavage left. I like being able to put on shirts and then not being to talk now.

Yeah, I swear by the gelatin. I may be eating more than that. It's hard to say. I eat it in two forms, Collagen Hydrolysate and regular gelatin. I haven't been able to make bone broth but I put the gelatin in my soups (I eat soup or soup like foods almost every day) and I've been making nutritious shakes for breakfast and dinner (veggies+fruit+protein power+GELATIN!!!) and I have coffee in the morning with Collagen Hydroysate in it and in the evening put it in my tea. I swear by it!

Hey frisky xx I know your frustrated by the size but wow your a lovely shape and I'm so glad that you are feeling good. You sound full of energy, isn't that an amazing feeling after feeling so ill!! Who would think implants could make us so sick!! Boot camp, now that's hard core, good for you :) I think you need to go and get professional measurement for your boobies!! Maybe you need to talk to someone at the gym to get an exercise that will help you!!? I know using weights it's always good - but whether you can use them right now I'm
Not sure !!!!!!!

Hi bluebell. I'm not using free weights.. Just my own body weight. Some of the exercises that are rough on the chest I don't do.
October 10, 2014
That's whst I thought, I meant when yr free to by yr ps a lot of trainers say that weights help burn off weight!!!! Your working really hard - sounds like a mixed fun exercise routine x x

Hi, I think you look great, your size is fine, I think VS sizes people wrong, I would try for sure a band of 32 and a then cup of DDD. I will be posting pics tonight of my tiny itty bitties, that should make you feel better! I have to have my husband take pictures, too hard for me to hold heavy ipad and finger always gets in way, I told him I am taking pics for me to see progress, which I am, he would be appalled and would not understand if he knew I was sharing on this website! Hahaha. Take care, you look great. I was (not at this point during recovery) a workout freak, I do love the cardio, Zumba, ect, but found out that when I stopped all cardio for a few weeks and concentrated on free weights (is what I have at home) I lifted as heavy as I could, which is different for everyone, the weight and inches flew off....to give you and idea of what was heavy for me...I weigh 120, squats 30# in each hand, so squatting 1/2 of my weight. Anterior deltoid raise, 12# each arm. Bicep curl, 17.5 #. So what is heavy for me, may not be heavy for you...just to fatigue the muscle, muscle WILL burn fat, then slowly add in cardio after a few weeks. Have a go day...

Thanks for the info...maybe I'm working out all wrong..bluebell kinda said the same thing ad you. Dang gig..that's a lot of wt you lifted..I would be sore ad crapp. Right now in boot camp..I'm just doing resistance at against myself..them I'll work up from that..what do you think? I am super duper weak in my upper body..my left arm/shoulder/neck is still weak from implant

Be careful frisky with boot camp style of classes....easy to get injured in those. Listen to your body. If it hurts (an ache is ok, not pain) don't get caught up in the "this is what we are doing! military style of movenent.

Frisky2002vrid, I was so sore at first I thought I was having a heart attack, I even went to doc for EKG, that's how sore I was. Even though I can lift those heavy weights, I am unable to do a pull up, or chin up....makes me mad! Grrr....remember how we did the monkey bars with ease when we were young? But I worked my way up from one push up to 8 weeks later to 12! Even though I think I am strong, my upper body strength is not there!
October 12, 2014
Um surprised how weak I am in upper body now..fitagan..before implants started weakening my muscles I'm was doing pushups fine..now I can barely do one..I think I'm gonna take your advice and get with trainer and get on a way routine in place of the boot camp tohelp biyld me up...iI'll still do water stretching and zumba also..I think the excessive push ups with boot camp is over my head right now and mist girls in the class was not very thin themselves...its too fast paced to be effective for building muscle I think..

By the way, I use a DVD that I purchased on beachbody.com, called Chalene Extreme. She has cardio and weight lifting, which gives you options of using, weights, or simple bands. You can see the clips of the DVD on that website. Well worth the money, especially what we all spend on PS! This is what I have been using for the past 7 months...or up till my surgery. Good luck to you.

4 weeks post explant...not much smaller
frisky2002vrodOctober 9, 2014
hello ladies well its been 4 weeks since my input explant and I'm not much smaller. I was hoping to lose weight and also lose a little bit more breast so I would be smaller all over but as it is I'm standing as is in my breast and even seems like they are getting bigger since
my ex plant.I'm really not complaining I am grateful because I'm not deformed and I'm not completely flat. I guess I had false hopes that I was going to be my 30 year old self again with 34 B's and that top figure but I am 56 with 15 pounds on me and I suppose my shape has changed. my energy level has increased so much I have been exercising like crazy the past couple weeks. I have been doing exercise then boot camp and then Zumba twice a week and then other days I am hockey and then doing a Zumba class alone so I am doing lots of exercising and dieting of 1200 calories a day. I feel I should be losing weight but I have only lost a couple of pounds and I have actually gained weight in my waist. What is up with that?I am counting steps I'm trying to get at least 10,000 steps in a day no matter what. I'm counting calories so to make sure that I'm only getting 1200 a day.I realize that I will gain muscle but why isnt inches going down in my waist and why is my boobs getting bigger? my band measurement is 31 and my boobs measurement is 38 so what bra size would that be does anybody know?the only difference before and after explant is just a little flattered.when I put my boobs in a bra they're the same size I was before explant except I don't have all the overhang cleavage I once had which I'm glad because I hated that.so I don't have anything else much more to say I'm going to keep working out and hopefully I will get smaller and have better photos to show you as my body tones up and hopefully my boobies lift up too. wish me luck.????
