Hi all! I had my breast augmentation surgery Monday. My implants were modest, 175CC smooth silicone modplus. I havent been eating much less than normal. I weighed myself today and saw that I had gained 8lbs! How is this possible? I take 50 mcg of Levoxithyrone. I cant tell if this is water retention from the hydrocodone, diazepam or what. I am a pretty fit person and this weight gain makes me want to work out sooner rather than later. Is this amount of weight gain normal??
