Asked By:columbiasc in Charlotte, NC

I know lipo isnt a wt loss procedure. I dont need to lose wt. I am 65 " & 110 pre op. had lipo on my inner/outer thighs and medial knee. also had 420cc implants removed (considering -2#). He removed 2000L. At one week post op, I am 113# (so up more considering no implants). Does it take more than a few weeks to be close to my pre op wt? Do I need to eat less than before surgery to maintain & not gain (considering less activity now). Just want my prep weight! If I need to adjust my intake I can.

Answer: Weight gain shortly after liposuction is due to retention of total body water that is a normal response to an operation.
