How much weight did you put on?

Hey, I've got a possibly silly question,,,,buy hey, I want to know :-)

How much weight do you put on once you've got boobs? :-)

My sister has HUGE boobs (not fair, she got them all, lol) and is heavier than me (also taller, different shape etc). But I've always said if i had her boobs i'd obviously be heavier and a closer weight to her.

So...... is it much?

You don't actually gain much weight at all!

To determine how much your implants weigh Multiply the number of cubic centimeters by two, then multiply that number by .0375 (which is the weight in ounces of each cc of silicone).

So, if you have 400ccs of silicone per breast there are 800ccs total.

800ccs multiplied by .0375 equals 30.

30 divided by 16 (ounces) is 1.875.

This means your total breast implant weight is 1.875 pounds.

I didnt put on any weight from the implants, but I did put abit on as you cant do any exercise for the first 6weeks. I also found (as most people do) that the GA bloated me and made me feel bigger for the first week. x

I'd a dreadful yo yo dieter anyway and knew I'd put on weight when I had my ba because of doing no exercise and eating crap. That said it was totally my fault and if I'd stuck to my normal healthy eating I'd have been ok!!! lol

My implants weigh 445g each so I would have gained about a kilo just from them.
