Gained mass after surgery? I gained 6 kilograms or more
« on: February 14, 2015, 12:34:49 PM »

Hey guys

Anyone actually gained mass after surgery? I thnk I gained like 5-6 kg. I was initially 63-64 kilos, and now I am 71 kilo.

If we discount the weight of the fixators, I am probably heavier by about 6-7 kilograms!

I do  not walk much and my femur muscle is getting smaller (quadriceps) but the decrease in size has stopped.

I think I am getting fatter due to the lack of exercise and eating too much? (eating a lot has helped my consolidation though)

Could some of the mass actually be bone and muscle mass? My calf is also much larger than before? Weird.

For every 1 cm of bone growth, how much bone is grown? What bout muscle??

I only read patients lose weight and not gain weight after Sx.

My mass was 64 kilo. 1 month post-op  or so I became 69 kilo. Now I am 71. I feel fatter... but peope commented my arm muscles r larger now (must be the walker training)

the measurement is also accurate as I stand without holding the walker.

definitely its fat. 6kg of muscle mass is a lot of muscle mass. you dont gain 6 kg of free fat muscle even training one year in the gym.

It is not fat. I eat 6000 calories a day, and do exercises.

Only way to find out is my waist measurement but I do not dare to measure until I do another 1-2 weeks of exercise. (I had been lazy not doing any workout for 2-3 weeks)

Not if it is your first year. You can gain an easy 10+ kg of dry muscle your first year if you do everything right and have average or better genetics.

No, not a chance--unless your calf muscles have been extremely atrophied and now you have Ronnie-Coleman-esque calves.
