Weight loss?

Has anyone ever experienced losing weight after having your pacemaker implanted? I'm 23 and have two kids under 5. Before the surgery, I weighed anywhere from 130-140. Even before my two kids I wore a size 9 in jeans and now 4 months after pacemaker they are falling off of me. I'm a little more active now than I was before PM but not much more. My diet and everything is still the same. And ((NO IM NOT COMPLAINING)). :)

I lost weight after my pacemaker. I'm pretty sure it was because I was exercising more and more vigorously, ( I had turned into a total couch potato) and also because I was no longer eating sweets to give myself a boost of energy.

Buy yourself some new jeans and enjoy!

Could it be from medication? Maybe you are just making better food choices and not as aware of it, the difference between a REAL home cooked meal and fast food is a lot more substantial then a lot of people think. If you really really don't believe it's dietary or activity changes it could be water retention. 

I lost a lot of weight, getting a PM is good motivation that's for sure. 

Me too!

I lost almost 10 pounds in the months following surgery, but, looking back, I think I began excercising more, and I also tend to lose weight in summer (which is when my surgery was).
