If you're going by your current weight - keep in mind if you JUST had these surgeries, you're going to be also counting water retention / edema from the surgery. If you are literally measuring 32 lb in 4 months, eh.... I'd rather you threw out your scale and just focused on a clean diet & exercise. However, also given you "just" had these surgeries, you NEED to allow your body to heal properly or you will be having additional surgeries later to clean up things like capsular contracture (if you got implants and not just a lift or something). Additionally a tummy tuck is invasive so needs time to heal.
As per my usual rant, the absolute worst place for women to get recommendations for "how to lose weight" is guys (any guy - I don't care how much you think "he'd never tell me to do something that would hurt me"_ - - it's usually a helpful heart and a pile of ignorance that provides the worst advice. Here's why I feel you have no business messing w/ anavar:
1) its a steroid. It will make you gain lean muscle mass If you're not already lean right now and you're not already on a functioning and consistent diet, training & cardio program, you are going to GAIN WEIGHT and again if you're not already lean, you can plan on looking thicker.
2) You only mentioned weight by the scale and not bodyfat. That's telling me you probably don't have a good grasp of the real goals you think you are looking for. You can also chop off a leg and lose 30 lb. I assume that's not what you want to do here.
3) Repeat on the purpose of a steroid - none of it does anything positive for you if you aren't already using an established, functioning and consistent diet and training program. Given you just got out from multiple invasive surgeries on your torso, you're going to be very limited in what exercise you can safely do while you're healing.
4) 30 mg of anavar is a shitty recommendation for someone who has never cycled, and again probably doesn't have the basics of a diet & training program already in place. 30 mg is not what I'd recommend. If anything 10 mg/day. And again for you, I don't recommend steroids, period. There's a whole other set of sides that you don't get to pick and choose if you want them or not.
My concern is that you're not aware of the sides of self-medication w/ male hormones. Anavar isn't a "fat burner" like so many people seem to think. Just like any other supplement, it can only support the current state of your lifestyle - where lifestyle = diet, training, cardio, recovery. If you want to drop bodyfat in 4 months, the most important thing is going to be your diet. The second most important thing is the exercise or cardio you do, subject to safe recovery from your first 2 surgeries.
I would suggest posting in the diet forum, - post up a typical meal plan for a given day. Post it like:
Meal 1 - 8am
1/2 c oats
1 whole egg + 3 egg whites
Meal 2: 11 am
4 oz chicken
1/2 c brown rice
2 c broccoli
etc.
Then put that meal plan into a food counts program like
FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal and post up the total calories and macro nutrient breakdown - % protein / % fats / % carbs. Most people do not make an accurate guess at how much they are really eating. Either too much or not enough, and frequently poor quality food choices. It is usually very easy to make simple tweaks to do a diet to get better results. And the most fundamental truth in fitness is that you are what you eat. It drives the resources your body has to fuel itself. If it is shit quality or too much, or not enough, your body will respond as it can - either storing bodyfat, or shutting down metabolism because it views the lack of food as starvation. End result is the body you have now - if you don't like, then you need to start by changing what you put in. Steroids and everything else people tell you 'will help' or 'kick start' or whatever else happy way you want to describe it - none of it matters until you have the foundation in place. Your body responds to the environment you give it to work with. If you throw in extra things to force a certain result and everything else isn't already lined up in the same direction, you are sending conflicting messages to your body, and whatever results you get will be mediocre because different messages are fighting against each other, and if it gets really bad, eventually your body just says "fuck it, I'm slowing down everything and locking it all down until you can sort out what the hell you want me to do - and then I'll do it at the pace I am designed to do it and no other."
I'd be happy to alter any of the above if you can provide more information, very specifically what is your current diet & training activity. Otherwise I think anavar is not the right tool for you and you should drop the cycle now. Or at the very least drop your dose way do to no more than 10 mg/day and read the "Women & Drugs" post at the top of the women's board.
