Exercise Affecting Smart Lipo Results?

It's been 7.5 weeks since my smart lipo and I barely see results. Right after my smart lipo procedure (abdomen) I was swollen for about 2 wks. It went down significantly, and it looked soo great. Now I'm doing cardio (which my surgeon highly recommended) and I feel big again. My belly is a little lumpy, but why is my waist big again? I'm really not happy, went to a great doctor and I'm shocked what's happening at the moment. Any thoughts?
