3 week post up & measurements!

I went to the doctor this past Monday for my 3 week post up, after I left I felt like a new person, Dr. Peters and Jen (assistant) made me feel like I would reach my desired look! I was excited!!! I vowed to not look at myself or weigh myself and just try to let lipo take its course. I feel some changes in my top area... still patiently waiting for my bottom area to go down! Monday it'll be 1 month and I will be on that elliptical after school!!!! Anyways... I took my measurements and they haven't changed really at all.

Under my boob: 38 (almost looked like it may have been more
high waist: 36 1/2 (was 37)
Above belly: same
below belly: same
tube: 42 3/4 (down 1/4)

I guess something is better than nothing...going to work on staying positive and working towards a goal this month! Even though it's going to be hard.

Depressing ...

Before I went into surgery I was a size 12/14 - if I got a 14 it was the highest at any store.... before I got to that size I was like a 16/18... I tried on my "fat pants" Calvin Klein size 16, and literally they were skin tight on me .... I just was able to button them with my love handles falling out on both sides. What the heck! Those pants were my "fat" pants and now hardly fit! I am so discourage about this surgery right now !!!! I am about about 3 weeks post surgery! I should be able to fit in my freaking fat pants! Any suggestions!? Or has this happened to anyone !?! Feeling so low right now

Measurements!

Thought I would post my measurements I took them about a week ago 1|6|15 -- I know they are late but hopefully still helpful.

Below boob: 38"
Middle (between belly button and boob): 37"
Above belly button: 38 3/4"
Below belly button: 41 3/4"
Big tube above vj:43"

I am not really happy trying to not get discouraged and still think positive but it's hard I don't see the changes that I would hope to see. I have seen a change in right under my boobs but that's about it! I did take some side by side photos to compare with. The swelling is down and I think tomorrow I am going to workout. I don't care what it is that I do but I have to move and do something...anything! I need to! I JUST GOT A lot of food for the week me and my fiance are going to cook! And all that other fun stuff.

I just wish I would of taken the measurements before to really tell if it's true that you lose inches because for some reason I don't believe it ..... ???????? very sad but trying to sstay positive. Also I weighed 207 today.... seems like that's going up as well ????????????

First of all, she was a woman! That's what got my attention first - her whole staff also were females, which made me feel more comfortable. She seemed like a perfectionist- which I liked. I trusted her just from how she spoke, and how she explained the procedure and so on. Every review I read about her was very helpful, and her staff was extremely nice. She was very professional, and honest. Not that I care how "nice" my doctor is, rather that they do a good job. She does not advertise - which I think says a lot about a surgeon. I think she could of spent a little more time with me at my pre-op. My mom (obviously being very nervous for me freaked out) And I don't think Dr. Peters handled that the correct way, but was very apologetic afterwards. Her assistant, Jen, was helpful through the whole process - at first she intimidated me and then after that I was at ease by seeing her.
