So far so good just frustrated that it hurts to move. I maybe doing too much too soon. I started driving after one week of surgery. how long til I can buy new clothes? The clothes I have now don't even fit I am scared I will continue eating bad and not keeping weight off. I hate wearing the tight under clothes

Great review?

One week is not enough time for everything to settle. Drink lots of water and try to eat healthy. (I won't mention the two cheeseburgers I had in 36 hours during week 2 PO!! haha.) Don't buy new clothes yet -- just comfy ones that make you feel pretty!

Give it some time before you buy the clothes.  You will do great but the healing takes time. Hang in there and go slow for a while.
