Ok, so I did the thing I was told not to do....I'm a week and 5 days post op and I weighed myself and I also measured my waistline and tried to put on my jeans. Yikes!!! The weight was great though. I appear to be 14 pounds less than when I had surgery...scale could be wrong...I didn't get lipo. But my waist measures 37 inches...wholy crap. I couldn't even come close to getting my jeans over my belly. OMG...anyone know how long this will last?
