Asked By:oliva705 in Annandale, VA

So I had a breast augmentation 500cc and lipo to back bra line and back and side flanks. The morning of my surgery on 4/29/I5 i weight myself and I was 158, then the next morning after surgery I weight myself again and I was 143 so I had lost 15pounds from my surgery but then 2-3 days later I was 162 and until now 5/11 I am still 162 so that's 4 more pounds then before my surgery and I can't seem to loose that weight even if I don't eat and now I just feel so fat :(
