Is everyone else looking like they are pregnant?

Just wondered how other people are looking with their cysts? People keep asking me if I'm pregnant and when I'm due as I really do look like I'm ready to give birth any day! I haven't been told how big my cyst it yet- do people know when that happens? (I'm seeing the Gyno in 2 weeks) I feel like I have a big beach ball inside me but then read cysts more that 5cm are large- why am I so bulky then!!!???
Any info on how others have looked before and after surgery would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks. xx

Yes, I was totally bulging out! My cyst was removed 2 weeks ago and it was 5 lbs. I still have a bulg but it's not as bad. Like MarieMichele posted, I think it's due to swelling. Good part is I'm 5 lbs. lighter. Yay!

You will know the difference after the surgery. I can't wait to fully recover so I can start exercising and get fit!

It is very common to look pregnant when you have a cyst. Immediately after surgery, it looks even worse due to post-op swelling but it flattens out in the weeks and months after that.
