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.
