Hips and thighs....

I am noticing that my hips and thighs are getting bigger. After I lost weight I was still "curvy" in that area and I am 11  pounds up from my lowest weight but I t seem like my hips and thighs are huge! It drives me nuts and affects the way my jeans fit me, I just want them small again! Has anyone else had this happen? my surgeon says that it takes a while for body weight to settle after surgery and that is why their bigger now, because my weight "settled"
