I have read on a lot of medical sites that post-operative swelling is the cause, so don't despair yet.

Are you getting enough water?

Thanks for the reassurance. I must admit I'm not drinking much water but then I figure all my shakes and soups are made with water. I'm too full to eat what I have to on the post op diet and then drink water as well. I also stopped the anti inflammatory suppositories the surgeon gave me because I feel fine but maybe I should start them up again. Weighed in this morning and finally made a loss, lost 1kg (2.2lbs) in 6 days, a little disappointing, but I'll take it. So that's 25.35lbs, (11.5kgs) in 4 weeks from start of my pre op period to 2 weeks post op. I suppose it was too good to be true to be losing at that rate and it has slowed down to a much more realistic rate. If I continue to lose 1kg per week it will take me 38 weeks to hit my goal. I can live with that.
