    I had my surgery Friday morning and I weighed myself this morning and I had gained 5 lbs as well. I was a little shocked but I figured it was from the surgery.

    Yes you may gain weight initially from surgery, but it is temporary. Don't fret. Consider waiting a couple weeks if you can to weigh in, and enjoy!

    But, within a week after, the 7 pounds were gone again and took 2 more with them.
