Weight gain

Hello. I had my surgery on Tuesday. When they weighed me after surgery in the hospital I gained 5 pounds. I chalked it up to bloating and tried not to let it get to me. I weighed myself today and I still weigh the same amount. 5 lbs more than the morning of my surgery. Is that normal 5 days out??? Please be honest with me.

    It will start coming off. I can understand the aggravation. The pounds will start rolling off before you know it. : ) My surgery was 2 weeks ago. I came home 8 pounds heavier than the day of surgery
