Has anyone actually gained the week after surgery?

Good evening all :)

One week ago today I began my new life chapter and had sleeve surgery. I'm so very happy I did..

Today I bought my very first scale I've ever owned, jumped on that puppy, and I've GAINED 4 pounds!

How is this possible? Has anyone else experienced this?
