You're still recovering. Surgery is very traumatic to our system. Some systems react by retaining Water. I'm sure it's just water retention. If you can up your water intake, it will help.

Hang in there...the best is yet to come :)

Yep, a lot of that is water retention. Also, your body is adjusting to the new eating style. It will go in and out of "conservation phase" (hoarding all calories you put into your body), which will cause plateaus. If you are TRULY taking in fewer calories than you are expending, it will eventually reverse itself and the weight will start to drop off. And zounds! You could eat 3500 calories and not gain???????? Are you a 6'4" man or something?
