Totally NORMAL!
Surgery adds ungodly amounts of fluid...which means weight...<GASP> gain!
*L*
I gained 15#'s from surgery alone...
There is a bright side though!! Do what your supposed to...keep walking and by week two...You will be right as rain and will have lost this freakish amount of weight!!
Odds are, you left the hospital with 10-15 more #'s than you went in with!! Be glad you didn't get on the scale before now!!!!
No...worries Mate...breath and just hold on for next weigh in...you will be happy then!!
