Weight loss or gain after tummy tuck...

I had an anchor cut TT at the end of May this year - I've gained 5lbs since then - still working to get them off.  I'd picked up 12 or so lbs before surgery already - but I know the issue has been me - I am JUST now getting back into a 5 day a week exercise routine - that's the ONLY thing that keeps me from gaining.  I am now in the gym at 5am 5 days a week - this upcoming week will be week 3. 

I stopped gaining, but haven't lost anything.....yet. 

I had an anchor cut tummy tuck on September 3rd.  I went up by 6 lbs at the most, but on some days less.  Could it still be water retention almost 6 weeks after the surgery?  I am still wearing my compression garment too!

i had my anchor cut tt the end of august this year and i weighed 165, now i weigh 131.5.  my stomach is not as smooth as it was at first when the swelling went down, but it still looks good. vick
