How long after lbl did it take for swell weight to be stable?

So, long timers, inquiring minds want to know . . .

We go in to surgery at x weight (x for me 138)

Surgeon removes y weight (y for me is 8 lbs)

We come home day after surgery at z weight (z for me, 139.8)

Now we know this weight equastion just doesn't add up. . .

So, in my perfect world, x - y = 130; yet in my real world, one week and three days after x - y = 133

So how long afterwards did it take for your x - y = z?

For the record, I'm back to journaling food items, don't want to regain; and will be starting back to walking / workouts once I get doc's okay (oh,yeah, how long did that take for you too?)

I had 15lbs removed from a full TT (cut going down belly and hip to hip).  One day I had lost 15 then i'm up.  Right now I can't workout for another couple weeks and then due to blood thinners i'm limited on getting back to my boxing, but I'm SO ready!

can I ask when you had the TT?  Oh....maybe its on your sig, forgot to check.

OH goodie!!!  More excellent questions from you that I want to know the answer on as well!!

My PS didn't tell me the weight of the skin he removed, but I know it wasn't much because he kept the underlying tissue and used it to augment my butt. I started at 126.5 pounds, bounced upt to 135 after the surgery, and about 3 weeks later hit 122 pounds and been there ever since, so I guess he took about 4.5 pounds off.

Now I'm still bouncing around a lot (4 months) whenever I exercise I swell and can pop up a couple of pounds, but then be down a couple of days later.
