Post up fluid retention-how long?

I am 6 days post up abdominoplasty. I am still very swollen. I am curious how long it takes after surgery for an accurate weigh in? I am about 5 lbs heavier than pre-op and they took 2.5 lbs of skin, plus my appetite has been blechhh so I am sure I have lost weight post op.

 My really swollen time lasted a little over a week then got better.  I am still swollen at almost three weeks out but much better.  
My doc took 5lbs of skin off and 4 lbs of lipo fr a total of 9 lbs and I lost 5.  I want to lose these other 4 lbs!!

I'm 11 days out from my LBL.  I'm down 6 pounds from my surgery date.  I have not had issues with swelling so far.  My appetite has been next to nonexistent.  Thank goodness for protein drinks.  They have been a life saver for me.

I don't know how much of me the Dr whacked off.  I'm just glad it is gone.

 Amen to it being gone!  

 I had six pounds of skin and two liters of fat lipoed, but the fat was put into my tush.  When I got home from Mexico two weeks post op, I wa down e six pounds on the scale.

I never had a lot of swelling. I was in my binders 24/7 or six weeks.  During the first two weeks I ate two big bowls of watermelon and papaya daily.  I think it was a diuretic.

I think I'll go buy a watermelon today!

I just weighed my self after 10 days I was told he took anywhere from 5 to 8 pounds of skin from my tummy tuck. I have problems with some swelling and my drains are still draining I have to wait longer to take them out.  I am only 1 pound heavier than I started I believe that is good right now.

Thanks everyone for the info :o)
