Absolutely normal! You've been pumped full of fluids and anesthesia. Just give it a few days and you will see the scales start to go the other way.

Drink your water! That will help flush the other fluids from your system.

And don't forget all the gas they pump into your abdomen so they can surge easily! I'm not going to weigh myself until the 2 week post op check up.
