Post op weight gain?

My wife had lap RNY surgery last Monday and when she got home and got on the scale she was unhappy to see that she had GAINED 5 lb. We figure that this is probably from post op swelling and inflammation. How long is this likely to last? Anyone else with similar experience? Thanks.
