How long after TT/hernia repair should it take to loose fluid buildup

I had my TT/hernia repair on the 25th of October, they took 12 pounds off but the scale at home only shows 7, how long should it take for swelling and fluid buildup to go away so that the actually weight loss will show. I am draining about 500cc daily in my hemovac drain. Is that normal
