I gained 20 lbs. in hospital. One week post-op only lost 5!!!

I had rny open a week ago. While in the hospital I gained 20 lbs. I guess it was from water retention. Now I am home and doing everything I am supposed to do, but I have only lost 5 lb.s!! Is this normal? What can I do to get rid of this water weight?
