You can relax, honey. You are completely normal. Our bodies have been traumatized and at only 2 and a half weeks post op you may simply be retaining fluid (which is quite heavy). As a brand new post op you are practically incapable of consuming enough to gain weight. Just follow you nutrition plan and hang in there. The weight will come off. Also, as I'm sure other folks will tell you, stay off the scales! Try to wait a week or even 2 weeks between each weigh in. Merry Christmas!

I fully agree witht he previous poster. STAY OFF THE SCALES!!! they are not your friend right now i make sure that i put at least 2 weeks between weigh ins. Another thing you might consider is what "time" of month it is i am almost three months post op and every month there has been one week where i have showed a slight gain i qickly figured out that it was normal female bloating after i almost cried on the scales the first time it happen. Relax your normal and welcome tot he other side :D
