I didn’t get on the scale but i felt the same way. But you have to realize that they kept you on a constant bag of saline why you were there. And that’s why they also tell you to move around to release the gas . My stomach was huge when i went home. I had my surgery on Monday the 29th. Now when i look at my stomach today it has went down tremendously. It’s smaller then before surgery. Just continue to walk and don’t get back on the scale. It’s your enemy . Lol
