XP: Stay off scales??

I'm one week post op from my tummy tuck (Fleur De Leis)  and arm lift.

I haven't been on the scales since the day before surgery.  Lots of IV's, swelling, narcotics, off schedule, not keeping a log of meals since surgery, etc.

I'm drinking lots and trying for 130 gm protein daily for healing.  BM's pretty much back to normal.  Had 2 drains and pain pump taken  out today.  Still have 2 JP's in belly.

When should I get on scales??

I want to be vigilant about any gain - ( I'm not letting any forbidden foods back in and not feeling like I need to reward myself for being in pain - so sticking with plan of protein, veggies, fruit and whole grains)  but don't want to panic about the  gain from surgery and recovery.

You're advice or experience appreciated.  Thanks.

 I had a LBL 4 yrs. ago.   I would stay off the scale for about a month ( maybe longer).   I don't know about you but I swelled for a entire year.    Don't frustrate yourself  if a weight gain does that to you.   Seriously.....don't sweat the weight that you are right now.    Just try to keep wearing your compression garment and do exactly as your PS tells you to do.   I am jealous that you got a fleur de leis.    I needed one and my PS refused.  I am now considering getting another TT with the fleur de leis to remove all the excess skin going around my body.    Hope you end up with fantastic results.
