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 gained about 14lbs after my hernia surgery (obviously I wasn't smart enough to avoid the scale).  It took a good week or two for my weight to get back down again.
