3 days post-op of TT and hernia repair and weigh less now

I thought I would be gaining weight because of the fluids. I have weighed almost every day since my RNY 20 months ago and today I got on the scale and expected to see about 10 to 12 pound gain, but I've actually lost 5 pounds since the morning of my PS. I haven't yet asked the doctor how much skin was removed but I'm expecting about 4 pounds. Once the fluid/swelling goes down how much am I expected to weigh? I know everyone is different. I guess what I'm asking is; if you gained after your surgery how much do you think was fluids after deducting your skin loss from that amount? Does this question make sense? I'm just trying to get an idea of what the fluid weight is on me now.
