Post surgery weight gain
I had my wisdom teeth surgery yesterday. Before i went for the surgery i weighed 125lbs. No food or water, & after the surgery i weighed 127lbs. Now it's the next morning, and i literally barely ate one meal yesterday because of the soreness, and this morning i put on another .5 lbs... i was on a fluid IV during my surgery... but i'm freaking out why i'm still gaining when i've hadn't barely any food.

Its may be due to water retention or low movements, as soon as you start eating proper healthy balanced diet and back to your daily routine and do some physical activity it will come down.

You will get back to your normal weight after few days and once you are mobile again. IV fluids, medicines, saline, all these can make you little bloated, water retention in body sometimes. Which shows on scale. Don't worry. Give yourself the recovery time and you will be alright I am sure.
