Struggling emotionally

Hello, I am 4 days post op and currently pretty emotional about my weight loss. I had lost down to 368 prior to surgery and gained 2 pounds while in the hospital I guess from fluids, I weighed myself again today and have only lost 1 since Wednesday. I keep reminding myself it can be normal and part of the process but it’s sssooo hard to go through everything this past week and to see I’m still up from even prior to surgery it feels mentally defeating . Anyone else experience this?

I put on 10lbs whilst in hospital after surgery! My stomach was very swollen. You cannot fail to lose, just relax and trust the process.
 
I would really recommend staying off the scale. It is just evil and plays with your mind and emotions.
You are probably retaining a lot of fluid still so be patient and it will happen.
My 3rd and 4th week I did not lose any weight but I felt a difference in my clothes then the 5th week, I dropped like 4 lbs.
