I Can't Stop Gaining Weight Since I've Had Smart Lipo Almost 4 Weeks Ago?

I had smartlipo on my thighs 4 weeks ago. The surgeon said he removed 250cc on each thigh. I weighed 64kg the morning before the operation (which was my period weight as I am usually 62kg) and since the operation my weight tends to be all over the place. Some days I am 62 Kg, the day after I am 66 Kg. However, my legs look much nicer, but I do feel swollen with water. I am very careful with my diet and I've even gone back to the gym. Is it normal and is it worth dieting at the moment? Thx
