Asked By:reeree29 in San Francisco, CA

I am 15 days post op from my BBL. I am still currently 9 lbs above my preoperative weight. Wondering if this is normal. Is is swelling or am I actually gaining weight. I still have significant bruising in some areas. How can I speed up the process of eliminating the fluids. I am currently taking 1600 to 2400 mg of Motrin a day and Bromelain supplements twice a day. I keep researching and feel like I'm the only one still heavier this long after surgery. Thanks for any input !
