Gained 20 pounds after BBL! I am trying everything to lose the weight and can’t. What happened?

Sandy S.
I am 5’7 and when I had my BBL surgery back in August I weighed 154 pounds. In less than 2 months after my surgery I gained 20 pounds! I now currently weigh 178 and I’ve never been this big. My husband swears something must have gone wrong after the surgery, as if to say my body didn’t take to it well. I didn’t change diet or routine at all. I’m miserable and now I have a gut, something I have never had before. I am trying everything to lose the weight and can’t. What happened?
