How long does it take for fluid retention to disappear after mini tummy tuck with contouring lipo & breast augmentation?

coopno2
I gained 23lbs within 3 days of surgery, I have since lost 16lbs (I am 2 wks 1day postop). I feel my hips have gotten larger since surgery and I am carefully watching my intake of sodium & have drank only water for 2 weeks. It's not on common for me to swell, as I am extremely sensitive to sodium and salty foods, a single salty chip will make my fingers swell so much my wedding ring fits snug. This seems a little over the top to me though, I weigh in every morning, hoping it will disappear soon.
