After a body lift, I am freaking out about the 20 pound weight gain. Should I be worried?

Tawan01
I had a body lift done along with a fat transfer to my bottom. I weighted 224 before I got the drains removed and currently, 3 months later, I am 244 pounds. The doctors told me not to freak out because I'm basically eating and sitting around the house. I am also aware that my body is still swollen and I am retaining fluids, Once I get back in in the working world, it should come off. I must admit, I am on summer break and not eating as clean as I usually do. PLEASE HELP, I'M FREAKING OUT.
