weight loss after delivery

I just delivered on Sunday. Obviously it takes time for weight to peel off but was expecting the scale to only be down 6-7 lbs. Esp. since that is the weight of my baby minus fluids,etc. I thought when I had my DS that 10plus came off almost immediately. I am swollen a little now, I am figuring that is contributing but just curious if others have experienced this.

Wow! Those of you that got back to pre-preg. weight right away, did you gain that much through your pregnancy?
I gained about 35 lbs during pregnancy. It seemed to come off very quickly, and at 3 weeks PP I was only 5 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. I figured I'd be at my pre-pregnancy weight by 4 weeks PP, no problem! I was wrong! At a little over 6 weeks PP, I'm now about 10 lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight! While, in general, I don't think that's bad at all, I'm disappointed that I've started to gain weight back. I have a very active job though and exercised a lot pre-pregnancy (and did some exercise during pregnancy). Now I'm on maternity leave and have pretty much just sat home all day with the baby for the last 6+ weeks. This is the most sedentary I've been in forever! I think that's why I'm now gaining weight. I just got clearance to start working out again though, so hopefully that helps. I think once I go back to work....get back on a schedule and become more active again....I'll lose the extra pounds (at least I hope so!). I just have to try to prevent any further weight gain in the next 5 weeks.
It took two weeks after my first delivery for the weight to come off. Only gained 17 pounds.
Second delivery I gained 30 pounds, DS is now 6 weeks old and I have about 7 pounds to lose to be at my reg weight again.
We have our "Irish Twins"
DD born 8/7/2013
DS born 7/28/14

I gained 20lbs with DS and with DD. I was back at pre-pg weight by 2 weeks PP each time. By 3 weeks PP, I was below pre-pg weight. I think it was lack of beer.
