I had an abortion yesterday
i was wondering why do I feel 10 lbs heavier??
I feel like i've been gaining weight non-stop and I was only two months along....I actually thought that after having it I will start losing weight..Maybe its too soon but if any of you know, i'll appreciate any type of feedback

it could be that you are just bloated from the procedure it has only been 24 hours so chances are your body hasn't adjusted to the interuption of pregnancy if you have no other symptoms then I would relax and just give it time i'm sure you will lose the extra weight soon.
You could always contact your gp just to put your mind at rest.
All the best and good luck.

it takes a while for your body to settle down. In particular, after a medical procedure involving the uterus, a lot of the blood flow oges elsewhere and will make you feel bloated.
