Yes. That's normal. You're most likely just holding
extra water.
Your body will take some time to adjust.
For now, ignore "weight". It's an inaccurate measure of what's going on in your body. Either track body-fat percentage, if you have a way to do that, or focus on tape-measure measurements (though these may also go up or hold steady at first, too). Or use a pair of pants, once a week, to feel any changes.
Or ignore your body image entirely, and focus on how much weight you can lift.
