I didn't put on any weight in the hospital...it wasn't until after the first week I put on 4 pounds...but that was it...my doctor made me stay on clear liquids for a week after the hospital and the second week out I started full liquids...Hope You Start To Feel Better Soon!!!!

I gained 30lbs while in the hospital. It was all fluid weight due to renal failure and it took about a month to loose it.

18 lbs in the hospital....also demanded lasix; freaked out when I saw the weight gain! Lost 11 after the lasix in the hospital, the rest in the next 3 days when I was home.

I had surgery on the 18th and gained 13 pounds. I'm still losing it. It was really slow at first, but I was peeing like crazy yesterday and lost about 5 pounds.

I gained 20 lbs - had two blood transfusions, got home and had an incision open up that decided it was old faithful (good reason to finally get rid of all those ratty old towels haha)

I think it was gone within the second week home? At a month out I was down 23, and that is not including that hospital blow up weight.
