How much fluid weight did you gain while in hospital?

[bloreorbust 286]

So I seem to be holding about 15lbs of Fluid. I came in on Monday at 376, and this afternoon hopped on a scale that said 392. I'm curious what the range has been for others. Not complaining at all, since I know it will "pass" lol.

10 if I remember correctly. I lost it all and than some within the first week or two.

Hey 1 week to lose 16lbs of Fluid weight isn't too bad. I bet you're feeling better and better as it goes?

[mrs.katie 27]

I do feel better but I am Soooo thirsty. I can barely move, but that's an increase from being completely unable to move.

I gained 14 in the hospital, I lost it within the week. The more you move, the faster it goes away...

I gained 12. A week after surgery it was gone and I was back to what I weighed day of surgery. :-)

I'd read about weight gain from IV fluids here so I wasn't surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised. Lol

It goes away quickly and then the REAL weight loss starts! :-)
