Hi Peg! I know you're bumming right now but I wanted you to know that I had a similar experience. They had weighed me prior to leaving the hospital, in this amazing hospital bed I had. They said my weight was 234. Since I'd entered the hospital at 215, I thought they'd made a mistake. When I went into my doctor for my 3 week follow up, I was still swollen and holding fluids and I actually weighed more than I weighed the first time I visited him at 218. I was up 4 lbs! Man....talk about depressing! Well, I saw him again 3 weeks later and I'd dropped the extra weight plus all that I should have in the first place! My point is that you probably gained weight in the hospital due to all the IVs and such and you may have left the hospital heavier than you were when you went in. I bet next time you'll see a big drop. Keep the faith! Love and hugs!
