Ok, released from the hospital at 2pm yesterday and came home to find that after being on an IV pump for 3 days, I had GAINED 6lbs. I can see that my fingers and toes are swollen so it's obvious that it's jus****er, but, it is SO frustrating to go through all this pain and suffering to see the scale moving in the wrong direction. Seriously?

I'm not actually worried, just venting...

When did the scale start reversing directions for you?

I haven't gotten on a real scale, actually, but I thought the Wii Fit would be easy gentle exercise, but I forgot they weigh you before you can play. Oh well...

I am 3 months out but gained 26 lbs in the hospital. The doctor was upset the nurses weighed me because I was so upset. I was in ICU for 3 days then surgical floor for a week. It all came off quickly and then some.! Good luck!
