I'm post-op, will I gain weight from Prednisone?

The doctor just put me back on Prednisone. I haven't taken in 10 years or more and have refused it in the past because of the weight gain. The other day I had a very hard time breathing and had to go in for breathing treatment and she said I really need to take the Prednisone over the next 21 days. She doen't think I'll gain weight but I'm not so sure. I almost 8 months post-op and am really losing good in the past few weeks and I don't want to blow it. Have you taken it short term and gained?
