Can an IV make you gain weight?
Hi Again,
I was just recently hospitalized and before I went in I was at 182 and when I came home after being in the hospital I weighed 190...could this all be from the IV??? I'm a little worried...I really didn't eat bad in the hospital, I barely ate because I wasn't hungry. Just curious...any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Daisy

Yes! I gained 12 pounds when I went into the hospital to have my sleeve surgery. I could not believe it when I got home and weighed so much more than when I went in. I agree with others - it takes about a week to get rid of it. Increase your water - it helps force out the excess liquid gained from IV fluid.
