I didn't lose but a pound or so the 3 days in the hospital, but from the 20th to the 25th I lost almost 11 pounds. when I was sent home with 6 liters O2 and a JP drain- by a few days out, (even though I'd been cleaning it) I KNEW I had an infection at the drain site. I called, reported it and at my 1 week they took it out- it was badly infected. I had to have Antibiotics and another liquid to coat the stomach too. I didn't lose anything from Jan 27th to Feb 10th-2 weeks! I was panicky because I'd lost the 11 in 5 days and now nothing. finally started losing again, but when I got to 260 (started at 300) I got sick n spent the night in the hospital with severe pain in my stomach, nausea, vomiting and back pain. plus a weird severe allergy- I itched everywhere! so badly that Benedryl didn't touch it and I couldn't sleep-after 3 days of that I took myself to the hospital. I was badly dehydrated too. Although they got me back to "normal" the staff/Doctors never could tell me what happened and why. I hadn't eaten anything I hadn't had before ect.... but again kept floating weight between 260-267. and couldn't understand how I could gain!!!! I was following the parameters, getting my fluids and protein, everything for weeks- nothing past 260 was lost. very discouraging. did start to lose again last week- now 249. I KNOW that is a LONG story but do any of you know why I stopped losing and why I kept going between 260 and 267?
