I don’t know about THIS on in particular, but when I was in the hospital back in 2020 for my quad by-pass, I lost nearly 30 pounds in a month just because they gave me insulin injections that I had never had before in my life, because they said my blood sugar was a bit too high.

Also, the food sucked....................

But I would guess, your portion control is not under your control and that might be impacting your weight. Hubby has a several extended hospital stays and after the first few days they are giving him no insulin and he’s not complaining about food but I can see that he’s not filling a dinner plate full to the edge. Portion control is something we talk about a lot. Like the number of cookies in ONE serving, the number of carbs in one cookie, potato chip, or pancake.

Congrats on weight loss, sorry about the food.

That, my FRiend, is "the hospital 'diet'". Ironically, during my father's brief stay in both the hospital and the rehab facility, his T2 was reversed, lost 40lbs and blood sugar was on the LOW side. But of course, he reverted back to his original weight and bad habits once he'd healed.
