Not the way to lose weight

I have lost 6 to 8 pounds in maybe four days of being sick, probably as bad or worse than anything since surgery. Food is like teflon right now... not much seems to be getting absorbed. Still eating and still have energy, and in no pain, so I guess I will wait it out a day or two more. Could be food poisoning, although I heard there is a virus going around too. Dave

Dave, Hope you feel better soon. Remember to stay hydrated! Be well, Christine

Oh man Dave that totally sucks - I sure hope you feel better soon. Food poisoning is just horrible......If you don't get better soon you should call the doctor - that's a lot of weight to lose in 4 days! Try to sip as much liquid as you can - if you can tolerate it maybe you should try some gatoraide........ Hope you feel better soon. Best Regards, Tammy

Hey Dave, Hope your feeling better, that really sucks to be so sick. Take care of yourself and make sure you get your fluids. Hugs KimC

Hi Dave, I agree with Tammy, you should let the Doc know. Just to be safe. If there's anything I could do, let me know. Drink alot! Love, Esther

Dave, I have had the same "virus" as you're mentioning...I thought it was food poisining at first too, but, after three days of severe abdominal pain and nausea, I've ruled that out. Anytime I eat, I'm immediately ill...yuk I wish I had the 8 lb weight loss, though! I just have tiredness and the old blah feelings. Feel better soon, Paula

Hey Dave, Get that downsized butt of yours to a walk in clinic and get something for your stomach flu! Not a god idea to be in that situation any longer than you have too. Like Christine says, "STAY HYDRATED"! I know us guys hate going to doctors but especially wth our new way of eating,it's important to make sure the "Plumbing" is working properly! Take Care and good luck!

Are you feeling any better? I hope so..............

No, I am not feeling better... but I am not feeling any worse either. Strange! 1) I am hydrated fine 2) I am taking in my vitamins and protein (but they may not be staying long!) 3) I am not fatigued or in pain at all So... food poisoning or is this a "body stage" thing coming off a plateau? Lost quite a bit of poundage since Wednesday. I am more irritated (no pun intended) by the poison ivy spreading than the internal stuff... but will go in if things worsen or stay the same another day or two. Dave

Finally went in to check on all this... and as expected I was told to essentially wait it out. Another $250 to be told that there is nothing that they could do. Dave
