Has anyone had actual malnutrition?

I think I may be. I have been very weak. Went to the MD yesterday, I have moderate amounts of protein in my urine. Other labs are not back yet. Had a CT that showed a possible problem with my gallbladder, a hiatel hernia, and a moderate amount of free fluid in my pelvis. This is the first time I am actually worried about my inability to gain weight back, I am underweight at this point. I am scared that my lack of calories has done some damage to my kidneys. I will be so happy when my labs come back. Has anyone had any of these issues? Thanks

Be nice to nurses....we keep doctors from killing you!

I am coming back from a serious protein deficiency, I also have issues with iron, magnesium and D.  I have come at it hard and I feel a big difference in my body, it doesn't ache everywhere, more energy, sleeping better, not bruising as much, etc.  I have been taking in 160g protein a day!  Not great for weight loss for me but I needed to get my health back on track.  Good luck to you.

I have been worried about you girlie, and hoping you would check back with an update, so I am poking you. 

I also have issues with even eating way above and beyond my protein minimums, I still need to drink 3 shakes a day to be in the low 6s - I worry about your protein and your muscles too.  :{

Will you let us know how you are?  I hope you are well and just busy.
