Back On Track Together
I'm losing but not the right way
I have been sick for more than a week and a half and I've had several days that I've not eaten right. I'm still losing but I'm eating more carbs than I should. I'm basically eating whatever my stomach can handle that day. If that means crackers and broth then that's what I eat. I'm bummed that I'm not losing the way I want to or the way I should because I"m sure I would have lost more weight if I was doing it right but at least I'm losing. I've lost 20 lbs since the thursday before thanksgiving.

Wow! 20 pounds in about a month is crazy lot to lose! Why are you sick? Flu type of sick or WLS related? You are right, you HAVE to eat so eating whatever your body will accept is probably most important right now. Are you able to get in your fluids? Don't let your sickness get so bad you are not getting fluids in! Hope you start feeling better soon so you can get back on track with cutting out the carbs.
Thanks, i have a concussion from an injury at work last april and now I'm suffering nausea and vomiting. It's been especially bad this past two weeks. It feels like motion sickness. I get flushes of it and can't handle anything. I'm barely getting in liquids. I get about 24-48 oz a day that's about it on a bad day. On a good day I can get most of my liquids in. It just depends.

That is NOT good at all!! I had virtigo once and it was horrible! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! Wonder if your stomach would tolerate it if you went back on protein shakes? At least then you would be getting in your protein and fluids at same time. I was given a anti-nausea pill (forgot the name but you just let it dissolve under your tongue) and it helped a lot. Hope the Dr. are able to find you relief soon.
