I lost 3 lbs this weekend from the stomach flu. I was back up to 149, I was 146 this morning. I'm not changing my ticker because I know once my appetite returns I'll probably gain immediate water weight. What's everyones experience with how your body recovers from the stomach flu? I haven't had the stomach flu in 8-10yrs! It was not fun. I'm feeling better today and I expect to be back on plan.
Glad to hear you are feeling better! Sorry you had the stomach flu - those are the worst. For me that kind of weight loss has been more about dehydration. Once I start eating again and rehydrate, I find the weight didn't really go anywhere. Sometimes it's good for a pound, but not usually much than that.
my husband lost about 12 lbs with a 2 day stomach bug. it was baaaaaad!!!! He regained only half of them and it actually kick started his weight loss motivation!!
Typically when I get it, I lose a couple lbs, but gain all but like .2 lbs back. I guess because it's just a couple days without eating, so you're still averaging fewer cals for the week.
Well those 3 lbs weren't deserved...
