I lost so much weight, and I'm scared!

I was sick this week - throwing up, & the other stuff no one likes

The next day I didnt eat at all cause I didnt want to throw it back up again.

Not even a day later I stepped on the scale cause I noticed I was freakishly skinny when I looked in the mirror, I lost 10 pounds in 24 hours.

I have been really tired and it’s been a week now, and I still havent eaten a lot…is this normal after you’ve been really sick for a couple of days? Can I fix this? And quickly??

Answer #1

Maybe your scale was off. It seems highly unlikely that you could lose 10 pounds in one day.

In any event, you should eat some well balanced foods and make sure you are drinking plenty of water.

Answer #2

that has happened to me, because you lose a lot of water weight, the scale can drop dramatically, its unlikely you lost a lot of fat though. if your feeling really terrible, maybe a doctor can help. oh and theres a medicine I take when I have sickness, its called pepto bismol, its pink, and it tastes quite vile, but it helps me a lot. make sure you do eat though cause you need to get your energy levels up, just stay clear off things like, milk and cheese. soups and yoghurts are nice when your ill.
