BadAndee's Journal, 16 June 2008

I just got over the flu ya'll! I have NEVER EVER thrown up so badly as I did Saturday night! I was up all night, every hour on the hour. It reminded me of that pushing feeling that you get when you're delivering a baby, because JUST LIKE that pushing takes everything out of you, every fibre of my being participated in that vomiting session!! I recall after each incident, I was drenched in sweat, even my hair was wet! dripped down my back in large rolls, it did!

The upside to all that, is that the flu is well behind me now, and I've lost 4 pounds! The only thing I've eaten since Saturday evening, is a handful of jelly beans. Today I'm 100% back to normal, so I'll be eating as soon as I feel up to it. I'm sure I'll gain most of that weight back, which is fine by me. I don't look particularly good right now anyway. Eyes all dark and sunken in! Yuck!

hope you all are doing good! I'm gonna go check right now!

oh my goodness! You poor thing! So sorry you had to endure all of that...but am glad you've recovered. Could it be sheer fatigue? You have been working very hard lately. Be sure to stay hydrated and get your nutrition up. (Hugs!)

Yes, get some electrolytes in you and plenty of fluid. Take it easy, and get lots of rest! Take care! :)

jelly beans can fix anything! LOL Sorry you were so ill but glad things are looking up today. Absolutely hate being sick like that. You probabay are dehydrated and need to get some liquids down after the bout you've had. No problem though, even if you gain some of the 4 lbs back, you re on the right track with your weight, you know how to do it. Hope you feel better fast

YESSSS!!! THe best part of the incessant vomitting is that you detox and lose 4 pounds! You can pay hundreds for that in a pill or clinic..but the good ol fashioned flu does all the work for you for free :) Sorry you got sick though. Id rather break an extremity than get food poisoning any day!

how do you know it was the flu vs food poisoning..just curious??? I sometimes wonder if our bodies get so haywired that in order to start over again, it decides to have 12 hours of explosive v/d?? I find I usually get sick when Im on induction. I wonder if instead of food poisoning, its my body telling me "enough of this hard to digest meat and fat already."

I know it was the flu because it started with my daughter's baby on Wednesday. He woke up in the middle of the night vomiting incessantly. Since he's only 8 months old, it was off to the doc by 8am. THEN his daddy got it, then his mommy, then me, then my son, now my hubby! All of us!!! The weird thing was that the boys' symptoms were completely different than my daughter and I. They also had diarrhea.

Who knew Jelly Beans calmed a stomach - will have to keep that in mind. Sorry to hear you were under the weather - sounds awful! Glad to hear you are on the mend and soon up to your old tricks!

Glad you're feeling better but a real friend would've shared the flu (i could use a weightloss jump-start LOL!!) -- Sorry, just kidding, i know how miserable it can be! Welcome back to the land of the healthy
