For the last week I've had a cold.  During this time, my daily weight loss has increased.  Instead of about 1/2 a pound a day I've been losing a pound to pound and a half a day.  I've been eating normally.  Has anyone else experience this?

I'm coming down with a cold as well. I didn't weigh myself today. Maybe tomorrow. Just runny nose and I feel real cold. Before RNY I was always cold.

No (sigh) i'm at a stand still right now. Maybe your not consuming as many calories or your drinking extra water?

I haven't had a cold since I had surgery three years ago -- but now I am wishing I could catch one!!

In the middle of my weight loss, I got a bad cold or flu. I lost nothing the week before, 11 pounds the week I was sick, and nothing the week after. Those were the only two weeks I had zero loss. But overthe three weeks, the 11 pounds were exactly what I would have lost without the bug. And that 11 pounds was by far the most I had lost in one week, by about double.

It all averages out.
