bad day

Well, things have gone fairly well along my journey so far. But.

Today I woke up with a serious bellyache, heartburn, and no energy whatsoever.

Still feeling lousy tonight. Only thing I could eat was a couple of bites of egg and that didn't sit well.

Trying to get my fluids in, really tough today. I don't think I'm gonna make the protein either.

I'm just gonna bundle up and ride it out I guess.

May be a touch of the flu, I don't know.

Sorry you are having a bad day!  Keep up the fluids and try to get proteins in to keep up your strength. Do you have a fever? The following symptons are for the flu: a fever, aches and pains throughout the body, which are sometimes severe, as well as headaches, chills, a sore throat, an extreme feeling of fatigue, a persistent and worsening cough, and a stuffy or runny nose.  If you don't think you have the flu, call your doctor and explain your symptons.  Take care and feel better!

Thanks ipray,

No, no fever, but it feels like one. Dizzy, lightheaded, feel like I'm gonna fall down.

Just gonna ride it out for a day or two, if it doesn't get better by then, a trip to the doctor won't be out of the question.

This is the first ill effects I've had since about a week post op. Not even a headache since then. Good run for me.

Had a flu shot, pneumonia shot, had measles in the 70s, so immune to that.

Weight loss continues to freak me out. I think I'm loosing too fast, but I'm not ready to slow it down yet.

I wonder if I need to add a few carbs to my diet. Right now I stay under 50g a day.

Most days I surpass my protein goals and close to or exceed 64oz of water, juice, coffee. Not including a shake in the morning.

I probably just got some bug that's going around, I just tend to blame it all on rapid weight loss.

You sound like you are doing everything right as far as your protein and water.  Just don't put off a phone call to your doctor if it doesn't turn around soon.  Take care!
