I got a nasty flu, and was unable to eat sleep or take a dump that wasent niagra falls… Needless to say i lost a considerable amount of weight, and the motivation still isnt even trickling back into my psyche. I was sick for a little over 2 weeks, and i still cant eat like i need too. Ever happen to any of you? Sucking out my will to carry on guys!!!
Yeah I’ve been in and out of the hospital a couple times and lost 15lbs the last time. I gained it back pretty fast. Less than a month once eating right again.
I just got over the flu dude. I was in bed for like 8 fucking days, and by the end I would have sold my left nut to get the fuck out of my house.
I am one week back in the gym and just now getting back to close to 90-95%.
It takes time man. I lost like 10lbs and was weak as shit the first few days back.
But I was dieing to lift again by the end. I missed it.
Update!!! I started out at 5’9 and 195lbs shredded wheat!!! After this flu that totally ravaged my stomach for 3 weeks, i am at 172lbs…no vascularity…no strength…and absolutely no drive to even get back into the gym. I cant describe how much i hate starting over again at the gym!!! A year and a half of killing the gym and looking like a GOD, and in 3 weeks everything is gone ROFL!!! I have set up my eating plan, and revamped my workouts in this downtime though. I am going to get back into the gym, but am not looking forward to my fellow bigorexic friends talking shit!!! You know how it goes, they all come out of the wood work when you are at your most vulnerable!!! GIVE ME STRENGTH, SO THAT I MAY STRIKE DOWN THESE HERETICS!!!
Some days you’re the dog, and some days you’re the hydrant my friend… I think most of us have been there, and it does indeed suck to be shown that no matter how strong or tough we feel we are, we’re still all human. Take it in stride, eat as well as you feel able to (I’ve had stomach bouts where I’ve had nothing but a few prot shakes all day, and they just seemed to go through me anyway), and train as well (if at all) as you can. The human body is a resilient machine, and you;ll bounce back quicker than you may realize. Stay strong.

My trusty friend MUSCLE MEMORY will confort me!!! One day i will again reign supreme!!!
i woke up this morning with a 101.5 fever. it’s weird, but i have no other symptoms other then the high temperature. well, besides generally feeling weak, but i think that come with the fever.
in the last 2 weeks i have lost 8lbs (finals) and now i have this. hopefully it won’t last too long, by bedtime i should still have eaten at least 1600 calories.
Dont fall victim bro!!! Fight against the dying of the light!!!
haha, thanks dude! Godspeed, good sir!
Happened to me twice or three times. That’s why I’m so crazy about trying not to get sick again. And even if I do I try to workout on the days that I’m not feeling too bad and force feed myself a bit. I don’t think it makes you go way back but it seems that for every week you’ve been sick you need another week or two to get back at where you were. Which is really frustrating. I can’t imagine how awful it would be to be an elite professional athlete and have this happen to you a bit before competition.
Well i think elite athletes have it a lot easier with there unlimited cash flow and ablility to chemically enhance themselves at the drop of a hat…

If your gonna toss bait, find something a little more original.

20 hour flu, consider yourself defeated.
Woot gratz man! Might wanna pick up that airborn crap and solidify this defeat!
