    uh I lost 10 pounds in a week?????

    Not sure how, not really complaining, but it's confusing me.

    1. Got off Depo 18 months ago, that could be a factor.
    2. On the pill, not sure if that could be causing it.
    3. Went to Denver, not sure if the altitude could have messed with me that much.
    4. Have had flu like symptoms (tired, diarrhea, headaches, low grade temp) for 10 days. NO, I am NOT PG!
    5. I haven't drank in 2 weeks.
    6. I am not under any kind of stress.
    7. I cannot eat anything more than 1/2 the size of a DVD (only thing I could think of as an example) at a time. I am eating more smaller meals to make up for it, and Ensure.
    8. DH says I eat less when it's hot out, but I'm not over heated.

    Could it be a seasonal thing? I put on nearly 20 pounds last winter and now I've seemed to drop most of it. Could it be SAD? Seasonal Affective Disorder?

    I can't get to my DR till July 7th.

    Why can't you eat anything bigger than half of dvd size? Does your stomach hurt?
    I'd definately get checked out, it could just be a bit of a stomach virus or a more serious issue.

    This might sound coarse but check your pee. Darker and you are dehydrated. I remember i posted something similair a while ago (i lost 7lbs in a week) and it turned out i was really dehydrated. You may have lost 1 or 2 lbs of fat as well though due to not eating much.

    Stomach doesn't hurt, and I am not dehydrated. I drink nearly a gallon of fluid a day, more than the Dr.'s tell you too. I have a low grade temp, can get a little lightheaded, dizzy. I have a rough idea what it is but have no proof just yet.

    I went in a hot tub on my vacation and I don't think it was all that clean. I don't know much about hot tubs but I found out if they are not cleaned regularly including the filter, bad things can happen. The hot tub had filter issues the entire weekend.

    It's probably a combination of all those factors. I hope you get to feeling better.

    Did you just get a BA. I thought I read that. Anyway, I remember from some other threads that it is bad to drop a lot of weight right after a BA. I believe members were writing about the weight loss causing bottoming out.
