    Sad lost 6 pounds in 3 days

    I had an infected, swollen throat..I couldn't eat or drink because swallowing was so painful..I went to the doctor today and I dropped from 130 lbs. to 124 lbs. in 3 days... I don't like being too skiny, 130 lbs was perfect for me because I'm 5'7"..does anyone know how to gain back weight quickly...Someone told me children's vitamins...I don't really know if that would work..is there something to buy over the counter that would increase your appetite???

    Ensure Plus has a lot of calories. If your appetite is gone, and your throat is still sore/swollen, a nice cool meal replacement shake would probably be best. There are several brands out (Muscle Milk tastes best). Youwould probably be well served to check out your local nutritional supplement store like GNC or Captain Nutrition. Good luck. I know how you feel, I had that happen to me earlier this year.

    It may take a little while since your body is working to fight infection or heal itself. But, if you eat healthy and just let your body work, you should be fine.

    Lol!

    Ensure along with meals is a weight gainer. Anorexic, AIDS and some cancer patients at the hospital i work for (again) were on this drink for nutritional needs and weight gain.

    I agree with VG, let your body work it's way back to total health and everything will right itself. You were sick for awhile, it's perfectly normal.

    Don't worry, you are about the same size as me and I tend to drop weight really quickly when sick too! But it usually comes back pretty quick, too. As everyone else said, just concentrate on getting healthy and your body will snap back. Feel better!

    Good sources of protein- Soy, meat, chicken, fish, protein shakes. You need a 1.5 grams per body weight pound to maintain weight and muscle. Up the intake to gain.

    In reality, you may have only lost a few pounds. It's not unusual for a person's weight to fluctuate two or three pounds during the course of a day. Depends on how much and when you've eaten, how much fuel you've burned, and when you last "evacuated". (Trying not to be crude )

    Don't go nuts trying to bring your weight back up or you may weigh yourself in a few days only to find you're 135. Don't live by the scale, as long as you look OK in the mirror, you're fine.
