I need my energy back

About 7 days ago i picked up a stomach bug,had the usual diarrhoea and vomitting for 5 days,im feeling better for the past 2 days but my appetite has gone to shit.I cant even finish a 50g bowl of oats and im feeling weak and fatigued,i need to get my energy levels and appetite back to normal because i have lost some mass and i havent trained.

What can i eat that will bring my energy back to what it was in the shortest time?

go to your chemist,get 6 sachets of rehydrate,drink 1 sachet with 1/2-1 full energade every 2 hours... tell me how u feel after a day.u are dehydrated and your electrolyte balance is out,that will bring it back to normal.

I first wud get the protein in, prevent the catabolic state...

I actually got chicken pocs yes at the age of 22 LOL Was like hectic sick.
Lost mass and gym went to shit...I had the same thing weak no energy...only thing i did was eat small meals and build my self up until i got to a state where i was eating proper large amounts again.

Its gonna take time but maybe some other peeps will know of something.

snok if he cant even consume something that simple digest like oats how is he supposed to consume something thats gonna cause digestion issues,if he gets salt and electolytes back in he will hydrate the muscle preventing him from going to catabolic during recovery...keep things simple.the weight loss he will experience will be from dehydration and the strength and energy level loss is from no water being in the muscle..do the simple things before u try anything drastic...

diarrhoea = dehydration. Dj is right you should get some energade and that rehydrate he mentioned.

True but what about small amounts, like half a chicken breast or half a whey shake along with the rehydrate or is that pushing it?

its not gonna be easy for the gut to process... rather leave it out and let the carbs absorb through the gut wall and replenish water levels... the body takes along time to break down proteins and its not always easy on the gut when u are sick...

Alright awesome, tiny u in good hands

Thanks Dj,ill try to get my fluids right with rehydrate.

use it with the energade to at least get some carbs in u...

Someone also told me to eat chocolate cake,doughnuts,cream buns,etc to boost my glycogens levels quickly,that way i'll feel energetic.Is this bullshit or what?

well the problem is that your body will need to digest everything...with the energade the carbs and fluid will pass through the gut quickly replenishing glycogen stores... plus u will get more minerals out of energade vs doughnuts...those will also make u feel sick,if u cant get oats down how are u gonna get high fat products down like doughnuts and cream...

Hey Tiny, it's a nasty bug, I got it myself and know a few other peeps that got it as well. Was "leaking" on average 20 times a day and had no appetite. I realise this reply is to late (I have been very busy and missed this thread) but here is what I did. After 12-36 hours of the runs already had a hangover (dehydration) so I got some electrolytes and water. I downed that stuff like its out of fashion all day long and rehydrated. But I hadn't eaten well for 48hours due to lack of appetite, so I got some LOPERAMIDE to stop the runs and manned the fuck up. For the next five days I still had runny stool but I force fed myself every last damn calorie that is part of my current diet.
Now I'm all better... Yay.

Yeah it is,it fucked me up totally,i lost 1.5kg in a week .I couldnt even stand the smell of food.But Dj's advice worked like a bomb,i drank 4 Energades and put 2 rehydrate packs in each 1,finished them over 5 hours then went to bed,woke up 3am with a moerse whole in my stomach.Ate 2 grilled T-bone steaks and some sweet potatoe and went back to bed.Woke up again like nothing happened

i work my magic in many a way
