Day 10 ss feeling poorley :( Any suggestions?

Hello!

I'm on day 11 SS, havn't cheated, have lost 13lbs, feeling very pleased with myself

Today I woke up with incredible burning in my stomache, sore throat and sniffles. I think I may have caught flu from my significant other who has been vomiting and streaming with it for the last week.

I am currently on strong painkillers Tramadol & Paracetamol (max dose) for a spinal disc protrusion so I'm hoping this cold/flu won't last long. I'm scheduled for spinal injections into the disc within the next 2 weeks and need to be well as I can't be sneezing and coughing whilst the surgeon is trying to put huge needles in my spine under x ray control

Whats the best thing to do? Carry on with the diet or stop. Why is my stomache burning sooooo much? I was thinking that it's because my body needs more calories to fight the infection. I have had 2 litres so far today in a fairly short space in an attempt to stop the burning, but no, it hasn't worked!

Any suggestions?:wave_cry:

hiya, ohh i have no advice what so ever but i didnt wanna read and not reply. :hug99: maybe give your cdc a quick ring?

I'm so sorry to hear you're poorly. Big get-well hugs to you!

Call your CDC and ask her advice - that's what they are there for. She may suggest you move up to 810 or something to give your body a big more to fight with.

No sense in blowing the diet if you don't have to!

agree with the others about getting hold of your cdc

sorry your feeling so unwell :-(

Thank you
Yes I think stepping up for a couple of days and avoiding carbs is probably the best option Just makes me feel a bit dissapointed though

Hiya,
i hope you are feeling better tonight.
good luck

I had a small tin of tuna last night. Still felt sniffly this morning but throats a bit better so I'm still Sole sourcing. Tonight I'm feeling much better
Thank you
