I Wouldn't Recommend Strep As A Dieting Plan

[becka]

Yuck! I having been battling strep since last Tuesday and I am still not quite over it yet. I just finished my first 48 hours of antibiotics and I think I am starting to feel a little better but boy has it been a few rough days.

I am sure that I am dehydrated because although I am trying I know I am not getting enough water because it hurts so bad to swallow. In the past few days I have had broccoli-cheese soup, chicken broth, a little chili, jello, a popsicle, and a strawberry milkshake.

However, when I got on the scale this morning I was down almost 4 pounds. I am sure all of it will not stay but at least there may be one positive to getting strep (although I can't recommend it ).

That is a rough way to lose 4 pounds, Becka. I hope you are feeling better.

{{{{hugs}}}} yeeeoooww! Here's to you feeling better and not gaining any back--get well soon!!!

 

[Rajah]

Um, no. Not a good way to lose weight. *HUGS* Hope you feel better soon!

Hope you're feeling better soon Becka I caught strep throat on the day I returned from WDW ... which means I got an extra 1.5 weeks off from work. They definetly weren't fun and not the way I wanted to use my remaining vacation days. I'm hoping you won't gain any of the lost weight back

Feel better soon, Becka. Strep is no way to get the scale to co-operate!

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Ouch, Becka! No wonder your throat was so sore the other day! Hope you are feeling better soon and those scales continue to show your loss.

Oh Becka, you're right that is noooo way to lose weight. Hope you are back on your feet soon. I was about 35 the first time I ever had strep and I thought I was going to die!

Feel better!
