Once when i was younger i got a really bad stomach virus too. I had also lost weight just like you too. My mom made me drink ensure to gain weight because i look really bad. So i think that if u drink ensure (it is healthy) it will help u gain weight and get back your figure that you used to have! Hope It Works I Am Sure That It Will!!!


P.S. it should take about a few days to a week possibly to gain back all of your weight that you lost, back but keep checking your weight to make sure that you don't gain more than you want or to see if want to keep gaining to reach your goal weight.=)

No one will give you strange looks for looking a bit weak after a stomach virus. Don't eat more than you feel like eating, and just eat like you did before. You'll recover just fine, but for me it works to eat more grains than normal if I want to regain some weight a bit quicker.

5 pounds isn't that big of a deal. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to try to gain weight especially after you were just sick. All that junk food might make you sick again. You'll gain the weight back naturally. Trying to gain weight like that can't be very healthy. You'll be fine don't worry! I would suggest eating a lot of bread though. Bread is fattening and it's likely not going to make you sick again. Again, try not to worry. Your body will sort this out on its own. Good luck!

I'm sorry, but you can't gain a meaningful amount of weight by tomorrow. It just isn't possible. Even if you crammed nothing but fat into your mouth for the next several hours, all you'd do would be to make yourself throw up again.

What you need to do is drink plenty of liquids - particularly water - and eat healthy foods, boring as that may sound. Vegetables. Fruits. Grains. Meat.

And it would be a really good idea to talk to your doctor about all this. She (or he) knows your personal health history, and can give you much more helpful advice and information than we can.

I think it is a bad idea to eat a lot of anything after a stomach flu. Just take it easy and eat mild foods. Maybe try some pasta. But there is no need to worry about you weight. You'll be back to your normal self in a week or two.
