I lost 10 pounds in 4 hours

[m1ldslide1]

I had that a few months ago. It was absolutely horrible, and my wife had it too. We learned a little more about what causes it, and suffice to say, our 7 year-old now gets in serious trouble when he doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom. Screw all you 'washing hands is overrated - poop bacteria is good' people.

Sorry to hear that, buddy. Sounds like you got a nice case of Gastroenteritis.

I've had it twice in my life and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Not even my son's mother...wishing something that bad on someone is serious self-Karma-suicide.

I've literally been sitting on the toilet, too weak to move, with the garbage pail in my hands throwing up into it whilst it comes out of the other end simultaneously.

TMI, I know...but it's one of the few times in my life I've actually wished for immediate and quick death.

I had it for THREE days and lost almost 12 pounds...I looked great though. When I was well enough to be away from the toilet for a few minutes I went to the ER. They gave me THREE IV bags and still didn't urinate for almost 24 hours later. Talk about dehydrated.

Get well soon.

Ah, the ol' shomit.
