So I've lost about 5 pounds since I started getting sick around midnight last night. Is this normal and my weight will return or what? I've noticed that I look skinnier when I look in the mirror.
Yes, that doesn't sound too far fetched given the level of inaccuracy inherent in most scales, but I doubt you actually look skinnier. That part is probably just in your head. If you were throwing up and had diarrhea, then you could easily lose a couple of pounds in water weight. But it's just water weight, and it will come back when you're healthy again. Make sure you're staying hydrated. If you can't keep anything down still try to drink little sips of Gatorade.
