I've been sick with the flu for the last 2 weeks. I haven't been able to eat much at all, but have been having hot milo's to try have something in my belly.

I'm only eating very little once or twice a day... yesterday was only 3 pieces of toast, coz I made myself.

Today I've had probably 3 hot chips & am about to have some soup I bought, with toast to try get as much into me as I can, but even then I won't be able to actually eat much.

Only this morning did I realise I've lost weight. My scales aren't always accurate, but they're saying I've lost about 5 kilo's, in only 2 weeks...

I didn't think much about it, coz I've been busy today, but I'm breast feeding DD. I know she takes everything before my body gets anything (I assume thats why the weight has dropped so fast), but now I'm getting a bit worried.

What happens if I don't get better soon... Others are having this same flu for weeks. What happens if my body has nothing left to give & I still can't eat??

I don't know. I know my milk if fine, but I'm starting to worry... Thats alot of weight loss & fast for a breast feeding mumma...

I'm not a big person, so I don't have much weight to lose IYGWIM.
