I keep getting comments

"Cheri! Have you lost a lot of weight lately???"
"You look so skinny suddenly!"

Well, here is the deal.

First, you must get yourself pregnant to the point where sticking anything anywhere near your mouth makes you want to vomit.

Second, send your 5 year old to school.

Third, make sure he gets the flu virus, this really is a must.

Fourth, get everyone else sick, including yourself.

Now, for any novices, the flu when contracted by pregnant women, can suddenly and violently land one in the hospital for Pneumonia without warning.

Fifth, get put on bed rest for a few weeks and make sure you continue on with not eating, occasionally having to go put an IV in for fluids to stave off dehydration and complete starvation.

Really ladies, this is as simple as it gets.

PS This may include having to call upon family members to come and take care of your family, having the ward take care of you, and temporarily turning your husband into a slave. As well as getting told by your doctor that you must put weight on.

Thank you SOOOO much for the advice!!! I'm on that like white on rice!

No but really- what a NIGHTMARE! Hope you're feeling better and find something that you can keep down. Seriously there are so many things that even hearing the name of makes me gag, but it sounds like you've had it way worse lately with pnemonia! So sorry!
