    Not "worried", just perplexed. I really don't understand why I didn't lose weight. I understand this has put me back a week or so in terms of lifting and dieting, and that is ok, but I don't really understand.

    Gastro issues use water in interesting ways. Even if you lost a lot of water, your body might have been retaining it, too. Drink up, and you might even sip some Gatorade if you can for electrolytes.

    OK that makes sense - thanks. Rest, water and maintenance calories are in order til I'm on my feet again :).
