Weigh in while sick

I have lost over 5 pounds in the last week, but I know a lot of it is because I have been sick for the last four days and have had no appetite. I think I will see an increase in weight once I start eating normally again (even if I stay below my calorie goal for the day). At what point should I believe the scale again?

    I had the same thing happen a month or so ago. I waited until I felt normal and was eating normal for about a week before I paid much attention to it.
