water and fluid retention......when you are sick your body tries to hold onto everything it can to combat the illness.0

Does it really return to normal? It is very frustrating. Interestingly enough, measurement wise, my arms and legs have continued to decrease...but the belly did not as it usually does.0

Think about it...when you have a cut or something, it swells due to inflammation. Same deal with what you are describing...your body is producing inflammatory mediators to fight the infection, and along with them comes swelling. I would take your weight being up that you stayed well-hydrated, so good job! It will go down in a bit, and you will have probably even lost because you had such a decreased calorie intake.0
