Takes a few days to start feeling normal after symptoms pass. Puking makes you use muscles you normally dont use that violently. Push fluids- sports drinks are cool, lotta MDs like cola products because the syrup takes nausea away. Old times they sold Coke syrup and you put it over ice and spoon fed fluids to the ill. At least your GI track is clean as can be now.

My last bout was Vegas and sausage from a buffet I ate at the first nite. So sick I just crawled into the shower, turned on the water, and laid/puked in the thing for six hours. Never ran out of hot water-casinos are huge so no hot water problems. Probably went thru a few thousand gallons of water but screw the casino; they got me sick. Figured it took 8 hrs for me to get sick. Only one to eat sausage in the group. Spent 2 days in hotel bed while everyone else partied and got action. The day I felt better we left for home. Nothing like spending $1k fir a vacation and never leaving the fucking room.
I know it's just water weight but I've been addicted to eating better & working out for a little over a year now so to have to miss a few days of working out & having my food tracking app tell me it refuses to log my journal for the day because my caloric intake is dangerously low is disheartening. Too bad it wasn't instant ketosis that occurred but I know the process is much lengthier than that.
