Hey all, I made a post a few weeks ago about getting back into lifting after a crippling one year+ illness. I'll quote a bit so you can get some background:
What up guys, want to start off by saying I'm about 145 6'3 right now, almost 23 yrs old. About 1yr 1/2 ago I got super sick, and almost died. I couldn't get rid of this infection for about a year. I was in my bed and couldn't leave the house for a whole year. It really sucked but I'm doing a lot better now and have been starting to lift again.
I was at 6'3 200 10% bf before, i got down to around 125 at my lowest. I'm trying to get it all back, but my recovery really sucks. Before all this I could work out so hard every day, and now a 45minute 3 day split once a week is pushing it, and I have no appetite.
I'm still losing weight cause I haven't gotten my diet right. I'm only getting in 1,500 calories a day right now which is horrible. I need to eat around 3200-3600 to bulk for my frame from past experience.
I still have some digestive issues, I can only eat chicken as a form of meat, and have a very limited diet, anything high sugar is no good. My stomach has shrunk and is very small and I am always nauseous and lack an appetite. I can probably force feed myself if I'm really dedicated but I would really prefer to get my appetite back somehow. I have a ton of energy so at least that is not a problem. Any advice would be great guys! Thanks so much.
