Got sick, lost 20 pounds, depressed as hell, will i get it back?HELP!

[deez]

I got a bad sore throat and a serious case of herpies simplex in my mouth (not the STD!) . This caused me not to be able to eat for 5 days and kept me out of the gym for 2-3 weeks. Ive been eating for a week now and have not picked up any of the weight i lost, which was 20 pounds. I was 180-185. I went to the gym and i was a freakin puss. All i could do was sit on the freakin machines and laugh at my sorry little ass. When will i pick the weight up. It took me almost a year to get that mass. Right now im on a serious calorie, protein intake. Im tryin to hit 5000 a day and around 250+ protein a day. But will i get this back? Any bros have any info. I had planned on starting a cycle anytime now and then this. F*ck!!!! Help! Im depressed!

Muscle Memory is true if the muscle you lost was actually yours. For example, is it newly accquirred size after a cycle, or have you had the size for a while ?

Thanks for the positive outlook bros. Ive had my mass of 180ish at the end of my last cycle about 3 1/2 months ago. I really never lost much on my cycle but really only gained 15 pounds due to what i believe was lack of proper eating. Anyway, muscle memory is something your body has as remembering mass you once had and then rebuilds that very quickly? Thanks for your help guys!

If you grow too fast you will most likely lose alot of your gains. The same goes for losing weight, if you lose it very quickly, it will come back.

I lost 25 natural. I didn't wait to train natural to get it back.. I went on a low dose sust/dbol cycle (sust every 5 days).. and ganed it all back in 4 weeks. That was with eating badly..

I then gained nothing for 3 weeks of my cycle.. and so I adjusted the doses to normal levels - i.e. 500 test a week... I have gained what I lost plus some fresh..

Muscle memory is definately going to make you job easier...

Thanks alot guys for the positive outlook. I ried askin some big dudes in the gym what they thought and their reply was, damn i fluxuate 20 pounds a day. Well no shit but 20 pounds is a years work for me natural. Anyways ill let you guys know if i get it back i might even start my cycle just to ge myself out of the hole. Hopefully ill get back what i had and still gain some extra. Thanks again. Peace

chill, bro.. and focus. what matters is you've got your health. again, focus, focus, focus.... think about it (and i know this is easier to say when it's not me, but) if you remain depressed and unmotivated you'll get nowhere... keep that calorie intake right where it is ... get your f'n ass back in the gym and keep it there. yes, this is a major set back for you, there's no denying it... accept it......... now fix it. best of luck to you brotherman. keep us posted on your progress. let's shoot for a pound a day... you'll be back w/in a month. go for it.
