Beermanx, don't do something like that again! LOL

Yes, you could have had a much worse outcome than you did. Luckily you were on a low dose of narcotics. In the beat down state you were, you risked things like a heart attack. The body can only take so much of a shock at once.

In the last year I consumed 4,000-5,000 calories a day and gained 25 lbs. After treatment I did the same for almost 18 months until I gained 25. Then it came pouring on. I had lost about 80 lbs both times. I hope this helps. Of course, it depends on your metabolism, diet and exercise.
