I personally wouldn't resume training until I could eat normally again and then probably wait a couple days after that. If you have a home/garage gym you can set a trash can up and see how it goes.
Hi Rip
Been doing the program since end of July
Male 44 years old
Height 5 ft 7
Weight 85 kilos
Lifts
Squat 119kg
Deadlift 143kg
Press 42.5kg (had to reset due to technique issues, I finally got it right)
Bench 71kg
Power clean 41kg (had to reset due to technique, mastering locked arms on the way up)
Making progress until this Saturday gone when I came down with horrendous bloat, suspected food poisoning. Don’t think I can go back until next week. It’s cleared up but still getting griping in the guts. My question is when I go back next week should I deload or just redo my last workout?

I had a horrible stomach flu this week. I'm going to fit in 1 deload type day as there is no way I can lift where I left off last week. I'll try to resume planned training next week.
Hey Guys
Thanks for the advice. It turned out to be a bit more serious than food poisoning. I went to the docs and got a blood test and scan - turns out I have Cholecystitis, which is basically where the gall bladder gets blocked by stones. So now am in the business of looking for a saw bones to have the damn thing removed. That said, once I've recovered from the key hole surgery I'll be able to get back under the bar and it won't affect me negatively in any way after that. In the meantime I have to cut out fatty foods and no booze (boo!). I'll carry on training though; just reduce the weights to reflect I've been off for a week, before carrying on until the operation date. Then another period of down time and back on the NLP again! Ain't gonna let this derail me!
