Sick, and not feeling like eating a thing!

So today I'm not feeling well at all.  Part of it is my TOM, and the other is I think I've picked up some bug.  But I can't bring myself to eat ANYTHING. I tried a protein shake this morning, and nearly lost it.  I only got two sips in.  And I can't bring myself to try anything else.  Suggestions?

You are a little further out than I am right now.  I got sick right around the second week post-op.  I resorted back to focusing on fluid intake.  Stuck to chicken broths, popsicles, did my best with protein shakes, crystal light, yogurt.  If you have a cold or anything with congestion, etc, you will need the extra fluids anyway.  Depending on how long its been that you can't eat- eventually consider seeing the doctor too!

I would focus on fluids of you can't eat especially water with or without something like Crystal Light.  BTW--dehydration will make you feel like crap.  Are you sure you are getting enough to drink?

Juice popsicles might be easier to do when you are sick. They really help me out when I don't feel like eating/drinking. Even just freezing up some lemonade might work. I hope you feel better soon Elena.

Relax. DSers get stomach bugs, too. Have clear liquids (no carby stuff though, or you'll likely regret it at the other end) for a day and see how you feel. You won't die of malnutrition if you don't eat for a day or two.
