I had the flu a couple weeks ago and went off my diet, then went off the deep end eating ice cream every day because couldn't eat hardly anything else.

My scales say I gained back the 10 pounds I lost but I went shopping and had lost a size. So whatever.

Anyway I plan to straighten up tomorrow and get back on a strict meal plan. My diet is key to me feeling better. It's just so hard when others around me don't understand that I can't have what they like to eat or drink because it hurts me.

Plus yeah I gotta lose that 30 pounds or my doc is gonna be piiiissssed! Lol.

Hi Ghostwolf: I am glad you are feeling better. When we are sick whatever we can eat we should.
Eat the foods that make you feel better and watch the portion sizes and you will be back to yourself in no time.

Hey there! I do love ice cream and totally get where you're coming from. A good tip for eating when your sick to stay healthy and stay at a good weight would be plain yogurt with some honey and fresh fruit blended into a smoothie or a bowl of cream of wheat with a little sugar and milk. I often struggle with a strong sweet tooth and those two things are a good light treat that keep you healthy too(:

I do often feel like eating grits when I don't feel well. They are similar to cream of wheat.
I mainly just wanted the ice cream for my sore throat. I also had chicken broth and hot tea with honey.
I'm feeling fine now and eating light, doing yardwork for exercise.
