I've had a stomach flu now since Monday. I'm eating less than 500 calories a day and I guess the side effect is I'm losing weight. yay me. hmph. This is not how I want to lose weight. I can feel the muscle atrophy.

I need to start building my stomach back up. I've been able to eat sweet potato, crackers, banana, toast and a Luna bar (although the Luna bar wasn't probably my smartest choice). TMI ALERT! everything runs through me. But the doctor said to keep trying and eventually something will stick.

What are your go-to foods when in this predicament?

    chicken soup? I love this stuff.

    I wouldn't worry too much the weight loss during sickness as once you are healed, it will come back up.

    bananas, rice, apples, toast and sometimes yogurt. I love chicken noodles (the wide ones) in chicken broth.
