Concerned about my weightloss since injury

When I was injured last week, I was worried about stalling in my weightloss or gaining. I realize that my recovery is going to last at best 3 weeks. Well tomorrow is the end of my first week of bed rest, i get up to grab something to eat OR to use the restroom... i'm working on work stuff when I'm awake... and my main issue is to try to keep hydrated.

I think I'm staying minimally hydrated- my nausea from the pain meds has been bad. But, anyway... I'm droning on... in 6 days I've lost 6 lbs.

When I got hurt on Friday, I weighed in at 194.8, today I'm 188.2. I'm HAPPY to have lost weight, but concerned that my body is starving.

Yesterday I kept down about 3 tablespoons of mac and cheese and 5 popsicles. (I found popsicles best to keep down because they go down so slow)

Today was a bit better, even though the food I ate was junk. I had 3 thin mint girl scout cookies, two bites of a frosty, and 5 frenchfries from Wendy's. And so far 3 popsicles.

My nutritionist said don't worry about eating, just stay hydrated so I don't end up in the hospital.

any one else ever been in my position... and what worked for them? Today I'm craving fettucine, so my hubby is bringing me home some from Fazolis. BUT... I doubt I'll eat more than a few bites anyway.
