    keep yourself Hydrated thats the most important thing ...gradually bring foods back into the picture..you will get your appetite back in time..I wouldnt force it but I would make sure I was staying hydrated...perhaps applesauce...might be something easy to keep down and add in some calories

    Start slow after you've been sick. Try to drink a lot of water and fresh fruit juices, then move on to soup and fresh fruits and vegetables. Your body isn't used to all that food yet, and will need the nutrients to recover properly.
