in Health and Weight Loss
Literally. I have been really sick with whatever this bug is that is going around and I have been eating less than 500 calories a day (yes, I know it's not healthy). All I have been able to eat is soup and jello. Anyone have any recommendations for something other than those two, that is a fairly light food (meaning not heavy like mashed potatoes kind of thing). I can't seem to think of anything and I really need to get some strength back.

    What about bananas and oatmeal? They both pack lots of nutrients that your poor depleted body needs, and they are nice and soft. Also, take some vitamin C with your meals.

    I sure hope you get better soon :flowerforyou:

    Yogurt, the good kind with live active cultures, it puts the good bacteria back into your body, especially if it is a stomach bug. Good luck.

    When I have a stomach bug, the only stuff I can eat is buttered toast and apple juice. Everything else will make me sick.

    i know gatorade and powerade have all the sugars, but drs still recommend to keep you hydrated when you're sick. you could try the pedialytes too.
    popsicles, otter pops
    hot water with lemon and honey

    it's most important to stay hydrated. feel better :flowerforyou:
