Getting back to healthy eating after illness

I was ill a fortnight ago and couldn't eat anything non-liquid. However, all I could swallow was sugary fruit juice and plenty of soup (accompanied by bread when I could swallow again). Sure, I didn't gain any weight, but I was on a roll with losing it before.
It's been about a week since I "got better" and started eating solids again, but I've really struggled to get back to the diet. Instead I've been munching on carb-high foods such as chicken fried rice and tuna pasta so I have energy as I'm still fairly lethargic.
I returned to my breakfast shake today and have planned out my evening meals for the week but I wanted to know how everyone else got back to it and if they've got any tips.

Just do it. There's really no other way or tips other than you make sure you prepare and eat your "healthy" foods.0
