If your goal's to rid yourself of excess weight, cease until you heal by consuming at maintenance calories; the same goes for other situations like broken bones, etcetera!1

While understandable, healing & ASAP's what, takes priority!0 -
Rest, sleep, and eat at maintenance. Your body needs energy to heal.1

your body needs fuel to heal - if it's not getting enough fuel, it will take longer to heal. eat at maintenance and you'll likely recover sooner0

What would I do?
I wouldn't worry about it, one day of eating more than you plan to isn't going to make a big difference. It might just be today that you are hungrier than usual.
Eat what you want and get back on track tomorrow. And eat at maintenance until you feel better.0
