    Seriously - eat what you can....maybe some soup and buttered bread?

    Just concentrate on getting better - don't kill yourself staying within the calories. This will be here when you get better.

    I wish I could come over there and help you. You have my complete sympathy. I'm just getting over walking pneumonia myself.:flowerforyou:

    Don't try to eat while you've got the stomach flu. If you can, drink, but don't worry about the food. You should be perked up enough tomorrow to start that again, and I'd still stick with a BRAT diet...bananas, rice, applesauce and tea.

    I hope you're all feeling better soon!

    I think I just hit the onset of a stomach flu. I'm giving 50 calories a day to emergen-c! Not sure if it will help. I also bought plain old Wonderbread so I can make the comfort food version of toast.

    A widely publicized 2003 study performed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine demonstrated that cognitive performance in humans declines with fewer than eight hours of sleep

    Wiki says so:wink:
