So I was wicked sick this past weekend. Serious stomach bug on Friday, woke up at 1 am and spent the next few hours steps from the bathroom with bucket nearby. Alternated sips of clear liquids, moaning, and sleeping for the rest of the day. Had some applesauce around 9 pm, finally.
Saturday I felt a lot better. I had soup, some saltines, and some very bland plain noodles with just a touch of butter. Drank a bit of juice and ginger ale. But I was still running a fever, so I stayed at home, on the couch. (I make every effort to keep my germs to myself.)
Fever is gone, and I’ve had occasional hunger pangs, but for the most part food is utterly unappealing to me. I’m still not quite 100%. I’m having trouble eating enough because nothing sounds good. I believe that part of the reason I’m still somewhat queasy is because I’m actually hungry (I feel a little better after I eat something) but I’m having a hard time eating because I’m still somewhat queasy. And my energy is wicked low because I’m not eating enough.
Anyone else going through this? Any suggestions on how to deal?
