Not eating.

[tinkerbell23]

Heartbreak diet :0(

Just dont feel hungry and cant put food in my mouth...

Not ate much all week but havent eaten anything since 5pm sat which was 3 bits of chicken goujon.....

I had two bottles of water yesterday...juice is all i can manage.

Any suggestions? Friends taking me out for lunch later. Not fancying anything though,

I woke up a few times last night aching all over...legs, hips arms etc....xx

Can't you even face some soup? Vegetable or minestrone would be good, or even just a can of Heinz tomato soup would be better than nothing...

Tinks even if you don't feel like eating, you know you must. Now c'mon, just a little and often. We don't want you pining away on here. Hugs x

[ummmm]

Milk shakes or smoothies. Then try a sandwich. Something you can have a bite at a time. It doesn't matter how long it takes to eat it, just as long as you eat it.

Know what i mabye could have soup. My mind just isnt even thinking that way.

Mabye something nice like pineapple.

Just makes me want to spew! X

Don't worry about it... so long as you are drinking enough give it time when you are out and chatting distracted you might find you can eat ok maybe have a starter portion of something you can pick at... and avoid alcohol it will only make you feel worse...

[tinkerbell23]

Thanks...i know it seems a silly question but my mind just isnt thinking that way...ill try later. Prob should drink more aswell :0/ xx

tinkerbell - you lovely thing.

with all that you have been going through, you cannot afford to let your feelings affect your appetite. you must eat in order to have the strength to get through your woes.

try to have a light lunch - nothing too stodgy or heavy (maybe salad?)
and keep the conversation with your friend light and cheerful .. this will enable you to clear your plate.

good luck .. keep your chin up,

Tinks, the body is resourceful and will let you know when it needs refuelling. Try not to dwell on lack of food as this is going to add to your anxiety. Try refreshing types of food, things that don't need too much effort to chew, like soft fruit , piece of cake, puddings, and don't worry too much about any calorific content !! You will be aching , bless you , it is awful makes you feel like you have bben flattened by a steam roller. Go out with your friends, try to relax, I know how hard it is going to be. Let them spoil you, xxxx

Tinks, as already said the main thing is to keep fluid levels up - order a starter and just nibble. Believe it or not your appetite will return sweetheart.

Chicken soup, tinks.

[tinkerbell23]

It will. I never usually go off food...

But i couldnt even begin to think what to eat, as silly as that sounds......

Last week i was still eating but bringing it back up......but now im just not hungry.

I thought the water was enough.....sorry....but this mornings pee said otherwise!! Xx

[Psybbo]

I agree with tonyav, chicken soup would be best x

[tonyav]

I always know best, sibton lol.

[tinkerbell23]

Ill sure try. They dont want to eat till 2-3pm....just attempting to pass the time now until then x

[tonyav]

Thats good tinks, gives your body a chance to feel a bit hungrier maybe.

[tinkerbell23]

Slept ok on and off...no nightnurse! Thnk i was exhausted...achey though and shivery. Bored now....wishing the day away lol x

[puddle-duck]

Try some complan, it has all the vitamins and goodness in it. You just mix it up with some milk & it's just like a milkshake. It's what I take if ever i've been ill or am off my food.

Hope you're feeling better soon x

[tinkerbell23]

Just had a square of chocolate ..bad move made me feel bloody sick....

I love my chocolate too :0(
