Friday, weight was 347 Today, weight is 343. By NO means am I actually counting this though. I woke up Saturday with sore ears, sore throat, coughing slightly. By yesterday, it is severe sinus drainage to the point where I cannot eat anything because the drainage is soo bad that it makes me nauseated and I have been throwing up since yesterday morning. I can't sleep, up all night coughing. I went to doctor saturday before it was this bad, and it was a sinus infection, but now, I am starting to wheeze a bit... What do u all eat when you are sick?? I don't want to get stuck making bad choices like ice cream and other snacks instead of meals, but just don't have the energy to cook either.

Sounds a bit cliche', but I always have chicken broth or chicken noodle soup when I'm sick with sinusy stuff.  It never fails me! :)  Hope you are feeling better soon.

If you are looking for something cool try sugar free popsicles they will help to ease your throat and not make you too warm in this summer weather.  I would also have to agree with Lois & Kelly that chicken broth/soup is the best bet for a meal with some nutrients that will be gentle on your tummy.  I do hope you feel better soon there is nothing worse than a bad cold in the summer.

This sounds like a joke, but it's not.  I discovered, QUITE by accident, that a little Chinese hot mustard does WONDERS for clearing up stuffy/draining sinuses!  If you like it, put it on an egg roll or anything you can think of putting it on - works WONDERS on me!!!  Just be sure you keep working on getting in protein, and DO NOT let yourself dehydrate!

When I can't keep anything down, I sip water and then eat whatever will stay put.  I know that's not the best advice but I figure I can rectify things in the next few days but without some sort of nutrisian, I won't be able to fight off whatever it is anyways.  And if it sounds good, for me it generally stays down... Hope you feel better SOON!!
