Sick with the crud and not eating.....

My beautiful little Niece shared her rotten viral cold with Auntie...yes I still adore her!  I feel like I got ran over by a steam roller! I have not been able to eat anything decently protein rich for 3 days! I can't do protein shakes since I'm so lactose intolerant.  Any suggestions? The only thing I can tolerate well is SF popsicles.

On a happier note...maintenance is going good. I'm holding steady @ 160lbs and take a size 8 pants, and a medium top. I just don't want to get off my game while I battle the bubonic plague here!

Thanks for any suggestions!

You'll be OK. Sleevers are as well situated to handle the crud as a non-WLS patient, so three days won't hurt you. Just the same advice everyone gets: stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, bland foods when your tummy will tolerate them.

Oh, yeah...and feel better soon!!

Thanks Jazz Mom!
I am not able to get any extra rest right now since I'm in charge of a important meeting here at work on Monday. Drinking cold stuff feels good on my sore throat so thats the one thing I'm not concerned about. Hopefully this crud will leave as fast as it came!

sorry you are sick. just get in lots of fluid and chicken broth. you might get soy based protein powder to mix in soup. gy works for some lactose intolerant people.   cough syrup with codeine is the only thing that makes me feel better. gl diane

I wasn't feeling great either,so I browned off some lean turky in a few finely chopped onions.  When all browned there really wasn't any fat left to drain, so I didn't.  I then brought some campells chicken broth and brought it to a boil, then a large handul of clean spinach and steamed them for a couple of minutes.  When finished,, I put a few shavings of fresh ginger in and it was ready to go.  I also added a few squirts of soya sauce for taste.  Yummy turky soup, it kind of they  a lazy version of wedding soup.
