Please help.... I need to know what to eat first...

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

I have been poorly for the last few days and not been able to swallow much food - I had a couple of spoons of soup yesterday but the rest of my intake has been water or ribena and pain killers.

I have gone from 13st 5 to 12st11 since sunday night. my tummy is not flat but significantly less bloated.

I need to start eating as I feel weak and my throat is starting to feel a little better but what can I start eating that will be better for me.

I had thought to avoid caffine for a while as I haven't missed it
I don't want to leave any food group out in total but are there better things to eat first that will give me a little energy back?

Soup? Porridge?

I have got some more soup.

I guess I am being vain in hoping that when I start eating again I won't automatically put back on all the weight I have lost.

if you keep it light and easy to digest you may be able to keep some of the weight off but it's normal I think for a bit to go back on seeing as you lost it through illness rather than any other means.
I'd agree with MrsMattie with soup and porridge which is easy to make, eat and digest.
get well soon!

thanks, am going to try some soup with DS2 when he comes in from playgroup. Thank goodness for friends who can ferry children around!!!
