A delicious lunch. But... / myLot

I could not eat all the salmon I baked. It was delicious but too much. Funny but since I was ill, I can only eat a very reasonable amount of food. And I am not interested in drinking either. I wonder if the beneficial bacterias made their suitcases and left for good. I have been having probiotics to call them back, but still the big appetite has not come back. I don´t want to gain weight but I am used to have fun eating. And now part of it is just not here. Meanwhile I will be happy that I have not gained back the weight that I lost while I was ill. And tomorrow I will start my therapy so I might have more appetite. Are your eating habits changed when you get ill?

You really should be getting your fluids. That's even more important than eating a lot. Depending on how sick I am, I usually can eat if I'm not too ill.

I usually lose my appetite when I'm not feeling well.

I discovered that I would not have to make any effort to maintain this weight. I don´t want to eat more.

So far it is rare for me to get sick. The most I have ever had is allergies.

That can be annoying.

Mine often are for a few days. But then I get back to normal.

I go off food when I'm ill. I eat way, way less than I used to but I don't lose weight.

This is the first time in my life that I have felt so bad. And I lost 10 kilos in a week. I don´t put on weight easily. So maybe I will stay with this weight for some time.

If I don't feel good my eating is definitely impacted. Sorry to hear you are going through this. Eating is such a highlight of my life. I do not want to lose my appetite.

That´s how I feel. Ever since I´m older and live alone, eating has replaced other interests in my life. I even quit smoking over a decade ago. But now a piece of salmon that used to mean one seving is turned into 3 meals.
