What Do You Eat When You Have No Appetite?

Have had a sinus infection and still don’t have an appetite. I can manage some watermelon but anything else I can think of doesn’t sound good to me. I have lost 6 pounds since Sunday.

I drank Ensure for weeks when I was sick. I lost weight with that too. Hope you feel better soon.

Mashed potatoes, light chicken broth, soup in general. When I was sick for two weeks and had no idea what I had except severe inflammation I took detox water and bone marrow broth every day with veggies. It always gave me some extra vitamins (and somewhat soothed me)

Get well soon and take care.

BRAT diet if my tummy isn’t good

I have a friend who had a sinus infection and headaches for over a month.

She had a catscan and found bleeding on the brain.

Same thing happened to me. You have no appetite because you can't smell things properly, and you are SICK.

I gave up trying to make decent meals while I had the sinus infection, because why waste expensive food when it all tasted like cardboard anyway? The BEST moment I had was after I had a full course of prednisone, which reduced the swelling and allowed me to heal...and I could smell chicken rice soup!

Chicken soup.
Won ton soup WITH dumplings! (Oh, yeah!!!)

Nothing. It helps temporarily.

How about apricot, peach, apple, or cucumber?
Or maybe a light veggie soup.

@cherokeepatti I've found some without MSG like this one

Knorr Professional Vegetable Soup Mix Vegetarian, No Artificial Flavors, No added MSG

@SW-User They used to put MSG in them. I’ll have to check. Here in the USA they use different words to cover for the MSG.

@cherokeepatti Get well soon dear lady 🤗💐

Oyster crackers or goldfish crackers (nibble slowly), drink broth or smoothies for even more calories and nutrients without having to actually “eat it”

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@WaryWitchWandering I can’t have anything with gluten in it. I thought soup might be good but haven’t felt like making it.

I hope you feel better soon 🤗

I usually don't eat anything if I'm not in the mood. Nothing would seem palatable to me and I'd end up losing weight tremendously too.

I eat whatever I'm able to stomach, or at worst have some chocolate milk. The body will have to get working on the nutrients and in time you'll feel hungry again.

need protein. eat yogurt, you can put it in the freezer to make into a cold treat. and chicken noodle soup. get well & feel better soon. 🍵

Can you manage some chicken soup? I’m sorry you are ill. Sinus infections are awful, and can last a while.

4meAndyou · F

When the boy gets home tomorrow, ask him to make you some chicken soup. You can tell him what to do.

I eat some light kedgeree with ghee. …or drink lots of ginger tea with biscuits

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart I’ve been eating a lot of ice and drinking some water too.

Spicy 🔥 stuff?

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@sunsporter1649 oh hell no. NO more sugar for me, that feed sinus infections. I was eating some cocoa bars with egg whites & dates in it and that’s what triggered the infection. Felt like an elephant stomped my face and hurt in a lot of other places too.

sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M

@cherokeepatti Works for me
