Day 4 AF and still can't eat!

[porqoui]

I am going onto day 4 AF and the thought of food turns my stomach. I know I have to eat as during my 5 day binge I'm sure I ate very little. Don't remember. Someone told me orange juice would help replace the sugar my body is craving, but still doing alot of sweating. Can anyone suggest something.:new:

Congrats on 4 days AF! I am sorry you are feeling poor. Fruit smoothies helped keep my sugar levels from tanking and is packed with vitamins. Also, try a protein shake; your body needs nourishment, but that does not mean that you must eat a five course meal. Baby steps.

Posted in wrong place?

Perhaps I should have posted this in newbies nest instead of starting a new thread? Still trying to figure this out.

Porqoui - I would think hydration is the critical issue. The protein smoothie idea would be a good one. Juice always makes me go up and down. Water is key.

Hi Porqoui, as long as your drinking, the appetite will come back, like Gd says the smoothie is a good idea. Well done so far, not drinking is the main thing at the moment.

Hi Porqoui,

A big pot of real chicken and vegetable soup does wonders. Cooking it gives you something to do as well. Been there, done that.
Take care.

I think many of us have gone thru this. I still struggle with eating properly, but am doing better. The first week I could only eat yogurt, soup, crackers & sometimes bananas. I did drink lots of water. Hope you feel better soon! A big congrats on day 4! That is awesome.

porqoui,

Have a :l to start with and a :goodjob: on 4 days AF.

I can't remember what the devil I ate my first week AF, but I do remember drinking water by the gallon.

I was thinking if you could perhaps make a couple of sandwiches, cut them into small pieces and just try and eat one or two little bits now and then, rather than be faced with a great plateful.

Cut some fruit up and just take a wee bite now and then as well.

Treat yourself as if you've just had a bad dose of flu, little and often. This will pass.

porqoui, congrats on your AF days!

I would suggest as soon as you are able to stomach regular food, try a good multivitamin, one with lots of B vitamins.

Hope you are feeling much better real soon.
