That sounds like me in the 1990s
when I thought that I would never eat again.
Rich Tea or ginger biscuits. All day when I could. Eating B4 may body needs energy i.e. every 3 hours really helps.
My go-2:
Bovril in hot water. Eventually I would add pre-cooked rice to make it more nourishing. I would cook the rice mid-morning, literally holding my nose as everything made me feel worse - my gut was empty but I didn't recognise that. That would take ages to face and begin to eat
.
Hot toast. Dry. Dunked into the
Bovril when possible. The thought of butter
Mixed dried fruits and nuts to graze on. My brain didn't equate that with food
.
That porridge in a packet, name escapes me. Add hot water or milk and stir. Also in the early days, those small packets of 'Kellogg's - most can be eaten dry so are handy when travelling or in the night for a snack, straight from the box.
Cold, tinned rice pudding from the can. Heated as I begin to feel better, add a dollop of jam even.
Breakfast has rarely been problematic, lunch however: my most difficult time of day. Evening meal usually OK: chicken chopped small and stir fried: as I improve add ginger/garlic and a little veg.. Chicken is healing. Curry too, once I begin to recover. On a bed of rice. Again the brain doesn't have to think about eating.
Your gut may be hungry, add to that anxiety surges and energy levels go tattas! [bye]. Tears of fear, frustration and probably a lack of energy aren't far behind.
I have used
rescue remedy mouth spray with some success too.
