Sick and can hardly eat...

[No One Knows]

Guys i Have always had probs with my tonsils. Yesterday and today theyre like swollen to 4x their normal size. Its bad.. I cant swallow much, hard to breathe through my throat (which sucks because I have a deviated septum and can't breathe thru my nose.)

I'm on antibiotics, prednisone, and lortab for pain, but I still cant eat much...

Basically I'm trying to minimize muscle loss untill i can start eating at 3-4kcals ed.

Right now i've been eating icecream, smoothies, and sometimes ill drink some soup thru a straw..

I've lost 4 lbs on the scale but it looked like alot of water and bloat went away from the reduced cals.

Any foods you guys reccomend? Or tips for not losing much mass? I know I NEED to get my tonsils taken out, but never wanted to because of the fact that i won't be able to eat for a week. This is certainly changing my mind though..

Btw, i've been sleeping like 15 hours a day so is not like im up doing stuff..
I've just been working so hard I don't want to see this progress go own the drain.

thanks..

Protein shakes with ground oatmeal mate will help a lot, put the oatmeal through a coffee grinder

but recently i came home with some of the "body fortress" 15 dollar protein from sams club and it tastes like motor oil..

Thats the last time i ever skimp on protein!!

Dude I dont mean one, I am talking five or six a day. One of the Vets here once told me, "if you cant eat it" "Drink It" !!!

Oh bro... I usually drink like 3 when I'm not sick.. work that in w/ 3-4 solid meals..

I guess its nothing but oatmeal whey and water in the blender for me!

Ive just had the same thing a throat infection, it was that bad i couldn't eat for around 7 days i thought i was going to have mine out but the meds did start to work and i got on top of it,

I alos had a bladder infections and a virus which did wipe out completely for 2 weeks, at the end of the 2 weeks i lost 24lbs, now thats depressing believe me,

I am trying to gain the weight back naturally and i am doing OK, remember if you do drop so much weight fast the metabolism which change and slow down so when you do start to eat aging the weight will come back alot quicker, i had to go on liquid meals to to try and get some food inside me but it was hard work, hopefully in the next month i will be back to close to my fighting weight.

Damn marcus...24 lbs is a lot I feel for you...like you said though the change back to high cals and solid foods will pack weight on pretty quick..

And the meds do indeed work marcus, but this is somewhat of a chronic problem for me..2nd ime this year...not to mention 1 of my tonsils is ALWAYS about double its nomal size..
