If you already have the whey powder, please start using it to boost yourself back up. Every single day push yourself to take in a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water. if you can somehow take more in do it. I loved Davidcpa's idea about drinking a can of boost and water every hour. So when it turns 9am drink a boost at 10 am drink a bottle of water at 11 am have another boost, etc. Boost makes a very high calorie drink which has 560 calories in it which will help by making it less you have to drink to hit your calories for the day. I bet if you push yourself to take more in you will begin to feel better.
Hang in there, you already went thru the very worst of this awful illness.
