How do I build my appetite?!


Question: How do I build my appetite.?
I usually have a good appetite around meal times, but I have "walking pneumonia" now and no appetite. I need to eat to keep my strength up. Is there any tricks, tips, or medications that help with this.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Go for soup that's pretty watery so you get that hydration that your body is really craving at this point (pneumonia dehydrates you severely and can cause dizziness) but has some meat or chunky veggies in it. Something like chicken and rice it great, then add in chunks of celery or carrots or even just peas and corn that are frozen in your freezer. That was it will be easier to eat. And eat in small quantities but more frequently. Spread your bowl of soup over 3 hours so your stomach never gets too full to become nauseous.Health Question & Answer

smoke pot. as someone has already mentioned.
and i am totally serious. i have an uncle who is a doctor and while he does not prescribe this, he DOES recommend it to patients sometimes who need to build up an appetite.
sheesh.. it's really not THAT big of a deal, but bring on the thumbs down anyway.. I know you will


edit:
Hahahaha... ok I kinda skimmed over the walking pneumonia part.... that was pretty important! never mind about smoking pot! LOL! DON'T SMOKE!!!!Health Question & Answer

yes i know, marijuana increases the appetite, but you have pneumonia, i'm sure that could make it worse or burn your chest. We use to make ensure shakes for our patients that really needed the calories. The shakes are made with ensure and ice cream, and don't taste bad. But if you are feeling better and not coughing up a lung, the answer would be smoke some "pot" LOLHealth Question & Answer
