Sat. morning and things are rough today. Had to work yesterday and was coming down with something all day. Hot and cold, achy, the whole 9 yards. Didn't do my best on my diet although I tried to stick to protein and managed to drink the whole box of beef broth! My throat felt sore and it felt soothing on my throat. Watched an excellent movie in bed and slept, but not well.
This morning I'm am extremely swollen, holding water probably from the 4 c. of broth yesterday. However, being sick is certainly the cause of my bloated face, especially eyes and cheeks. Feel a lot of sinus pressure. Took my morning pills and vit.C. Will sip coffee and try to let the fluid move out.
I am going to totally baby myself and stay in bed until I'm well. I want to stay on track with my diet however so I most likel will be etin g easy things like canned tuna. Sure would love some warm chicken Noodle soup! I'm out of broth so that's out, I'll have to settle for coffee and tea.
I refuse to blame my diet for being sick as my boss was sick at work Wednesday and I was out and about. Just do waht I can and hopefully get in my liquids. I don't know why but it was very hard yesterday to drink water as my throat was sore and it made the water taste unpleasant. Same with today. Just - do - my- best.

I can understand that the warm broth was soothing on the way down for your soar throat. I am afraid, however, that the excessive amount of broth you drank is likely the culprit for your extreme water-retention and swelling this morning as it is high in sodium. You did the right thing drinking the regular broth, but perhaps just drank too much. I understand that drinking water was counterproductive due to the soreness in your throat, but perhaps you can heat up some water in the micro and add a squirt of lemon - the warmth would be satisfying and the pure water content would be super good for you in regards to your WL. Hot green tea would also be good. Just a thought. Praying for you healing and wishing you a restful day.
