Don't feel too bad love. When it is all over you get to experience one of the best things in life - an all-you-can-eat (and get fat) rebound dinner at your favorite eating place. So it should leave both some bad and good memories for you. :)

On the plus side: good chance to lose weight. How long is this for? I presume nuts are out of the question, too, right?

Would some form of cocoa drink, not involving any milk also be acceptable? Because that's something to vary your diet...

[Kathryn's influence has me trying to eat healthily at present. A great realisation, which of course is useless to you at present is that mini milks are actually really really healthy snacks - they're just milk!]

This is just until Thursday, I hope, and is to give everything from the stomach down a break from what I got it to experience last week. Apparently I was premature to start eating again...

I can't have nuts, the rule is anything that's a clear liquid is OK. Cocoa even without milk is probably dodgy, though it's a thought nonetheless.

I used to love Mini Milks - I never much liked any other kind of ice cream van related things, actually.

You should seriously consider starting treating yourself to them again, if you can find them...

[The cocoa idea is because I can't see how that's worse than tea or coffee, if there is no cocoa butter involved...]

Well, you've got me beat.

Something tells me that you're never going to have any sort of seafood ever again after this.

At the moment, absolutely anything that isn't in liquid form sounds quite delicious... the food poisoning is over, and this whole thing probably just came up as a knock-on effect (or it could have been waiting to happen anyway). Surprisingly I don't find the idea of sushi repellent, although it's true that I have to remember not to scroll down the front of my LJ page in case I catch a glimpse of the plate of it I ate last week.

You can have soft drinks? Like Coca-Cola? That seems out of place on the list.
