What Do You Eat When You're Sick?

[Jellybean 1]

I have a bad sinus infection with a sore throat (which is why I'm awake and posting at 1:00). Because I'm still six days preop and do not have to follow a preop diet, I've been eating my usual "sick" foods: applesauce, bananas, spaghetti-o's (yeah, I know, but they slide down a sore, swollen throat), and chicken noodle Soup.< /p>

On the plus side, I've lost another three pounds. But I know I can't eat nothing but carbs the next time I get sick. While I realize I can have things like sugar-free Jello and pudding, I'm not a big sweets eater. Other than soup, what else works with a sore throat? What do you eat when you're sick?
