living on water
I've been pretty ill for about a week or so and haven't been able to eat, I've lived on tap water for the whole week and havn't eaten anything else. I've drunken about 1 1/2 to 2 litres per day, maybe a bit more. What will happen to me? Anything bad? What can it do? I'm scared but I can't bring myself to eat anything else...

The longer you go without eating, the harder it's going to be to start again.
You don't want to begin by eating a huge meal--that's unrealistic. Try switching to juice in place of some of your water, and maybe milk as well. You'll at least be getting a few nutrients.
If you can stomach protein drinks, it might help for now. You can get some that taste pretty good, and it would help you take in more calories as well as helping your body heal.
Does anything tempt you at all? Your favourite foods? Ice cream? Eating anything, even if it's junk food, is an improvement at this point.
If it continues for much longer, you should see your doctor about it--it might be something worse than just the flu. Your doctor would probably also have tips about how to increase your food intake again.

eat saltines, they're easy on the stomach along with the soup of your choice. the worst thing that could happen is that your electrolites and salt levels get outa wack. also try gatorade, or some kind of sport drink, even white soday i/e sprite, to get some bubbles in your system.
hope yah feel better

If I were you, I would only drink filtered water. Also eat like chicken noodle soup and you will be fine. Don't worry. The best thing you can do for when you're sick, is to drink water.

You shouldn't go that long without eating.
Try to get something in your body. Try a light soup or anything that will be easy on your stomach.

Everything bad will happen. You need nutrients or you will die.
