i have mono and i’m trying to maintain my current weight... advice?

I’m female, 20, 130lbs, very active for the last 5 years of my life (do pro workouts 4 days a week; I used to be very overweight - 170lbs - and at serious risk for diabetes) but I contracted mononucleosis and will be bedridden for a good month or so, according to my doctor :(

I have such a crippling fear that I’m gonna gain weight and my appearance is gonna be altered.. That I need to ‘earn’ my food first, so not being able to workout has been difficult...

But I am talking to my therapist about it so I am getting professional help

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on maintaining weight and remaining healthy/fit whilst one is sick and bedridden? With something like mono I know I can’t afford to do any workouts until I’m healed because otherwise my spleen (which is enlarged) is liable to rupturing and that could result in me staying inactive for longer.

I have the immune system of a bear so it’s been years since something like this has forced me to sit still, hence why I’m asking for advice

Thank you so much!
