Answers:

Part of it depends on what kind of food poisoning you had. It may be something that is hard to get rid of. Part of it is while you were sick, you weren't eating normally so your stomach shrunk and your appetite may be affected for a while. Part of it may be that the disease really bothered your stomach lining and intestines and they need time to recover from the trauma. I'd stick to bland foods like soft-boiled or scrambled eggs, non-acid fruits, broths, rice, etc. until you feel like eating something else. Just make sure you get enough fluids and don't worry about the eating part unless it gets really bad, in which case you should go back to the doctor.
