Reunions make me sick
Dec. 15th, 2008 02:01 pmJust got back from the doctor. He prescribed some over-the-counter pepcid to help with my stomach (I was dubious, but it's honestly worked a treat so far), and suggested that I drink as much Gatorade as I can stand. That's easy, since I love Gatorade (apologies to those who have other loyalties in the SEC). He also stated the following:
For the next 5-7 days:
No alcohol
No caffiene
No chocolate
No tomato sauce
No oatmeal
No Fried foods
No green vegetables
So there goes about 95% of my usual diet (except caffiene, which I usually avoid anyway). BLAH. This week is going to be a festival of broth, rice, ramen, other noodles, and non-whole-wheat breads. Oh, and gatorade. Did I mention the gatorade? I've also been told to avoid large amounts of fatty things, too - egg whites are fine, yolks maybe not. Cheese and I are already in something of a fight, so I'm not sure about that one. Simple proteins are okay. If I could stand to look at chicken right now, I could have some plain pieces of that. Yay. Hopefully I will not go nuts on this - I'm pretty sure I won't, given how unappetizing most food is to me right now.
Neither Kim nor Regina got sick, but Regina told me that the girl who organized the reunion did. And possibly other people, I don't know. I wrote to the organizer and I'll see what she says. Geez.
