Food Aversions & Midol

Jul 10, 2010

For lunch today I rolled up 2 slices of roasted deli turkey breast around some low-fat co-jack cheese slices. This is something I have tolerated quite well - until now. I took one bite and could hardly stomach getting it down. I had to throw them out because the thought of eating more of it made me gag.

I skinned a few apple slices and ate them with 2 Tbsp of Skippy Natural peanut butter. Much better.

On another subject, I have my wonderful Aunt Flo for a visit (2nd time now since surgery). Yesterday and today, I have taken 2 Midol (the acetaminophen formula - each cut in half) every 6 hours. They have brought me relief from headache and cramping pain. Last month I decided not to take the Midol since it has caffeine and a mild diuretic in it - I just suffered through the pain since I was only about 2 weeks out from surgery. But, not this month. I am back to work now and I need to be able to function.

Just thought I would share since pre-surgery I used to pop ibuprofen like candy to ease the pain and I am completely surprised that the Midol with acetaminophen is actually working. Aunt Flo is still a bitch, don't get me wrong; probably the worst in recent memory, but I am getting some relief.
