To say I am excited about these new soups (from Whole Foods) would be an understatement…
Mmmmmmm! This goes right along with my soup-heavy diet quite well.
So far I have only tried the Garden Tomato flavor – I’m eating some of it now in fact – and it’s very, very good.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but Whole Foods is simply my favorite food/grocery store EVER. It’s even better than Trader Joe’s.
In other news, I’ve begun my latest antibiotics regime. It’s Augmentin, which is a strong version of Amoxicillin and another drug. It makes me very nauseated and dizzy, but I’m dealing with it. And in combination with hydrocodone, which I’m taking for pain, is a real bag o’ fun. (NOT). For some reason this round of Tonsillitis has been very painful – my neck/throat glands were hurting so bad the other day that it nearly brought me to tears.
Hydrocodone (which is Vicodin and Lortab in generic form) is a narcotic painkiller that some people can get addicted to. Oddly enough instead of making me tired, it actually gives me strange OCD-like behavior. After taking one, I sometimes feel the strangest urge to obsessively clean my apartment or do some grueling and tedious website work. I wonder why it does this to me? About 30 minutes after taking one this morning, I cleaned my bedroom from top to bottom and then organized my book collection. I recall that Percocet (Oxycodone) did this to me too when I was taking it after some oral surgery. Interesting…
Anyway, I’m going to keep up with the vitamins, healthy eating and healthy sleeping hours and I am confident that I will kick this damn infection once and for all!

hey rian! Mmmm, sounds yummy! Whats the calorie/sodium content on this soup…I may have to try it…
Vicodin?! Man, that’s scary. Have you ever seen House MD? He’s addicted to the stuff.
I wish we had cool supermarkets here, I think we have like one whole foods in the UK.
Anyway, I hope you get better soon.

Is Whole Foods really expensive? I want to start eating healthier and want to try more organic food but wasn’t sure about the cost. I’m in a rut about what to eat and have been looking for new ideas.
this is turning into the “girl on a diet & updates on illnesses/ medications” website. im really concerned about you. you are never really well. i hope you get better soon FOR GOOD. =)
Hi Rian!
I have been reading your website for some time now and would like to say congrats on trying to be healthier. I just lost 30 pounds for my wedding and funny but I think a lot of it had to do with soup! I went to see a nutritionist and she basically told me to forget about everything and concentrate on calories and gave me the tip that most soup has very little calories which was great news for me cause I LOVE soup! Its painful for me to be out at a resturant and sub veggies for fries, but I don’t mind having soup as my side and I never get a problem from waiters. Just a tip!
