The Last Supper

My weight has magically ballooned to 146.2 so that's just great and dandy. In all fairness I did, and I kid you not, eat almost 4,000 calories yesterday... across the whole day, not all in one go. I have an excuse. I thought I was fasting today. I got really confused looking at the pre-op instruction sheet the hospital gave me; I thought it said I couldn't eat after 24 hrs before or something... so I took it upon myself to devour most of the fridge and cupboards sporadically until about 3am this morning. My thinking was, I might as well just stock up on carbs because fuck it, the next time I get to eat, it'll be hospital jelly on Monday evening, so let's just have a nice, big, good old-fashioned Saturday night binge.

WRONG. I can eat whatever I want today but I have to stop by midnight. Herp derp.

So, lovely people, what shall I have as my last supper? I'm not exceeding 1,500 calories today. I've already had a coffee with honey and soymilk (65), 1/2 cheese and onion quiche (300) and a diet coke (0). I have a pretty bad craving for Mcdonalds, not gonna lie... I could really just inhale a chocolate milkshake and chicken mayo right now. But I'm inclined to go with something more healthy, seeing as it's going to be essentially sugar and water for the next 10 days. Maybe a fuckin' big salad niçoise or something. I could probably use some protein. Ooh or a big ass fruit smoothie and some falafel and hoummous. Nom nom nom. OK so now I'm just dribbling over all the food I want and it's embarrassing... I'll stop.

Honestly, I'm scared shitless, and thinking about food is like, the only way I can distract myself. I am also hoping I'll bounce back at the end of August a good 10-15 lbs lighter, too, after my involuntary liquid diet... but that might just be wishful thinking.

I'm gonna have a severe hatred of popsicles after this week. I just know it.

I don't know when I'm next going to update. It might be sooner than you think. I'll have nothing better to do. But I warn you, if I sound high off pain medication, I probably will be. Don't judge. I presume I'll be talking about all the mice I can see on my ceiling, and how somebody needs to feed my unicorns before they die.

So with that, I bid goodbye to my cigarettes/holy red wine/holy coffee/my voice/my freedom/and blogger (for now). I love you all and oh - and a side note, if *I* die by some anomaly then you guys can all have my wardrobe. It's a pretty eclectic mix, I'm sure you'll all find a piece that suits you :)

Oh and Alfie is coming round today to give me a good luck kiss. I'm thinking I might 'accidentally' slip an 'I love you' when I'm high on morphine next week. Peace out.

    I believe you can bounce back. If I was you I would be enjoying myself too. I tend to make that mistake when I go on vacation. Smh girl I gained 10lbs last year when I went on vacation. I murder the heck out of food.

    Please take of yourself and have great recover. I can't wait to hear from you again. I know your surgery is going to go well as your recover. *hugs* miss you already.

    OMG salade nicoise is one of my favourite things to eat. I kind of modify it sometimes, but there's no beating that healthy kick you feel. I also love tuna because the kind I use, in water instead of oil, has zero calories from fat - and that's something I'm anal about. The fewer calories from fat (well, calories in general, of course, but from fat especially), the better.

    Of course, I'm taking a break from that now, but still.

    Also, and I know this is post-op already, but I hope it went well and smoothly, and that you're feeling fine and have no trauma from the tonsillectomy. :)

    Love you!
    <3.
