Not hungry anymore :)

Everything looks cool according to the doctor.  Went in, they gave me a shot to knock my ass out and buh bye in about 3 seconds.  Don’t remember and didn’t feel, a thing.

Came home and immediately had a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal.  I wanted to go to the diner for some lunch, but the nurse said to take it easy or I’d get bad cramps.  So I came home and had a bite, and crashed for about an hour and I’m feeling pretty good.  Got the laxatives out of my system and I’m feeling human with a full belly, and drinking a LOT of water.

Here’s something that might shock you – normally I hover around 220 lbs.  I’m 6’1″ and could stand to lose a few pounds, but I’m in fairly good shape.  I weighed myself this morning – 214.5  Dude.  I had no idea how much food and water weighed.

Had to share

Think of a half gallon.  Think of a half gallon of gatorade.  Not too bad right?  I could suck that down on a bad day easily.

Now add 238g – about a full cup – of Miralax.  Stuff to make you go.  Now your nice sweet gatorade has the consitency of jello, tastes rather sickeningly sweet, and seems never ending.  Now drink a half gallon of it.  Oh yeah, 30 min after your done?  Take 4 (FOUR) Ducolax.

I believe I am clean from top to bottom.  Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be, just have to make sure you go regularly.  I go in for my procedure around noon, they put me out, should be done in around 20 min they said.

Add to all of this – it started snowing at around midnight while I was watching season 1 of House – great show btw – and all I could think to myself was: “Dude, you know it’s going to snow too much, they’ll have to reschedule the procedure, and you’ll have to do this all over again”  Was not a fun thought.  Just called and checked tho and we’re still on.  Fae’s going to drive me over there in around an hour.

I

AM

SO

HUNGRY!!!!!!

Going to eat a side of beef, a field of potatoes, and half a veggie garden for a salad.

Guys: Honestly, besides being really hungry, it’s not too bad.  I had to do a presentation yesterday, so I didn’t want to get shaky – Fae sent me into work with a box of chicken broth, which I drank the whole thing of.  Bland as hell, but it helped.  You can also eat Jello too.  As of 6am, I can’t even drink water, so now I’m hungry AND thirsty.

All that aside, I actually feel kind of better than I have in weeks.  I think I’ve been eating incorrectly for a long period of time and now my body is taking a deep sigh.  Maybe I’ll make today the first day of a new way of eating.  Hmmm
