Had my tonsils removed today. It is very unpleasant but so far it doesn't live up to all the horror stories I was told. Who knows, maybe all those people were just being pussies.
I almost went to the gym today as a matter of fact, just to do like an hour of cardio.
I've been eating ice cream all day. Boy did I miss ice cream lol. Cookies and cream and cookie dough, hell yes? It makes my throat feel much better. I can hardly even get down tuna. And I haven't gotten the hang of swallowing and talking without my tonsils. It feels really weird. There's two massive craters in my mouth where they used to be. They said tomorrow is supposed to be hell because the anesthesia will have worn off and I'll really be able to feel the pain.
Again, I think it's only horror stories or these people just aren't very tough. But if that is the case, I've been through worse.
I'm tryin to drink a half gallon to a gallon of water. Today I've only managed a half gallon. It's tough drinking all that water but it is supposed to make my throat heal faster. Drinking liquids and eating hurts like a bitch but I'm doing well at forcing myself to do it.
Tomorrow or at least sometime this week I'm going to the gym. I'll do light ass weight maybe 1-2 sets and stair step or do cardio for an hour. No legs. I'm not even supposed to step foot in the gym for 2 weeks but I'm already going nuts sitting on my ass. Don't tell my doctor
I just have to be extremely careful doing curls or anything. That's probably all I'll do. Anything that causes blood pressure near my throat is gonna cause those craters to start gushin blood. I'm not worried at all about doing stair stepper or walking.
I already experimented, lol. Pushups hurt my throat, air squats do a little bit. Anything that causes pressure I'm not gonna touch.
Just thought I'd give yall an update. On the plus side, I'm feeling big today. My quads are lookin gnarly and arms are lookin big
I'm taking phytoserms and bridge to try to maintain muscle mass. Drinking tons of protein.
I may start my RS Transaderm. I'll be starting my Epi cycle for 6 weeks, 2 or 3 weeks from now, once I recover. So I may just go 8 weeks on the transaderm, starting it 2 weeks before Epi. That way it'd have time to get goin. Idk, let me know what you boys think.
