#clear liquids diet

[diaryofalamb]

So the surgery is on Monday (October 2) and that means I’m on the clear liquid diet until midnight of October 1st (night before the surgery). I’m trying to fill my stomach with jello and chicken broth and I feel good. I didn’t start feeling hungry until around 1 pm and by 3 when I went to the store after the office I was just hungry enough to start making smart ass remarks on the drive over.

I tried (beef) bone broth, and disappointingly I did not like it so I gave it to the dogs mixed with their kibble. I’ll give it another shot but maybe after the surgery and with my moms bone broth, not store bought. I’ve caught myself three times throughout today thinking of snacking on something “light” but they felt more like impuse thoughts than tortured rants only I can hear. We’ll see about the weekend though.

They might have to reschedule the surgery, because I have two insurances and apparently when they tried adding the secondary insurance, my primary one needs a new claim or something like it wasn’t being taken. They put a rush/urgent order on the new claim but I’m willing to pay extra to get this surgery done. I’m looking forward to being able to redo my relationship with food. To have it be a friend instead of a confidant/jailer. I’d have to spend the night in the hospital but other than that it should be a minimally invasive surgery. Still quite serious, there’s a risk of death or life long side effects, but I feel confident in my surgeons abilities and the team at the hospital.

Surgery is at 9:45 (finally, thank the heavens cause I'm going insane here at how bad hospital communication is) so! Pen doodles before I'm drugged up on anesthesia.

OCs of mine as a comfort in my suffering (and it's easier in pen bc they're boring designs unlike fanart I'd want to draw).

The fatigue from all the blood loss is starting to really hit. I only stayed up for four hours today went out to do a bunch and came by exhausted and fell asleep ughh.

@ Anyone who follows me for stream stuff: So the prep I have to do for my dual colonoscopy + endoscopy on Friday is making me feel like Complete Ass In Every Conceivable Way(turns out when you have my kinds of problems not being able to take your vitamins or sleep meds and only being allowed to eat like eggs and yogurt and apple sauce is uh, horrible!) and I just do not have it in me to stream today. I'm sorry. Hopefully, I'll be back next Monday, but I'll keep y'all updated For now I am going to go collapse bcs my head hurts and I'm exhausted and no matter how much applesauce and cheese I eat I'm still starving!

A friend I made is in the hospital and I haven't heard from her in a few days. I sent her a text, but she hasn't seen it. I'm so worried. My mind is going to the worst places and I don't have any of her family's numbers to text and ask if she's okay...

mentally ill people who for whatever reason end up wearing the same exact clothing so many days in a row that it begins to disintegrate and will still not stop wearing it until it’s literally just scraps of fabric VS. those weird shitty rich people who ‘’can’t be seen in the same outfit twice’’ human dichotomy

(!) Also, it is true that 95% of your body’s serotonin (the holy happy hormone, and crucial for a joyful life) is produced in your guts/intestines. Just a head’s up or a subtle reminder or a life-changing transcendental epiphany (depending on how and where you are): find a diet that works for your body, so that you can be your most happy self.

I think I will spend today drinking liquids and playing FAITH Marathon Mode

[elprupneerg]

i'm not able to eat most things right now due to dental work, so naturally that's when my dash has lots of pics of very yummy looking food, most of which is either crunchy or sticky or spicy or extreme temperatures (all of which are things i'm explicitly banned from for at least the next few days and possibly longer)

[iinsawdious]

with my revision surgery coming up on the 18th i've been reflecting on the past yearish and my transition a lot lately. i'm really proud of myself for making it as far as i have, and i'm excited to see where i go from here
