So, I am getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow…
…and I am so scared. My appointment is at 10:45 and I can’t eat or drink anything (including water) after 12am. They are giving me Nitrous Oxide and I’m going to be sedated so I’m not going to feel a thing. I have 2 impacted teeth, 1 partially impacted, and 1 regular one. Jeff and I went to the store today and bought gauze, applesauce, and jello. We also stopped at an Italian cafe near my apartment called Aromi d’Italia to pick up a container of Gelato for me to eat tomorrow. I picked two flavors: Irish Cream and Hazelnut and eating ice cream all day is the only thing I’m looking forward to. I also got a kiddie size cup of the mocha cappuccino flavor to eat for a snack. 
But let’s back up a little bit. When I last left you, I was baking brownies
They are so good. Ghriardelli sure knows how to make a brownie mix.
I’ve shown some restraint by not eating the entire pan of brownies.
Instead of going to the gym yesterday morning, I caught up on google reader…finally!!! I was so happy to be able to just sit around and read blogs. I haven’t been able to do that since the semester started. After reading blogs for a while, I made myself a nice warm bowl of banana oats
3 hours, more blog reading, and 2 clementines later, I headed tothe gym. I haven’t had an afternoon workout in a long time. It was great! I made sure to make it a good one since I’m not going to be able to work out for a couple days. I tried a new machine called the Summit Trainer for 15 minutes and then worked out on the treadmill for the rest of the time.
I was really craving pizza so I was excited when I got a text from Jeff asking to go to Unos for dinner to celebrate the end of the semester. To hold me over until Jeff got out of his final at 5:30, I had some granola with vanilla soy milk when I got home from the gym.
Then I got ready and drove to the mall to meet Jeff.
Even though I was set on pizza when I left my apartment, I pulled a Meghann and was really craving a salad when I got to the restaurant. So, I ordered the Spinach, Chicken, and Gorgonzola Salad
With Honey Glazed Walnuts, Red Onion, Green Apples, Ocean Spray® Sweetened Dried Cranberries and our Classic Vinaigrette
I asked for the dressing on the side and ate most of the salad.
We stopped at Starbucks on the way out of the mall and I got a 2 pump nonfat Peppermint Mocha
I slept in this morning because I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep tonight. (I can’t sleep when I’m nervous about something) I didn’t end up going to the gym until 12:00pm so I decided to turn breakfast into brunch and whipped up another batch of Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Pancakes when I got home.
I topped my pancakes with banana slices and 2 spoonfuls of TJs Maple-Agave Blend. I didn’t mix the banana into the mix this time.
I made Jeff a heart shaped pancake
(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww)
Jeff and I decided to be productive today and did a buttload of errands. As I mentioned above, I treated myself to a kiddie size cup of Gelato while we were out. I also got a 2 pump nonfat Gingerbread Latte from Starbucks.
I was still craving pizza from last night so we ordered Domino’s for dinner tonight. I figured that since I’m going to have a soft/liquid diet for the next couple days, I might as well splurge! Plus we had a coupon!
I ordered half with green peppers, banana peppers, and tomato slices on the Brooklyn Style Crust
Looks like they skimped on my half. I had 2 and a half slices
Sorry for the shadowy picture. I was in a rush to shove it down my throat.
Jeff and I just finished watching Inglorious Basterds and now I’m about to try to go to sleep. I have a long and uncomfortable day ahead of me.
Needless to say, I probably won’t be blogging for a couple days.
Wish me luck!!
Have you gone through surgery? Tell me about it.
Have a great Wednesday!!
BEST OF LUCK!
I have had my wisdom teeth out … but it wasn’t what I would call surgery. They simply froze the area with a needle, made a tiny cut and then pulllllllllled hard!! It felt like they were going to pull my face off.
I lived on soup for a week!
good luck with the wisdom teeth!!! I almost had to have mine taken out, but it hasn’t given me any issues and isn’t moving my other teeth around so they left it in for now.
i’m sure it will be fine – just take it easy
Good luck! I purposefully dont let dentists near my teeth often because I’m afraid of what they’ll find
Aww, hope the surgery went ok! Enjoy the time off
Ouch!! I remember the anesthesia (I went full anesthesia) being the worst part. It makes you SO sick!
Good luck! I had my wisdom tooth (yes just one) removed in September and was more nervous about the surgery than I had been to give birth…but it went flawlessly, nitrous was “fun” – just look forward to all the lovely soft food you’ll get to eat in the coming days.
good luck tomorrow – don’t be scared! i’ve had all four wisdom teeth removed at different times in different ways – the first two were impacted and were removed surgically, the other two were not and were pulled at my dentist. both were not too bad – and i’m a total wimp so you’ll be fine, especially with some good pain killers and plenty of tlc!
Wisdom teeth aren’t that bad. Mostly you just feel kinda loopy and tired. Load up on your painkillers and gelato and you’ll be fine!
1. I have Ghiradelli brownie mix in my cupboard and was mulling whether or not to make it today. The fact that it appeared in your blog looking delicious is clearly a sign that I must.
2. I will be singing I Wanna Be Sedated while baking it!
That cat picture really cheered me up. Thank you for that.
