So my neck swelled up!

[Sev408]

My neck over the past month has gained about 2 inches total, and no its not from lifting. None of my dress shirts fit, which sucks and some of my collared shirts dont fit right anymore either.

I went in to the ear/nose/throat doctor and my tonsils are apparently swollen about 4 times bigger then they should be. I noticed when I was doing cardio that my breathing was begining to suck but didnt know my tonsils would effect it. So I am breathing through an 1/8th of my airway. because of this my throat is now enlarged along with my neck to compensate for it.

So now my diet will be screwed for a week or so because, I guess ice cream is the diet of the tonsil champs? According to everyone I have talked to.

Anyone else gone through this. Had theirs taken out. I know I will be druged out of my mind for the pain, but I dont really care about that. I just want to be able to breathe right again.

Well i have the protein shakes already, so i guess some low carb ice cream? I am going to try and keep this as healthy and strict to my diet as possible.


BTW: Allthewhey, Mint Choc is amazing. Cant thank bouncer enough for making that post. Bought a 5lb container, its cheap and tastes way to good.

I think you can also blend oats and protein powder and take that...and if you need more fats, flaxseed oil by the tablespoon...yum

Oh god...flaxseed oil by the tablespoon?!?! I take flaxseed oil liquidgels and one broke open in my mouth once...holy crap was that bitter. Can't imagine straight oil by the tablespoon.

not that great. I look back at my photos from like 4 months ago and my neck is half the size. I feel like shit when I look at myself in the mirror. Well neck up that is :)

still have to wait till may 8, thats the day they come out. so i pray the swelling will go away.

it sucks that you have to set up a date 1 to 2 months ahead of when it needs to be done.
