Prep n purge day

[missdiane]

Tomorrow is the big alien probe day so today is the dreaded prep. I've not done this before so hopefully it isn't too terrible. I get neurotic about food so not being able to eat anything solid will probably bother me more than anything. I brought two small containers of sugar free lemon-lime jello and a bottle of my favorite iced green tea that has honey to work. I also decided to see if I could drink coffee without milk and so far it's actually rather good. I did put some sugar free Torani vanilla syrup in it which helped.

Since I know I'm going to get sick of sweet things quickly, I have a container of chicken broth at home to nurse. I'm hoping that the folks from the hospital call early enough so I know when Emily and I need to go there and also when is the best time to start the first dose of the stuff that will wreak havoc on the stomach.

Out of curiosity, I did weigh myself this morning so I can compare tomorrow morning before we go. I've been stuck solidly over 200 again which is annoying. Right now it's 200.5 or 200.6 so chances are I'll see a 1 at the beginning tomorrow morning. Maybe if I'm careful I can keep it that way and get it gradually down to a more reasonable number in general to improve the health.

Wish me luck! Any other tips welcome!

Good luck!

As someone who is looking at the same thing in my future, I look forward to hearing ALL about your experience :D

I will say that the last time I was on "clear liquids" only for prep, I tried chicken broth and thought it was AWFUL - so I ended up getting some Lipton's Chicken Noodle soup packets, making that and just straining out the solid bits (noodles, tiny bits of chicken) - that was MUCH tastier.

And then realized later, that really, all I did was make chicken bouillon :D So yeah - chicken, veg, beef bouillon powder + hot water is what I will be doing this time, and not even mucking with the broth stuff :D
