Prep n purge day

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!
