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!

6:15!

Although -that is probably good - get it over with! Mine is scheduled for 12:40pm - it's gonna be a LONG morning, waiting, I think!

My appointment is at 8 so I'm guessing it takes a while to get me squared away and set up but yep, I'm likely the first one of the day.

I ended up just calling my doctor since I had NO idea when I was supposed to start my suprep stuff. They said the first dose at 5pm and then the second around midnight and stop drinking fluids at 1am. But since I'm supposed to drink SO much water after I can manage to slog through drinking the prep, I don't know if I can finish that in an hour. So maybe I'll bump things back an hour each just in case
