Gastro-Intestinal Fun Part 1

Okay - so this doesn’t make good breakfast time reading.

I am on what can be seen as a cleansing or a super-fast weight loss program in preparation for a colonoscopy on Tuesday. Not really of my choosing, mind you - I can imagine better things to do - but I'd rather be safe and know and deal with any deep dark nasty surprises now while they can be managed rather than later when they might not be so pliable.

So, today - no solid foods, only liquids (and no red or purple ones at that). My breakfast consisted of a half glass of pulp-free orange juice and several glasses of apple juice. My lunch is to be chicken broth and green jello. The apple juice I had brought to work is already gone because I'm already feeling hungry. Perhaps I should warn my co-workers that, if I seem irritable, it's because of this diet.

7:00 AM 198 pounds. I hope to come out this as light as a feather at the very least.
