So today it's clear liquids and I'm starving already. I had some lime jello for breakfast so I kinda had something to chew, and I'm on my second glass of apple juice. More jello for lunch and dinner, with apple juice or Sierra Mist in between. Then at 6 tonight, it's drink a liter (8oz every 15 minutes), of a very vile tasting liquid (if I can keep it down), and wait for the fun to start. Then I have to repeat that procedure again a 4 a.m. tomorrow morning. I might just start earlier to make sure I get rid of everything before I have to leave the house.

I'm just hoping I don't have a repeat of what happened with the last one. I passed out cold on the bedroom floor as I was getting ready to leave the house. My electrolytes were really screwed up I guess, as my doc said that is most likely what happened. I told my DIL to listen for a thud in my bedroom in the morning - just in case!

Gayle - can I be known as QOP for a day???

If you can spare some, please send some good vibes my way. Thanks friends! And think of me while you are eating all those yummy solid foods today...............

You sure can borrow QOP. Hey, I found alot of solace in having popsicles, just don't have any red or purple ones. I found some that were peach and white tea. I think I went thru the whole box that day, but it helped to have something to "chew".
