Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Goodnight, Keith Moon

Now tagless for your comfort.

Or is that just me?

Not just you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so, empty stomach is empty and dam, but that stuff to empty you out is nasty nasty. I could not get through the second batch in the time dictated, it took me twice as long. Funnily, I am no longer hungry. Just tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a whole lotta no-fun, msbelle. But hey, if you keep on liquids for another week or so, eventually you will feel awesome and magical! I mean, that's what the cleanse people say, right? (Disclaimer: Everything I know about cleanses, I learned from Rakoff doing it on This American Life.)

I would probably lose some weight if nothing else. But no, we will likely be stopping for food on the drive home from the procedure. not even kidding.

For me, that was the worst part. Humans are not meant to a gallon of anything in 5-10 minutes. It gives a whole new meaning to water torture.

msbelle, nasty is right. I didn't even finish the last, I dunno, pint or so. What volume do they make you drink? Is Ginger right, is it really a gallon? Dang, I've blocked that part.

But yay you for being almost through it. At least for the procedure itself they give you drugs. Been through it twice, don't remember a thing.

I'll be sending you clean, healthy body vibes.

Mine was 32 ounces of the solution to be consumed 8 ounces every 15 min, followed by 16 ounces of clear liquid of my choice.

Then repeat 3 hours later.

Egad, msbelle. But yeah, that's the worst of it by far. Crossing my fingers for good results.

I'm pretty sure I'd go to the procedure with a bagel in my purse. Or similar.
