Speaking from experience of doing a liquid only day (the beginning of a 2 wk detox I did last winter), I can relate to the no food thing and I am sorry! I hope it goes by fast and the liquids fill your belly up!

Your doctor sounds awesome and even though it's completely overwhelming, the fact that they're including all of those other procedures is really great because you only have to get prepped for surgery once. This difficult day of fasting is not in vain!Brenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245204533317669757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-49932886978709752282012-08-02T06:22:30.424-04:002012-08-02T06:22:30.424-04:00Good luck!

You should totally eat two breakfasts and two lunches today, you know. .. all before 12pm :).<br /><br />I clicked on your friends blog about the book club and The Same Kind Of Different As Me is seriously an amazing book. One of my favorites!! I got to see the authors speak at a charity event once and it was very cool! Such an inspiring story!Brittniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051522140661900464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-12447239674052928882012-08-02T00:10:14.405-04:002012-08-02T00:10:14.405-04:00So being that person who routinely cleans out bell...So being that person who routinely cleans out belly buttons for surgery, I'd just like to say that people routinely neglect belly button cleanliness. It's disgusting. Abdominal prep for c-sections includes belly buttons and above and the clever little people at the Chloraprep company puts those long q-tips in the packages specifically for BB excavation. I could be accused of secretly showing off the cruddy q-tips to the other nurses or scrub techs in the OR so we can all chuckle and gag (or gag and then chuckle) at the patient's expense. I'm that nurse. Don't be that patient.hollie mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912447746572055625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549335122964279342.post-77895590152685930142012-08-01T22:41:47.705-04:002012-08-01T22:41:47.705-04:00Medical stuff is the worst!

Boo! Speaking of fasting, remember when we broke a five day fast with a calzone? Eating amateurs we are not. I'm making that gnocchi for some guests tomorrow so I'm trusting you when you say it's good!
