My prep (Osmo Prep tablets) began at 3:00 (per their instructions).... next time I'll start earlier so I can sleep peacefully.

For the clear liquids, I chose apple juice and white grape juice (both without added sugar, and the apple juice has a decent percentage of potassium) and beef broth (Swanson's Organic in the carton). The beef broth has a little fat (which I think may be why I didn't feel like I was starving yesterday) and also a little protein. I had planned to include lime Jell-O but I work very hard to restrict sugar except on occasion so I decided to not spend an entire day consuming it along with the additives and artificial this and that to spare myself the guaranteed sugar withdrawal the following few days -- and I tend to be a little hypoglycemic after consuming sugar if I don't have other foods of substance with it.

I began drinking the clear liquids first thing in the morning and continued throughout the day. The instructions emphasized adequate hydration in big bold letters -- before, during, and after the preparation. With the juices and the broth and plain ol' water, I didn't feel very hungry and my blood sugar didn't bottom out. Actually, I felt good. I never felt any dizziness or nausea.

I'd do it again the same way, but begin the pills (or whatever prep prescribed) earlier, like around noon.
