Lose ten pounds in one day with our all new sugar diet!!!

I headed out today for my one hour glucose tolerance test. The tester-lady provided me with an insipid pale orange beverage that I suspiciously smelled and determined that it was nasty. So drank it like it was a shot. My inner college student, circa 1992 would have been proud of me, until 3 minutes passed and I felt not-so-good. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. The lady at the testing facility laughed at me and said that I consumed the drink too fast, which makes people throw up. I pointed out that this was information that should have been shared pre-consumption, but I caught her off guard, so whatever.

I consumed the second beverage more slowly and waited, and felt bad, and tried to calm myself down, and felt worse, and went outside into the cooler air, and started sweating, and you know ...

Round three stayed down.

I am pretty worried that I failed the test if any sugar stayed from the first two rounds. I guess this is my comeuppance for a morning-sickness free first trimester.
