There is something positive to be gleaned from this otherwise uncomfortable procedure. Since you have to be doing all this anyway, now is the time to capture this data.
Follow these instructions to gain a valuable statistic about yourself.
1. Just before you drink the prep, weigh yourself and record the weight.
2. Just before you leave for the Med Center, when the prep has had maximum time to do it's job, weigh yourself again.
3. Subtract the second weight from the first.
4. Divide the difference from Step 3 by the second weight.
5. Multiply the result from Step 4 by 100 to give a percentage.
For example, if the first weight is 200 and the second is 150, the difference is 50, divided by 150 is .3333, times 100 is 33.33%
This is just an example and is not typical. Only a few here will have a percentage that high.
Post your percentage to this thread. It will be help everyone, yourself included, to know and understand you better.
In fact, this information is so meaningful that it should be a required part of the resume of every politician.
I think I will call it the FOS Index.
