Colanoscopy...?!


Question: I have to get a colanoscopy tomorrow, and I'm drinking the stuff that clears out the bowels.

OMG, it tastes so discusting. It's like drinking the ocean...or oil. It's soo gross. And, honestly, I need this procedure done, but I cannot go on like this..

Anybody ever have it done? Any words of encouragement would really help right now!

I had one done 3 years ago when i was 18, after a car wreck. Yes it is really gross drinking that stuff! They tried to make me go to work while drinking that stuff, Ha! yea right. I barged right out of work cramping and thought i could get home (10mins away) before i exploded LOL but i got caught in traffic from a bad deadly car wreck. so i U turned back into town and ran into my friends house i barely knew outside of school, didnt even knock! busted through the door and booked it toward the toilet! That drink had me throwing up all night long! (even on my brother when i eventually got home). As far as the actual procedure went, they will put an IV in your arm, and tell you night night. When I woke up my butt wasnt the least bit sore (i had a good Dr.) But just mix that crap with some 7up and gulp it down as fast as you can! Dont sip on it! The actual procedure isnt that bad, it was the scariest thing (closest to a surgery) that i have ever had, and if you get someone who knows what they are doing up there, then you will not hurt afterward. GOOD LUCK! :)

Everyone goes through that for a colonoscopy. It sucks, but you must be cleaned out.

The procedure is mild.

My man just drank it last Monday for Tuesday checking.
Hope you added Cyrstal Lite lime or lemon to it, helps some, but not alot.
He left about an inch in the bottom of the jug, couldn't take anymore.
Just drink what you can, they didn't care that he didn't drink it all.

You cannot drive tomorrow.

After his colonoscopy, they gave him toast, coffee, a small orange juice to drink if he wanted. He took it before I got there to pick him up to take home. One mile drive home, he should not have eaten that toast or drink, he poo'd his pants before getting into the house.

2 hours later, he wanted a burger & fries, he was starving. Less than an hour later, he was on the toilet. Takes one day to get the drugs out of the system. He was fine on Wednesday, Thursday back to normal in the toilet department.

Colonoscopy turned out fine, 50% of people over the age of 60 in the USA have diverticulitis. My guy now knows he has it too. He's 67.
