Colonoscopy on Saturday Morning

[Luthien]

Okay so I've had a colonoscopy before, but I have a couple questions.

My colonoscopy is 7am Saturday morning. I know, no solid food Friday. I do my Moviprep 1/2 6pm Friday, and 1/2 2am Saturday morning.

So my question, would it be technically okay for me to have breakfast Friday morning? I have to be at work at 6am (more then 24 hours before). Should that be okay? I'm afraid I'll pass out at work if I don't eat anything through the whole 8 hour shift! :eek2:

Thanks for response in advance!

I've had 2 colonoscopies and you should be fine. Usually have to fast for 24 hours before. so eating at 6 am should be good. I would recommend something easy on the belly, like eggs. good luck!

hey Luthien, how did everything go? Did you manage to get through your shift? what about the colonoscopy itself?

I did get through my shift, tortured by the smell of pizza! Lol:ybatty:the colonoscopy went well, thankfully everything is looking good. He said he didn't see any active crohn's right now and my strictures looked better then on the MRI. Now I'm tapering down my prednisone and am probably going to start on meds this week (imuran + biologic) I have a follow up appointment this week to go over everything.

Im glad to hear it went well for you I hope you continue to recover and the new meds put you into solid and prolonged remission!
