Day One Prep...Colonoscopy

[Natalie38]

Well, here I am again. prepping for another colonoscopy...
Would love a chicken burger right now!! hahahhahah

Just thought, since I am going to be up for awhile tonight dealing with this, thAT I would post a question to the world of crohnies etc...anyone else out there prepping?
I would hate to be alone in this...

misery loves company...hehe

 

[LindaS]

I'll be prepping tomorrow. Blah, I hate the prep!

 

[Natalie38]

HI Linda,
Thanks for the reply.. feeling really bummed over here..
I am doing the 2 day prep, and day one has been hell...im not complaining..just winy.......

 

[LindaS]

I'm not familiar with the 2 day prep. Does it involve drinking less of the horrific stuff?

 

[Natalie38]

hi, yup,

Im doing the pico-salax treatment..
2 days clear fluids, and both nights i drink the solution.. and poop all night...hahahha..but 2 days with no food is hard..broth only goes so far.....
What do you do for prep?

 

[LindaS]

I do the miralax with apple juice and ducolox prep. I have to mix a bottle of Miralax with a bottle of apple juice and drink 8 oz. every 15 minutes (ick!) and take the laxative pills. I do clear liquids tomorrow.

I wouldn't mind the clear liquids, because eating causes such problems, I try not to eat anyway.

 

[Natalie38]

Jeez.....
Overall, none of this is fun..or pretty........

I hope your colonoscopy goes well Tuesday..ill be doing it too........

 

[LindaS]

Natalie, I hope yours goes well. I'm also getting to experience the joy of an upper endoscopy at the same time! Yippee Skippy!

 

[Natalie38]

I didnt like it one bit......

Ill be thinking of you!!!!!
