Colonoscopy tomorrow, clear liquid diet today. So I’m making myself a nice, peach jello on jello sandwich.

Oh no! Don’t eat that, your only supposed to do yellow and green jello before a colonoscopy
my sympathies. at least the prep is gentler now than 27 years ago. Speaking from experience, to much experience
Be sure and do a pre prep anus petroleum coating.
You’ll be glad you did.
Every time I’ve had one done, I always tell nurses how exited I am. I feel no shame. I’m already lubed up. And the classic No I don’t need anything for the pain, I brought my own gag ball.
If you wake up and it’s only 15 mins later, you’re good.
thats the operation where they shove a camera up your ass right?
I have had a few of these… my dr said to avoid red because it could cause him to think everything was blood from the dye so I’m assuming it may be a little more strict depending on why the dr wants to go in. If the dr says orange is fine then I would eat orange since it’s my favorite
Did you steal my grandma’s plates???
Bring a sandwich for after. I was so hungry I thought I was going to pass out. I could smell every restaurant for a mile.
Had mine 5 years ago. Not as bad as what I expected , ate nothing day before though. Doctor told me I have a beautiful colon
Got my 4th one coming soon, just glad they not still using those 8 mm cams anymore. Good luck.
I have to get my bladder scoped tomorrow OP I feel you
Just received my cologuard kit. Anyone done it?
I had mine last Monday. Going without food and water gun out your ass isn’t fun. But post op is great.
I have had 6 over the years, most of the prep liquids taste horrible. Worst part of the process.
Colonoscopy prep: there’s nothing quite like peeing out of your poop hole.
We tell our patients not to eat or drink anything that touches red on the color wheel. Might want to check that.
Dude inject vodka into it. Just not the Russian kind though
What ever you’re having it done for, I hope you get the all clear, fingers crossed for you buddy 🤞
Good luck. I followed the prep instruction to a T (in fact I even started a couple of days early just to make sure I was ready) and when I woke up they told me they had stopped the procedure because I wasn’t sufficiently cleaned out. Apparently some people need more time and I’m one of them. Still haven’t gone back for another try… not even sure if my insurance will cover it.
Hopefully everything comes out ok 💩
Ah…the night of a thousand waterfalls
May I recommend the clear chicken broth?
I’ve had a bowel disease for over 30 years so I’ve “experienced” about 100 colonoscopies over this time. My personal experience is that if you have the option, take Pico Salax (or similar generic) + Ducolax. These are small packets of powder mixed with a fairly small amount of water. However, people will probably be asked to consume a ridiculous amount (64 ozs) of laxative/liquid mixture instead which you don’t really need to do (Miralax). You still need to drink a lot of clear liquids after taking the Pico Salax but it’s on your own and not mixed in with shitty tasting laxative. Plus the purge goes a lot faster since you can hold your nose and down 150ml instead of the length of time it takes to choke down 64 ounces!
God speed tonight. Might wanna set a tablet up or other media in there, gonna be spending the majority of the evening on the John.
My favorite part of the colonoscopy procedure was waking up in the recovery room and hearing the symphony of farts from each person also waking up from the procedure.
Having one tomorrow. I don’t see how I am going to fit this 64oz in one stomach.
Enjoy the power shits once you down the first of that prep liquid.
Just had it done the other day, I found the hardest part was that everything is either liquid or soft food. So I bought some hard candies and they really help with the sensation of chewing. They also help with cravings. Just make sure to stay away from grape or berry coloured ones.
First poop: ok this isn’t so bad, will be nice to clear out the system
40th poop: oh my god who replaced my toilet paper with sandpaper
Let me guess where you’re reading this….
Yeah, the starvation was so painful. I drank juice while shitting a yellow river on the toilet. Make sure to treat yourself to a decent meal after the procedure.
Oh no. I’m due for another one soon. I don’t want to. My bowels are twisted so heavily that the doc said it took him almost an hour to get though.
I wish you luck!!!!
If this is your first time, I would highly recommend getting yourself baby wipes
I hated it. Got one a while back at 45, clean as a whistle. The sphincter was WAY uncomfortable for days after all the water crapping. Drugs were affective, though: went from being asked to lay on side after being wheeled in to sitting in a lounger watching people walk by, no recollection of anything between. Doc walked by, took a glance and stopped, after noticing the confused look on my face. I asked if procedure was cancelled and he said, nope all done.
I just got this done last week. The 4L of fluid was disgusting, puked twice. Key i figured out halfway through was using a wide straw and putting as far back in your mouth as you can. Follow up each chug with a couple licks of a halls vitamin C sucker as a chaser.
+1 for the bringing a sandwich for after.
Mine was also full sedation.
Once you start the laxatives, make sure you remain within three steps of a toilet for the rest of the day
Tim Allen once said in his stand up routine, “Before people go to the dentist, they usually brush their teeth. Before I go to the dentist, I eat a whole raw onion and a few cloves of fresh garlic. Then I eat a bunch of oreo cookies and finish it off with some Cheetos for some color. I make them earn their fee!”
I wonder if there’s something along those lines you can do for a colonoscopy?
First thing that came to mind was having the doc find a Lego mini figure. But I’m just brainstorming…
The prep is worse than the procedure!
Future you thanks present you for putting up with this.
My family history is REALLY bad. So I got my first one at 38. When I called the GI doc to check if I should have one they said no way at your age. But tell me your family history and we’ll do an office visit maybe.
I gave them the history – they called me back and said they were just going to skip the visit and schedule me for the procedure. The prep sucks but at 38 years old I had a polyp that was removed.
The five year plan for life is what I am scheduled for now. I’ve had two more of these and they’ve been all clear. It’s 10 years since I had the polyp and I would likely have colon cancer now if it hadn’t been checked.
I watched my mom go through surgery after surgery for colon cancer. It was terrible. It spread, came back, etc. She went through chemo and radiation. Her last surgery resulted in a colostomy and her ovaries, etc being removed and losing her tail bone as well.
Avoiding even 5% of what I watched her go through is SO worth the minor discomfort of the prep.
On a bright note – it turns out mom is tough as nails. We just had her 80th bday party a few months back and she’s been cancer free for 10+ years.
When my kids were younger, say around 7-8, I was getting a colonoscopy. They were curious about what was going to happen, so I told them about having a camera stuck up there to make sure everything was fine. My son, the youngest, was wide eyed and said they stick a camera up there???!! I told him the camera was nothing, the lighting and sound crew was the real problem! HA!! I probably scared him for life!
Good luck!!
Pro tip, they don’t find it amusing if you moan “harder daddy”.
I drank peach drink before my colonoscopy… The scope showed peach coloured intestines… The doc was not impressed
Ask for a copy of the video.
Add it to the family video files and when thanksgiving comes round put on a slide show.
That will be the last supper you ever host or go to. It’s awesome.
Ha, good luck with the results procedure is basically easy, just awful drinking the evacuation liquids.
Woke up once during a Colonoscopy, they said I became “combative”. WTF, wake up in a daze with someone shoving a tube up yer butt, I’d say my reaction was acceptable.
I really hope you have wet flushable wipes, a plunger, enough stuff to read, wash hands, water, basically be prepared to spend most of yo time in the bathroom.
Flush often. Wet wipes will save your ass but don’t flush more than one – plumbers hate the things.
May the gods have mercy on your butthole.
