I've got my colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow. So far, I'm not freaking out too much. I am prone to anxiety, especially health anxiety, so I'm proud of myself for keeping things level (for now, at least). I have to take my first dose of the prep liquid at 5 tonight. Biggest thing right now is that I'm so hungry. I'm not a big eater, but this all liquid thing is no good. I'm going to have to run out and get some veggie broth or something. I know getting this done is the right thing to do, but I've never had one before and it's a little scary.
Mine is coming up and I'm concerned about my blood sugar. I don't eat much either but if I go without eating for more than four hours I get the shakes. And then to poop so much on top of that? Yikes. Let us know how you make out.

Thanks for the positive words. I'm definitely feeling a bit foggy right now - guessing as my blood sugar diminishes.

Hello,

Check to see if Gatorade or Pedialyte is on your approved items list.

You'll be fine. You can still drink water right? That will help.

Hopefully they will put you to sleep, and it will be the best 30 minute nap you've ever had. You won't know a thing till they wake you up and tell you everything is alright.

Hope it's all clear, man, but if they find anything that's only to the good. Then they can work on fixing it.

Well, I survived. Doctor found 2 small polyps that will have to get biopsied. I asked him about it and he shook his head and said "they're nothing to worry about" though being an anxious fellow, I will worry until I get a call otherwise. Other than that, it was a seamless experience. They knocked me out and then suddenly I was awake. No issues with that. I feel mostly normal right now, just a little tired. As long as everything is in fact okay, I'm good for another 3 years and then I get to repeat.

Good to hear it all went well. I'm sure the doc is right and all is smooth sailing for a few more years.

They will always find something, its the nature of things. I think the doctors have seen enough to know problematic ones from benign ones.

Hello,

For such an invasive procedure, it's usually not much bother prep aside.

Stay healthy!
