Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | >> (show all) Very odd (colonoscopy prep)       #202530 - 08/04/05 02:45 PM Edit Reply Quote epa_ginger Reged: 02/23/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Chicago, IL So I officially have 15 minutes before I start drinking the stuff. But get this---I already have diarrhea!! I typically NEVER get D, so this is weird. I wonder if it's because I started my liquid diet yesterday so I haven't had much solid food. Or...could it be nerves? I just spoke to the nurse and I'm not really worried or nervous, I think I'm more nervous about the prep! Anyway, whatever. I'm just looking forward to tomorrow! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     ugghhh...       #202535 - 08/04/05 03:09 PM Edit Reply Quote Alyson McG Reged: 05/20/05 Posts: 317 Loc: Vancouver Washington (IBS-A, but D prominant) I'm sure it's probably a combination of things, nerves, liquids...etc...How has the low fiber part of the diet been? I start mine on Sunday for my colonoscopy/endoscopy next Wednesday. Have you been absolutely hungry? Of the list they gave me, I can tolerate about two of the foods on it. I'm so afraid I'll be gnawing off an arm (LOL)in my sleep...I ALWAYS wake up in the middle of the night hungry. How has the liquid diet been? Sorry to probe so much, but I guess I'm a little nervous about getting through the prep myself. The test it self, I'm (oddly enough) not too concerned with. Hope everything goes well for you tomorrow. -------------------- Everything in life happens for a reason, patience will eventually tell us what that is......

I'll bet one Fleet dose will clean you out completely! Good luck! -------------------- Christine Those who can do; those who want it done better teach.

Does that help you, lol?? I too, can wake up hungry. I like to eat often and plenty. I can't ever skip a meal, and can hardly skip snacks! so this has been hard. as for low fiber, I haven't even thought of it. I've been relatively stable, this is a "better safe than sorry" test. Let me tell you---you will REALLY appreciate food after this. Even stupid food you were probably sick of like rice. Oh, glorious rice. I will post later after I've started the actual "prep". I am 10 min late. Oops! People aren't meant to only consume liquids! It's just not right! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Just took the first dose....       #202538 - 08/04/05 03:25 PM Edit Reply Quote epa_ginger Reged: 02/23/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Chicago, IL with some ginger ale. It certainly wasn't pleasant, but wasn't as bad as I thought. Now I guess I just wait. -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I'm sooooo sorry!....       #202539 - 08/04/05 03:27 PM Edit Reply Quote Alyson McG Reged: 05/20/05 Posts: 317 Loc: Vancouver Washington (IBS-A, but D prominant) I really understand the hunger thing. I eat all the time(of course, my weight is beginning to reflect it unfortunately, but at least I'm feeling better..:)). I'll be thinking about you.

Lucky him! LOL.... Alyson -------------------- Everything in life happens for a reason, patience will eventually tell us what that is......

I haven't had a colonoscopy yet.. but I do have to have a small bowel xray in a few weeks, and I think I have to drink alot of gross crap and sit around.
