were you good to go the next morning?
Unfortunately, no. I slept most of the day after the procedure and then had dinner. I wasn't groggy after that, but I was (bizarrely for me) constipated and incredibly gassy for about 3 days. Other than the constant low-level pain, it was a somewhat positive experience - I got to eat some stuff I would normally never touch, like prunes. I truly don't know if my problems afterward were because of the colonoscopy, because I had both a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, or because I ate so badly the night after the procedure. In retrospect, I wish I'd taken a long walk as soon as possible after the procedure and eaten more lightly for dinner afterward. Not necessarily IBS-safe, but more lightly.
On the other hand, after my previous colonscopy 5 years ago, I slept most of the day afterward, then felt fine by the next day.
