Well as if having eating issues wasn't enough....

I have my semi-annual CT scan for my Melanoma (which is in remission for 1 1/2 years now) and am supposed to drink those two 20-something oz bottles of barium by tomorrow. 

Oh man, I've started on bottle one and for the last two hours, I've taken 4 oz at a time every 15 minutes.  At least the surgeon said I can count it as part of my liquid intake for the day.

THe problem is the morning!  I am supposed to drink the whole bottle the hour before my test at 10:30.  Well, that isn't happening.  I guess it'll have to be good enough.  I just hope all of tonight's bottle stays down

As if not being able to choke down a protein shake wasn't bad enough, right?!  I had to drink the two bottles of barium back-to-back at about 4-5 months out and it was easy peasy, so hopefully next time it won't be this difficult for you.  Good luck with the second bottle this morning and with the CT scan!
