Accountability - Monday

I'm stressing over the stupid consult for my colonoscopy this Friday..why or why did I agree to have one this year? Oh yeah, because I should have done it when I turned 50..I need to pull up my big girl panties and get it done with..but I'm skeerd of not being able to eat (ya know? fasting..) and then I'm afraid they wont' put me completely asleep..booooooo.

Actually, that's not too bad. More than enough water..Yesterday I didn't drink nearly enough and had a headache this morning when I woke up..yup, hangover stuff..dehydration..

Still, all in all, today was pretty darn good. They worked me over at therapy..I can tell I'm gonna be sore..

How did you do? 

I had a colonoscopy a few years ago (colon cancer on both sides of the family) it was not half as bad as I had heard. It is kind of like doing the 5 day reset thing except you can only have clear liquids; the first day is the worst. I slept through it until the end when I woke up and could see the screen and thought I was watching TV; I said out loud what the hell is that turn the channel and went back to sleep! They all had a good laugh about it. Take a pain pill at night if your shoulder hurts no sense in being in pain AND being hungry!
I worked night shift last so short list, but that is a good thing for me
0900-fried egg lc bread 2%cheese
1800-sweet potato, chicken breast
going to bed soon, not much sleep. I couldn't go to sleep so I did some work from home for my main job until I got sleepy around 11 then goy up when DD came home from school.
not enough water and all that but I am going to bed soon so I can get a running start at tomorrow!

I've read all sorts of different things about it..pretty much no fiber for several days before and only light colored meat (fish and chicken, boiled or poached..)cheese and such and then drinking the colon cleanse stuff. flavored water but not red or purple...I think I should be okay. I have no colon cancer in any of my family (back four or five generations at least..) but still..they require it. If I come through this and they don't pick so much as a polup, I'm never having another one..there will be no reason.

I was on clear liquids for three days and then had to drink the go lytely an d take bisacodyl pills the night before. I did not have anythingfound but will repeat every 5 years My cousins on both sides have had many pre cancerous polyps removed and each has had a parent with colon cancer and our maternal grandmother.
Good luck, it really was not as bad as I thought it would be. Everyone is different though.
