So the colonoscopy was not nearly as bad as I thought. The colon cleanse wasn't bad at all. I mixed it up with no flavor and refrigerated it for several hours (from morning till 3 pm) and then flavored half of it as one flavor and then the rest with another flavor..I poured it over ice in a cup with a lid (so I couldn't smell it)..I managed to drink 3/4 of it but since everything ran clear by then (3-1/2 hours). I ate sf lime jello at 1 am and all day today I left neon green in the toilets..and it showed in the pictures of my large intestines too..LOL..neon green. Nothing was found. I was asleep the whole time (maybe 30 minutes)..felt nothing.
My day in eats:
Well, 5:00 am I had coffee, black with splenda
8:00 am coffee black with splenda - I talked to the nurse yesterday and reminded them that I have no valve at the bottom of my stomach and that there is really no need to quit fluids for 6 hours..so 3 was all I allowed for..they approved.
nothing
nothing
nothing
I got to the endoscopy center at 11:15 and waited till 1 pm till they took me back in the back and re-asked all the questions again. They hooked me up to the saline solution at 1:15 and I was taken back to the procedure at 1:30. (so it didn't really matter that I had coffee at 8 am!)
I woke up about 2 pm and I was up and dressed by 2:15..Next door to the center is a Tom's Restaurant (my favorite!) and I love their chicken quesadillas so I scarfed one down (2/3 of it) in NO time and had another cup of coffee with just cream cuz they only had sugar.
Black Bean Salsa Chicken is in the crock pot (since this morning) and I'm ready to eat but I think I'll only have a half serving cuz I'm just really tired and more thirsty than anything..

I'm whipped..completely exhausted..Each time they asked me how I was before the procedure, I said "scared to death." Fear is tiring..
