Colonoscopy prep….. good lord help me!

@Miklee02 My dad got the cancer, but recovered. So, I started at 48. They recommend 7 years, because of it being in the family.

@Punxi

@Punxi Well, after that procedure, he's entitled.

@Scousspeter I’ve got another 10! 🙌

@Miklee02 really?

@Scousspeter yep!!

@MayorOfCrushtown that’s the only good thing about this this this awful procedure

@Miklee02 me, the very next meal. LOL

@MayorOfCrushtown Same... drove into my hometown, and I just said "here" at the first food place. My mother said "But, the docto....."

"HERE!"

@WormMan I drank half the juice at 5pm last night then had to get up and drink other half at 4am …. There’s gotta be a better way

@Miklee02 Its a shitty test, isn't it?

@Sojournersoul no joke

@Musicman I’d have to look it all up and add it up. Not that expensive to me but some would complain on it.

@cherokeepatti Someone is always going to complain.

@Musicman My sister is a good example of that. She got the best Medicare plan she could have for the situation she is in. It was set up to help keep Seniors out of the nursing homes. There were a lot of the residents in the Senior apartment complex where she lived that had this plan and they were bragging about it. It was really good for someone who had no car to get around. They offered free transportation for all medical visits and would come & get her in a van, taking her up to the health science medical center where I go for treatments. they offered free fitness classes and would have given her free transportation for that. One time she was complaining about her legs swelling and a nurse drove over to where she lived at night and gave her some support stockings, no charge. That type of thing. She complained about trivial things so much and ended up dropping the plan and switching over to another one around her birthday and not even keeping it a year.

@pdockal no…. My grandpa died of colon cancer so I started screening at a younger age and I also had colon resection surgery (cut out a foot) in 2016 due severe diverticulitis…… I just seriously do not want to do this ever again!! It’s harder on me now at my age I think 🤔

@Miklee02

Oof ....
My last pep was easy
It was all over the counter products
My first one i was expecting horrible issues but it wasn't like everybody told me to expect

Good luck !!!!!

@WillaKissing Such a descriptive way of putting it. Last time they told me to eat light the day before and I did just that. And walking around helps to release the air so if you live in the country a little walk here and then will help it rip.

@cherokeepatti Yes, you know I live in the country a hundred miles or more from any place they do the procedures at, and no way I am blowing my truck doors off for the two plus hour drive home while starving, and not wanting to share! LOL

@WillaKissing I would never go out to eat after having a colonoscopy. It’s and eat light day that day and eat light the next day.

@JimboSaturn sure is! 💩

@Quimliqer I 💯 did!

@saragoodtimes yeah I seen commercials on that….. if no problems this time that’s what I will request in 10 years!

@Miklee02 Alan suggests it to his patients who refuse to go through the prep and exam.

@Miklee02 good luck and prayers

@Levenrack had to take 4 Dulcolax pills Tuesday night which that kept me up all night then yesterday 32oz of MiraLAX with Gatorade and another 32oz at 4am
I’m pooped out!!! All pun intended 😅🤪💩

@BuzzedLightyear I’m good for another 10! 🙌🤪

@KeyserSoze I get 5 more minutes to drink liquids….. then procedure in two hours
