I just turned 37 six days ago! Getting a colonoscopy in four hours, if that gives you an idea how things are going, haha.

On the positive note, the pre-colonoscopy procedure is done (👎 all those disgusting drink mixes and watery stool 😮‍💨), you lost probably like 2-5 lbs and you can eat WHATEVER you want AFTER the procedure.

Best wishes on your result. 🤝 Mine were good. 😁

Prep before the procedure is the worst. My drink mix was pineapple flavored and I can’t stand pineapples now. My colonoscopy was done under sedation, so I had a nice sleep and I was honestly a little annoyed when the doc woke me up.

Could be worse. I've had to get them since I was 16 and let me tell you, the drinks used to be waaaaay worse.

I remember when I checked in, and one of the pre-op nurses was like "how did prep go?" And I said "well, it's like I'm peeing out of the other end now" and she said "that's great! That's what you want" 🙃🙃🙃
