So I’m officially getting old(er). Tomorrow is colonoscopy day! I thought I’d share my experience to help those who might want a little preview. Wish me luck.

To start, I did a low fiber diet for two days (which is no big deal), and have been on an all liquid (no red) diet today. I bought the good veggie, chicken, and beef broth for some variety. All good so far.

I took a couple dulcolax around lunch and am now drinking a 64oz large pitcher of Gatorade with a full bottle of Miralax mixed in. A glass every 15min. Stomach has started making noises….
 
Following, I've been told to get one now that it's 45+............. good luck sir! :tup:
 
What happens when you drink 10 oz of Magnesium Citrate? I’m glad you asked…

12:05 pm: It’s time. You shotgun a 10 oz bottle like it’s a lukewarm Pabst Blue Ribbon and you don’t want to be a coward in front of your older brother’s friends. It’s suppose to be grape flavored but it’s becoming quite clear that whoever led the R&D team that day has never actually tasted anything grape in their life. You are already regretting this decision.

12:06 pm: You deep throat a cupcake like you’ve been saving it for the apocalypse because let’s face it…that time is here. It’s going to turn to liquid form before it even clears your throat but you don’t care. All is right in the world at this moment. Hold on to that. You’re about to enter a very dark period in your life.

12:37 pm: First sign of life. The pressure is growing. You already have 5 lbs of crap in your colon and you basically just drank the “safe for humans” version of Drano. You feel a poop coming on finally. You think it’s time. You’re wrong. You get a little snake turd as a teaser. Take note…this is the last semi-solid thing you will see leaving your body for the next 24 hours.

12:57 pm: That little science experiment you got cooking is about to reach it’s boiling point. Your stomach is angry now. It hates you…you can feel it. The pitch of the growling reaches the moon. You have exactly .3 seconds to make it to the nearest toilet but you can’t run… NEVER run! You pray to God there is enough elasticity in your butt to keep the gates closed 5 more steps as you start to preemptively undo your pants to save valuable time. Almost there. 3…2…1…

12:58 pm: Sweet Mary, mother of God…is this real life? Your cheeks barely hit the seat and all hell breaks loose. The crap / water mixture you’ve just created comes out with such force that it actually sprays the back of the toilet bowl at a 45 degree angle thus deflecting it in every direction but down. Is that blood? False alarm. That’s just the remnants of a cherry pie you ate at Thanksgiving…when you were 5. The smell is horrid…the sound is frightening. You try to clench whats left of your butt to soften the blow but it’s not working. The whole house just heard your liquid shart as it gurgled out of your back door.

1:06 pm- 8:30 pm: Everything’s a blur. You have crapped out everything you have ever eaten since the day you were born, everything your ancestors have ever eaten since the early 1800’s, and your butt now feels like you have a flaming hot Cheeto and the tears of a thousand Jalapeno seeds stuck in it. You’re now curled up in the bathtub ugly crying because you have to remain within arm’s reach of the toilet at all times. You have the poop sweats. You meet Jesus.

8:37 pm: Your family will never be able to unsee the things they’ve seen in the last 8 hours. You’re broken. Your butthole’s broken. Your spirit’s broken. Life as you know it will never be the same.

But…tomorrow’s a new day. You’re going to wake up, throw on the only remaining pair of underwear you have that doesn’t have a poop stain on it, and you’re going to run up to Walmartians with the last shred of dignity you have left…and buy yourself a new toilet brush. You’ve earned it. You know it may be weeks before your gut will feel normal again

I cried laughing reading this...
 
I’ve been working for a GI for nearly 10 years. I hear his assistant going over prep instructions with patients on a daily basis. I can tell you, without doubt, what the worst part is…

Having to repeat it. :sick: Follow the instructions. Word for word!

Good luck and have fun!

The 10 inch scar in my abdomen would like to disagree with you on the worst part :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

I can’t stop laughing :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Hope all goes well for you Forrest.
I just had this procedure done for the first time last month. The prep is the absolute worst part of the entire process. From noon on a Sunday till noon on Monday, I lost 8 lbs. :wow: I only weigh 150lbs. YES……I’m obviously full of shit as many of you already know.:ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Best advice I can give you…….showers during prep BEATS THE HELL OUT OF PAPERWORK!
The OL Bung will thank you for it. ;):ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

All the best and well wishes for a clean bill of health.

Omfg this shit had me in tears!!!! :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO: :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:
 
Just did mine a couple of weeks ago. My serious observations:

- you will be tired and worn out from the substantial reduction in calories during the 48 hour prep. I had no energy. Try not to be cranky with whoever is taking you to the doctors office.

- the procedure is painless and quick. Take the prep seriously so that you are clean, and they can say see your in ten years.

On the not so serious side of things:
- they asked if I had an advance directive on file. My answer: I am not dying here, and not dying today. You will do everything your power to get me home tonight.

- they asked if I have any battery powered devices inside of me. I assume that they meant pacemakers and the like, but I told them that they would be the first to know during the procedure.

I am glad that I did it, and that I have another ten years ahead of me before the next one.
