Hello Everybody,
![]() Tomorrow I get my first colonoscopy (I'm 50) and an upper scope of the esophagus. I'm on a liquid diet today and starving. ![]() Tonight I have to drink 4 liters of vile tasting (I'm told) liquid and camp out in the bathroom. Wish me luck. I sure wish I could have a sandwich or something. ![]()

Poor Wiz~ the flat tasting alka seltzer *blech* prep; but as we said at the GTG; you need to get it done. I'm proud of ya; you can do it.
I plug my nose when I drink a glassful and then w/o taking a breath, I pop a peppermint in my mouth for a couple of seconds. Helps a little, plus keep the mixture in the fridge, as it is supposed to taste better cold. Will be thinking of you and let us know how the tests went. Take care my lil Wiz friend. ![]()

What a bummer! (i haven't said that word in ages lol) That stuff is disgusting so do what dm said. Get it nice and cold and hold your nose.
I don't think it would be as bad if you did it on a full stomach but nooooooo They have to starve ya first! Get some good readin material in the ladies room. you're gonna need it. Good luck. I'll be thinkin of you (not being in the ladies room of course but in the room where they do the test) you know what I mean ![]()

Ugh, I hate having my upper scoped. Well, I guess I'm not real fond of having my lower scoped either!
Hey, if they find any money, it's mine!

Good luck with both procedures and the prep. Just think -- it is a quick way of taking off a few pounds.

I'm glad you're getting it done. I was a big girl and did both ends last Oct.
I goofed up and ate too long the first time, so they couldn't do it. The whole "process of elimination" was much better when I did it according to the directions. The exam was a piece of cake (oops, sorry, hope you don't like cake!) ![]() Good luck and have fun! Don't forget to post the pictures!!!! ![]()
