Any advice for getting through my preparations for a colonoscopy?
I have to drink 2 lites of stuff and go to the bathroom for hours so that I can get the procedure done tomorrow. I’ve never had this before and I can’t eat at all and I get cranky when I’m hungry. How do you deal with it?
Believe me, you get so full of fluids and are so sick of running to the bathroom, that you forget about food at all. At least, I did. By the time they did the procedure, I was so happy to have it over and so tired, that I didn’t even eat when I got home. After you get home you will be full of gas, and have cramps, so just lay down and take it easy, and use a heating pad if you have one. Napping is good too.
Good luck. I hope all turns out well for you.
You will be starving you can eat as soon as they are done when you leave i personnely had one i wont ever have one with a sediative i want to know when they make a mistake also you can get up and leave as soons as they are done and able to drive yourself and do what ever you want..
