Colonoscopy - Just Do It

Hours? Something wasn't working right. Those may have been the quickest shits I've ever taken.
I had to drink that 1 gallon of liquid like four cups at a time over two hours. So it caused shits every 15 minutes. I ended up just staying there until it was done.

ugh....I liked my doctors instructions much better. The worst part for me is I wasn't allowed anything to drink, not even water after that second dose. So I had to fast all day the day before. No liquids after midnight. Then get up at 4am and take the second dose. My surgery was at 1:00pm. So I'm pretty close to 13 hours with no liquids and they sucked every drop i had in reserve out.

I was a bit agitated I couldn't even get a sip of water or even some ice cubes. Assholes.
 
I just had one done last month. There were two pint bottles i had to mix with water. I drank one the night before and I had to get up at 4:00am to take the second one. The taste wasn't good, but it's not like it was revolting either. I will say that stuff works. I mean fast. 30 minutes later I'm squirting out pure water and it felt like bucket loads of it. That stuff must draw water out of every part of your body.

Yes, this is how my last one was also. Only needed to drink 16oz bottle the night before, and then take the next 16 oz bottle. It was flavored too if I remember correctly and wasn't bad at all.

The first one I did was about 10 years ago and that one I was supposed to drink a gallon of the most horrendous tasting shit ever produced. I drank half a gallon and puked that shit right up....drank another quart out of the second half of that gallon jug and gave up. Figured that I was going to be cleaned out enough.

That sounds like torture. It looks like they have come up with a better way from those days.

Honestly it was. I can assure you that neither I nor anyone here has yet fully described just how truely awful tasting that crap was back then. It was not a thin liquid either. It had some texture to it! Like almost a gel. That made it even worst.

Smelled awful, tasted even worst and had a texture that was gel like in consistency.

The trifecta of awfulness!

Thin it out with some whiskey.
 
Great job selling this fellas

The new stuff they make you drink tastes okay. It comes in different flavors. It's not great but it's no worse tasting than say.... sugar free Kool-Aid.

Seriously brother, it's important that you get it done.

It's not comfortable and IT IS a nasty endeavor, (no amount of sugar coating can erase that fact) but it is also a necessary one.

They have pills now too...no drinking any liquid other than water
 
The doctor's office (who did my first one) has been leaving messages since last Fall. Been ignoring them just because I wasn't ready to go thru that 'shit' again (pun intended) yet!

Probably will break down and call them next week, cuz my biannual physical is later this month and my primary doctor is just gonna nag me again to get it done. :sigh:

:drink:

So much for freedom

My last doctor wanted me to get one but could not give me a good enough reason. They kept listing markers and I kept pointing out how I don't have any of them. Then they punted and went with "everybody else is doing it, it's just what you do at your age."

They ain't my doctor no more.

Yup. That's how mine was. It was one of the worst things. Trying not to puke up the gallon of lemon flavored butt water.
 
Not since obama care.

If you're old enough for it to be completely covered, who gives a shit?

Apparently everyone who's ever downed that nasty liquid


My point is that it is probably not necessary for every living human. How did we ever get by without colonoscopies? :noidea: Yet the medical community swears that everybody needs them, and they always seem to find something that needs removing.

I would think some of you guys would be a little more suspicious about that. I'm not the type of person who believes everything my doctor says without questioning it a little. The fact that I've gotten two doctors to back down from recommending them makes me think it's not as critical as folks are being led to believe.

I also believe that doctors use "pre-cancerous cells" as a scare tactic.
