Alrighty folks!
I've been awake since 5am! Last night I dreamed over and over again about my bowl prep in many different forms and goofiness!

So, I decided to just get up and get this thing moving (ummm, that could be a pun?)!

Here I go!! :) :)

LOL. My butt hurts just thinking about it. Didn't have to do it for my surgery, but I've had plenty of colonoscopies, so I feel your pain :)

Let the fun begin! I didn't have to do this for my surgery, but have done it for others. No fun. My husband had surgery once and had to do a bowel prep. He ended up putting the TV in the bathroom. LOL!

woo hoo the beginning of the loss. in more ways then one. :)

I didn't have to do this for either of my procedures and I have never had a colon any thing I needed to do it for so I will take your word on the oh what fun factor. I will also keep avoiding the your almost 50 talk my doc keeps trying to tackle me on for the colonoscopy and let you all have the joys of that end. :)

you rock Becca if I don't get to say it have a great surgery and walk walk walk sip sip sip

So sorry you have to do that, thank goodness my doc didn't require it. I guess he figured after 2 weeks of liquids there wasn't much point.
