Prep

I'm in pain.  Right side of my stomach is so tender.  I ate terrible tonight.  I start my prep tomorrow for my colonoscopy and endoscopy on Tuesday.  Do I REALLY need to take 4 laxatives when I take 6 anti-diarrhea each day and STILL have watery diarrhea!!!  I also see the surgeon tomorrow morning to get my butt checked out...again.  3 weeks ago it didn't look so good.  It's still tender and my diarrhea is, obviously, still not under control.  It definately won't feel good during my prep tomorrow night ;o)!  My car broke down and is going to cost $600 to fix...rrr.  We're going to have to somehow get by with one car for awhile which I'm not looking forward to.   As I mentioned in a new post, we watched Food Inc last night.  I can't wait to get back to healthy foods after my scope.  I now only want to buy organic for the entire family.  I know it's so much more expensive but we're worth it!  I wish I could eat raw fruits and vegetables!  Will I EVER be able to???

Good luck on your scope on Tuesday. Prep days are not fun. I take the 6 big pills and wash them down with Gatorade. That way you don\'t have to taste the awful stuff you mix with water. Think positive and you will be fine.

Just figured out how to do this as the forum has changed so much since i was here last. Sorry you\'ve had to go through so much with bowel resection etc and now both the tests. Good luck with the car situation.

I eat some fruit (seedlesss grapes), cherries, apples, and bananas without consequences if it is a small amount.
