- My body is starting to figure out that something is up for my diet but has no idea what he’ll is about to be unleashed on it.

- I probably made a mistake picking the only flavor of Gatorade that I actually like for my mix.

- I did not expect that adding that much Miralax would turn the Gatorade into almost a jelly.

This is going to suck, isn’t it?

As a friend of mine used to say, it’s at least one day in your life you won’t be full of $hit! It’s a simple procedure you should be sedated. Feedback is immediate and then you go home and hopefully don’t have to repeat for 5 years

I came here thinking it was going to be your first Orals. Turns out it’s an actual colonoscopy.

Nope, cameras in butts in here

Oh no. Wish you had asked earlier. The key is to just not eat for a few days before. The prep is the worst. Procedure and after non so bad. Take it easy getting back on food for a few days after. Good luck! It’s a critical procedure that could save your life.. all for a few days of inconvenience.

All good! So at the last minute I decided basketball probably was not in anyone’s best interests and stayed home instead. Which was prudent. I probably *could* have, but eh.

The prep wasn’t that bad at all. I was expecting to be ejecting like every 20 minutes and not being able to sleep, but it was not that frequent and I slept normally. Like I actually thought I would need to sit on a towel in the car and carry changes of clothes in case I shat myself, but it was nothing like that.

Procedure was super easy. I didn’t fully fall asleep, distinctly remember looking at the video of my guts and asking a couple questions.

Solid nap and some food and I’m on the mend.

Get your butts checked, my dudes!

Age? When are they recommending it now?

The guidance used to be 50 and they recently lowered it to 45 (for men; not sure about women).

Dammit. I’ve been pushing mine away for a bit. Time to chew the Gatorade eh?

I think I made a tactical mistake in mixing the mix too soon. It said wait until afternoon but I did it first thing this morning because I’m in meetings all day.

I suspect it’s going to turn into jello and make it even worse. Good thing I have extra everything so if I absolutely have to, I can mix a new batch.

Sorry, I didn’t follow your comment. Never do what?

I had to drink that stuff years ago for a CT scan of my abdomen. I had the premix stuff and couldn't figure out if it was better to drink warm or cold.

When it comes time for the colonoscopy I'm gonna see if the doctor will just do one of those at home 💩 in a box tests instead. They are supposed to be close to 90-95% as accurate as the camera. Of course if something is found they you still have to do a full colonoscopy to verify it.

Those are fighting words for GIs

1 glass down, 7 to go (3 tonight 4 tomorrow).

I feel thunder rumbling in the distance but no storm yet. First one went down easy.

Finished all 4 classes easy and nothing is happening. I’m going to play basketball at the gym.

Hope you got some depends

My anxiety makes me good at my job. My incessant checking, and double checking, and analyzing has earned me praise, trust, and early promotions. Sometimes I wonder, if I were to take medication to give myself some relief, and to stop the panic attacks, would I be less productive? And then I wonder, do I value my own health so little? But I’m so validated by my performance...sad isn’t it? Hope I’m not alone.

Had an FET transfer and just got the news that the pregnancy test is negative. Feeling very defeated about it. All my labs are good (AMH 3.1) and the embryos were PGA tested. Have only two left now, and this was the best quality one. The irony is I did feel pregnant couple days after transfer but then I stopped feeling pregnant. I read that some women don’t really “feel” pregnant until 6-7 weeks… but i did “feel” then stopped. It just sucks. If you have any advice for coping, I’d appreciate it.

At the beginning of quarantine, I was really depressed. I was drinking too much alcohol, eating too much junk food, and generally not in a good place. I realized I couldn’t continue like that so I started a plan to be healthier. As of today, I am down 11 pounds & am my lowest weight in years! It has been a slow weight loss but I am focusing on making sustainable lifestyle changes that I can keep up. I am so excited and proud!!
