OK...I'm in the middle of this lovely prep procedure. But there's a problem. That nasty liquid that I have to drink (those of you who've had it, you know what I mean)....uh....it's not really working. I'm almost through the first gallon and I don't know if I can drink the 2nd gallon because I'm so nauseaous (SP?).

Everyone always talks about "being in the bathroom all day"........not me, hope this doesn't mean I'll be up all night.

I've been uh........busy. LOL!!

Yes, I've often been told that I'm full of it!!!

...and yes, my oldest son is taking me. poor kid, doesn't know what he's in for.

i'm just hungry.

You can drink broth (chicken or beef).

You can drink broth (chicken or beef).

Sharon, some Colon/Rectal surgeons do not like for you to even drink broth, it colors up the mucosal lining sometimes. Or, at least that's what mine told me.

I was NPO (nulo per ostum = nothing by mouth) from midnight, until after the procedure.

And it was nothing but clear liquids the day prior to procedure. I think chicken broth was on the list, but am not entirely positive.
