Fluids Today

I'm preparing for my colonoscopy I will be having tomorrow. So I will be busy drinking fluids then the preparation in the big gallon jug. Haven't even started the gallon jug drink yet, and all ready I feel half sick to my stomach.

Have had hot tea with honey, some apple juice and hot beef broth. For lunch I may have an orange Popsicle, more hot tea and more apple juice. Thank goodness it's only one day of prep, if it took longer then that I wouldn't have the procedure done.

I was told once you hit 80, you no longer have to have them, UNLESS, you are having problems of some sort. I was suppose to have had one about 7 years ago, but when the reminder came, I ignored it.

Everyone have a great day, I have to go find a sweater, I'm about froze.

I feel for you. Did that last year and the lack of food was the worst.

Praying all goes well tomorrow and it will be behind you instead of in front.

Patty, you're braver than I am !! It's not the procedure it's the drinking of all that fluid. I'd never keep it down.
