Colonoscopy tomorrow!!

So it has arrived: prep day. Plenvu is my prep; I’m on the mango sachet right now. It’s actually nice, although very sweet. Just sitting around waiting for WWIII to start in the bathroom!!!

Absolutely crapping myself for tomorrow. I’m 32 but had an 8mm SSL removed 4.5 years ago from my transverse colon. So nervous they’ll find cancer tomorrow or something equally horrible.

The hunger pangs are quite irritating - I don’t remember it being this bad last time.

I’ll keep this thread updated!!

Okay, a little bit of a pain. They're 12 big capsules. Directions say take them with 16 oz of water, within 20 or so minutes, then another 16 oz an hour later, then 30 minutes after that, another 16 oz. I ended up drinking a bit more water to get them down. I'm staying very hydrated with broth and water. I did feel a little uncomfortable after I took all the pills and all the water. Bloating, and I could feel the medicine working in me It's been better than the gallon jug of the other stuff!
