I think you will be fine. I just saw my PCP yesterday and she said it's a breeze. You might just feel a little sore throat from the tube afterwards. I have to do an endoscopy/colonoscopy on 7/11. The only thing I think will suck about that is the "colon flush" the night before and drinking 8 glasses of the crap you have to drink.

Yuck!

Let us know how it goes.

Yeah, PattyGee! Wish I didn't have to go through that one, but I'm over 50 so I needed to do it anyway! Getting endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time on 7/11.

Boo hiss!!

I'm having an endoscopy/colonoscopy tomorrow and I have to start the "flush" in a couple hours. Good luck to both of us, I guess. Lol. :-)

You'll do fine.......FYI the results from the colonoscopy put me at a higher risk for colon cancer.....now have to be tested every 5 years...My aunt died from colon cancer recently......I'll take the discomfort for 2 days if it'll save me from what she went through....I just don't have to like it LOL Good luck!

I'm sorry about your Aunt! Finding out that you are at a higher risk now is good, because you can be one step ahead by getting regular screenings as recommended by your doctor.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
