GI exam prep

[mellowtigger]

I've lost count of how many times that I've needed to go to the restroom today. I don't even start the chemical preparations until tomorrow. This is just my second day of So Very Much Water with low fiber diet.

Yesterday, on the first day of this regimen, I got through work and ended the shift needing bathroom breaks every 30 minutes. I'm short on sleep now, after needing to get up 4 times last night too. Today, I worked 1.5 hours before giving up. The bathroom recurrence time shrank from 30 minutes to 20 minutes, then 15 minutes. I gave up after 1.5 hours, and I just called it a sick day and logged off.

I'm eating even less today while still drinking So Very Much Water. I switched from pants to robe, making those bathroom trips even easier. *laugh* I do my final cleanse routine on Thursday evening. I show up at 6:30am on Friday morning for the GI exam.

As usual, I'll be glad to eat regular food again as soon as it's done. And stop drinking so much water.

I feel your pain. It's been many years since I had that same sort of procedure. Not fun, I get visited by the ghost of that time constantly in my old age. Don't know if it is because of overactive kidneys, a shrinking bladder or "So Very Much Water" but these days I normally only get 2 or 3 hours of sleep at a time then get woke up by a call of nature "in a shrill unpleasant voice" as I read about it in some book I read many years ago. At least it ends soon for you.

Yes, at least it'll be over soon. I ingest nothing today but apple juice, Sprite, lemon jello, and so very much water. Until I start taking the chemicals from 4pm to midnight. Then I show up at 6:30am arrival time. None of this part is fun.
