My Breakfast This Morning Will Consist Of One Gallon of.....

[rsmith6621]

.....Colyte and anti nausea medication as I am now officially on a minimum 3 day fast awaiting colon surgery tomorrow... I have mixed some Crystal Lite and Hawaiian Punch to kill the awful salty taste...this makes 2 gallons this month...

YUM YUM....20 minuites till the drink fest begins.

3. that stuf is nasty

I had to drink a gallon of it before a colonoscopy. I could dilute it with Hawaiian Punch though because I wasn't supposed to eat or drink anything red several days before the procedure.

Good luck on your surgery and here's to a speedy recovery. :toast: < (not Colyte)

I Think The Cocktail of Anti Biotics Tonight Will...

...Send me over the top...I have to take 12 in 2 hours... The Hawaiian punch makes it tolerable and as far as red I will be chasing it with water for four hours after that then I can have broth and apple/white grape juices...and a cup of Starbucks if I like until tomorrow morning.

Thanks everyone.

4. Sorry you have to do that! It'll be over soon..(excepting the aftertaste. That takes forever

to go away..blechh!)
Every time someone extols the wonders of modern medecine I think of that nasty stuff..

6. Ooh, I hate all that stuff, including magnesium citrate,

which I call 'magnesium shitright.' But polyethylene glycol sounds so much worse -- sort of like a poly engine fluid.

7. Thinking about you. Surgery means the problem is being addressed.

I've had several. 1 Major.

9. You may want to check with your doctor about drinking anything red.

When I fasted for a colonsocopy I was told to avoid red jello or red drinks of any kind. Don't know if that applies to surgery. That said good luck and wishing you a speedy recovery.
