Besides being hungry....and I did have broth/jello! I hope your appt for it is first thing in the a.m. mine was. The hardest part for me was so much diarehha (sp) my....How do I put this nicely?? Well, for lack of a better word...butthole from all of it. I called my Mom and she has Crohns so he has the problem most of the time.

Her advice was take baths for the burning, and I took several of those and that did give me some relief.

The colonoscopy part was the easist part of the whole process. And I have learned now that when I wake up from whatever they give you for that or any surgery I just want to get up and get out of the place. When I left I had a little bit of gas, but I was fine. I THINK THE PREP IS the worst part and you get thru that the colonoscopy isn't anything.
