Re: Fasting, colonoscopy NEED ADVICE!

I am not understanding your prep routine. Mine was one day of only clear liquids and jello. Chicken broth. Absolutely nothing like Ensure. But it didn't matter once I started drinking that prep liquid crap( pun intended!) That just made me feel bloated and not hungry. And then visiting the bathroom occupied my mind for a fair amount of time. Then I was exhausted and went early to bed
As was said, get the earliest possible appointment
My doc gives some kind of twilight sleep stuff. He swears you are not unconscious but I sure was not aware of a thing until it was over
Keep the faith. You'll be fine. And happy to have it behind you( another pun intended)
