Chef gets a colonoscopy

Yeah, I had the same sore throat after, but they made sure I was all the way out for mine.

 

The prep has gotten much better in recent years. Previously you had to dissolve some kind of powder in the Gatorade and drink this vile concoction over the course of a few hours.

 

This entire board has gone from the virtues of Limp Bizkit to colonoscopies in about 20 years.

 

... or does listening to too much Limp Bizkit prompt a colonoscopy?

 

My instructions were to purchase a 238 ml bottle of Miralax and a box of Duocolax tablets but only take 4.
Then take Gatorade or water or other clearing liquid, mix it with the powder, and drink it over the span of 2 hours.
It took a while for it to kick in, but once it did……Eureka.
I’m pretty sure I krapped out a quarter I swallowed when I was 8.

 

Any toenails show up?

 

Not a single one.
My wife kept telling me to put socks on. I’m not certain if she thought my feet would get cold or if she didn’t think anyone would want to see those 2 hideous things that are attached to the bottom of my legs.

 

There are prep pills, but my new GI doc doesn't offer them. The liquid made me gag repeatedly, so an alternative would have made the process slightly less awful.

I slept through the whole test this time. I woke up during my first one and greatly enjoyed the tour of my innards, even asking questions about what I was seeing.

I mentioned that during check in, so maybe I got an extra dose of anesthetic.

 

Yup. That is very similar to what they had me do.

 

Yes, that was the stuff I had to deal with when I had one in my 20s. That stuff was truly vile.
