colonoscopy, anyone?



Recommended Posts

I am slated to start drinking the poison in an hour or so. I am worried that I wil not be able to drink it all since I have the band.

Anyone having one since the band wil know what the above means. Anyone?

Thanks.

Hi - I had my first colonoscopy a few days after Christmas. It's liquid, so it flows right through the band, no problem. You'll just be sick of the stuff towards the end of the gallon.

My doctor told me that I could half everything since we have a smaller intake than most adults. You might ask!

I had mine before being banded. I held my nose each time I had to drink that stuff. Even the thought of it now... blah! I don't remember it being extremly thick. But I drank it quickly so it was kind of like chugging each time. I don't think we can do that with the band though.

Good Luck,

cheryl

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
