Colonoscopy advice

[bjjgirl]

Hello all
After bleeding with bowl movements for a few weeks I have been referred for a colonoscopy on Thursday.

Does everyone need sedation? I've had 2 kids and I have the coil so my pain threshold is high.

I have the prep stuff and I am eating white foods for now.

I have a competition for my sport (wrestling) on Saturday, but will I be ok to train after the procedure? Will I still be able to compete? It's tough exercise but I am very fit.

Also how does the procedure affect your weight? I have to weigh in before my comp.

Any extra advice

Thanks

Thanks for all the advice

Glad it was good news. Good luck for the weekend

Excellent update.

Did you struggle with the prep. Nothing is happening for me after 2 hours but I’ve only been able to drink 1/3 on 2 hours will keep drinking but lord it’s awful

@MeganMoo22 you need to down the prep faster than that.
Try putting it in the fridge (I poured a cup at a time), drinking with a straw and a lemonade chaser (I didn't risk anything coloured). It's vile and salty but you must get it down for the procedure to work.

I feel so sick drinking it. They told me to sip it and urgh. Considering I can barely drink a litre a day of something I like this is the worst
