Colonoscopy

Hi, I recently had a positive fit test (10) so am having a colonoscopy tomorrow, it’s at 4pm. I have had my first lot of moviprep (EW) I really struggled it was vile but I did it, now dreading the second lot at 6am in the morning!!!!
I just want to know what if I throw this one up? As I was close with the last lot. And also can I have wethers originals sweets? My diet sheet says 24 hours before clear liquids, but also says boiled sweets so wondered if wethers count?
really dreading it all!

Hi! Good luck, yes worthers should be fine. Any sweet that's suckable but not red or pink.

To avoid the vomiting in the morning as you start to have it say to yourself over and over 'I like it I like it l like it' you'll trick your brain. Worked for me and I've had that delightful stuff for 3 procedures!

How did ur test go? Ive just had a positive fit test

Hi, I’m actually just waiting to go down for mine! Prep was pretty bad, mainly because the stuff was awful. But I’ll report back how it goes, praying it’s all okay as I have massive health anxiety so not the most positive person!!

Me too I’m freaking out.. let me know how u get on

All was fine! Couple of biopsies taken just from the bowel to check for stuff I can’t remember what but he said the bowel is clear thank god!
I had sedation, but I could feel it a bit and it was slightly uncomfortable but nothing too bad!
hope yours goes okay, I’m sure it will. Fingers crossed for you x
