Guest guest Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 Well, here I am eating my chicken broth and drinking iced tea(they said tea was fine). The broth tastes pretty good...like chicken noodle soup without the chicken or the noodles. LOL Anyways, someone else I know is having this same test tomorrow so I suppose tuesday we will compare notes.LOL I told my parents I may not feel like eating tomorrow night right away but they better save me lasagne wrapups.LOL All we had last night were eggs and fried potatoes for dinner....I allowed myself a dish of ice cream cause I was so hungry. I'm actually starving right now but I'm sure that after I start taking my medicine that will be taken care of. I think what I had a few years ago was an upper or lower GI....don't remember but that wasn't too bad so I assume this won't be either. It sounds like it will be similar...can someone explain to me the difference?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well, you'll know the difference until you read this, LOL. This should have been much easier than the upper or lower since you're asleep for this. And I was absolutely starved as soon as I was done, LOL Kathy Sharon> >> > Sharon,> > I have been having colonoscopies since 1979 and never once have> > I had general anesthesia for that procedure.
