****Official Colonoscopy Prep Thread****
My last solid food was yesterday. Been giving myself shots in the gut twice a day for two days now. I made the "drink" today and it's in the fridge ready for tomorrow.

1. Is this your first time?
I used to work in a colonoscopy clinic. If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them.

5. The stuff I had really wasn't that bad. Plus, an occasional colon cleanse is in order.
I was careful for several days not to eat a lot of food that lingers in one's intestines before I got serious.
Plus, the anesthesia/sleep part is enjoyable. Good luck.
Because anesthesia is like a liquid pill!!

10. I read somewhere that John Wayne died with 45 pounds of feces in his intestines. Of course, he
had cancer, and probably a serious case of the affliction advertised by drug companies nowadays -- opioid induced constipation.
I feel good with a clean colon, light and fast. In fact, I was quite proud when the gastroenterologist said "I had the cleanest colon he's seen" after my colonoscopy. Despite what some think, I am not anal retentive.

11. That's an urban legend.
There's no way anyone could retain 45 pounds of anything in their colon without suffering colon-wall perforation and probably a nasty death. And if it was possible, it's not the kind of thing that could have an occult presentation, discoverable only on autopsy. He would have had to have had a massively-distended abdomen, and he would have been in very visible, distressing chronic pain.
Although I despise John Wayne and everything he claimed to stand for, I think this story is the invention of someone opposed to meat-eating who wished to assert that Wayne got what he deserved (whatever that might be.)
Somehow, I trust the primitives and their knowledge of any colon wall perforation. I'm sure some of them have, er, stories.
