I think a nice medium rare strip or ribeye is called for Rob. With some shitty beer I've never heard of of course.

Yeah..."which" 24 hours? And was 24 hours all at once or broken up over several days...?

Time passes so quickly when you're having fun, the 24 hours might be done already.

OK....wrap up:

if you need one of these, get it done....it beats the hell out of cancer.

the only downside is the "prep"....there's a bunch of different ones, but they're all nuclear laxatives. so, night before, I drank a half gallon of the concoction over two hours. shortly thereafter, all hell broke loose but only for about an hour...then I slept. next morning, I drank the other half which produced more of the same. I think the suggestions to mix it with gatorade were the ticket...not so much for the taste, but for the extra electrolytes.

then, you go into the doc...get a little michael jackson propofol...and 45 minutes later (max) you wake up and you're done. the doctor's notes said my "bowel prep was excellent." that's right, EXCELLENT

to recap, you poop a lot and in my case go 42 hours without food . but it's worth it.

Very glad to hear that all is well. How long until you have to do this again?

Why do I get the feeling we may someday have a Save the Liver thread for Rob?

If I ever need someone to shit, I'm calling Rob. Awesome poop prep.

Glad all went well

Lets play a guessing game. How much in weight in pounds did Rob lose shitting out his insides?

I guess 2 pounds.

Empty Glass

4

No food. All water weight. May be more though

Amongst the Ani

Rob is full of shit. It could be a lot more.

Empty Glass

True...10 + then

SD48277

I would guess 5 (and about 2 of that is expired yogurt).

In my experience, Dulcolax + Miralax + Gatorade is the best prep. "Movi-prep" is the worst.

(I just got a bad taste in my mouth from typing out "Movi-prep" .... yuck.)

I haven't drunk Gatorade since something like 1983, when I had a terrible intestinal infection and couldn't have solids for 48 hours. But after this discussion I think I'll include it in my prep the next time I go through this.

maybe I could get an endorsement deal like Serena Williams, Jabari Parker or Derek Jeter

Tomorrows menu for me will be solely comprised of Magnesium Citrate, clear liquids and Jello. Well hey, there's always room for Jello, right?

When I recently came to the unfortunate conclusion that I must soon have my first colonoscopy my wife gave me this Dave Barry story to read. Still not sure I'm looking forward to the procedure but the Barry piece is a funny:

http://www.miamiherald.com/living/liv-columns-blogs/dave-barry/article1928847.html

that is some funny........shit. my favorite was this, oh so true, passage:

"Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons.) Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes -- and here I am being kind -- like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon.

The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, ''a loose watery bowel movement may result.'' This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground.

MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet."

I appreciate all the tips and the deadender's special PM. thing is, this is not my first rodeo....it's actually #5....my first was the "virtual" colonoscopy....don't let them fool you, it's WORSE than the real deal...you still do the prep and then they use a like cigar like object rather than the garden hose...but with the garden hose, you are knocked out...with the virtual, you are awake for the violation

then, I think #2 confirmed my cancer, #3 was shortly after surgery, #4 was a year after that, and now it's time for #5
