Flyinfool Posted July 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2013 It is that time in my life to face the music. I have procrastinated as long as possible. My normal diet has been screwed up all of this week. Only 2 cups of milk per day, no legumes, no corn no nuts, only bland food, not even anything with fiber in it. I can't even have ice cream. I have the innocent looking blue and white box sitting on the kitchen table. Yup you figured it out by now, the dreaded Moviprep. I get to start the first wave at 6:00 Thursday, last dose at 3:00 am Friday. Then figure out how to get to the office by 7:00 am Friday. I guess I will be online all night Thursday, I sure ain't gonna get no sleep. To fall asleep would be terrible. Reading the label on the box it lists as a "possible" side effect, yup loose bowels. Possible, really, just possible..........Side effect??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted July 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2013 EWWWWW... been there, done that. This is part of the maturing process. Well, by 3am, at least when someone says you are "full of it", you can say "NOT!!" RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted July 17, 2013 Just the concept of that 17,000 foot long fire hose is scarey enough. I am more afraid of that blue and white box on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kantornado Posted July 17, 2013 Share #10 Posted July 17, 2013 Because of family history I get them pretty regularly.The first one I had the guys I worked with had me so freaked out I was going to cancel but the wife won out. WAS SO GLAD I WENT. Would of been dead in 6 months to a year. I went every year for 4 years and now I'm at every 5 years. My brother in-law got another 9 years of life after they found he had colon cancer. So drink the stuff ( I suck on a Jolly Rancher) while drinking the solution. Nothing to it just get a ride 2 and from your appointment. I hope your clean & clear and congratulations on being part of the manly men regiment. It's part of life and is better then looking up at the grass........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted July 17, 2013 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2013 They let me mix mine with some apple juice. I asked if I could use JD. They said no only "clear" liquids. So I suggested Tequelia. A galon of the junk of whatever they gave me at the VA is what I had to drink. A few weeks later I talk to a buddy from the Seattle area and he said the VA there gave him something it was like 3-4 glasses worth and was done in 6 hr or so. Good luck.

dacheedah Posted July 17, 2013 Share #12 Posted July 17, 2013 been in your porcelain position, hope you have a laptop and wifi in the bathroom. So are you going to be in the naked and sitting ( or something that rhymes with it) chat room to, ah, ughm, occupy your time. Reminder medicated wipes make the experience slightly more tolerable.

Flyinfool Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted July 17, 2013 Yes I have a laptop and wifi. It will be an interesting chat room for sure. If anyone shows up. I promise to keep the camera covered..... At least no one will be asking for pics in this thread..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggy Posted July 17, 2013 Share #14 Posted July 17, 2013 Been there done that. They did me when I had to get my prostrate checked by a specialist. Since they need to get samples they decided to do the camera up the butt also. It would have been nice if they had have waited for the local, freezing, to take effect BEFORE they took the samples. But not much you can do when your in that position! Anyway the doctor who did the procedure was a very cute lady. So I had to ignore any discomfort to preserve my dignity. She told me not to worry there was nothing out of the ordinary up there. So I said "That's good to know. Now I can go home and tell the wife that when she calls me an "A** HOLE", that I am now perfect A** HOLE and I passed a test that proves IT. Just think of it as a right of passage into the world of the senior citizens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted July 18, 2013 It is only early morning of a day with no food and I am already cranky. I missed breakfast. A bowel of Jello chased with some apple juice is just not the same as real food. I am sure I will get worse as the day goes on. I mixed the first batch of the Moviprep this morning so that it can at least be cold when I start with it right after work. A predicted temp in the mid 90s with a heat index of 105 will not make me any more pleasant to be around..... Even the dog is keeping her distance today, she knows something is not right when I do not eat proper, also means she has no plate to lick.

RedRider Posted July 18, 2013 Share #22 Posted July 18, 2013 Jeff, Good luck. Getting old is a *****, but it beats the alternative. I'm involved with something similar and am not having any fun either. Maintaining dignity goes out the window when they are having object enter places that were previously exit only. Hope all works out in the end. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted July 18, 2013 Is that what they call a "Freudian slip"? Hope everything works out in the end! No slip...... that comes later. I am sure it will all come out the end....... Jeff: "Clear liquids" includes vodka doesn't it? It may help!! Jim Unfortunately they do specify even in all caps "NO ALCOHOL" I think that being tipsy or worse while making the mad dash could require me to have to burn the house down after this is over. Let us know, ugm gulp, how it all comes out Are you saying you want pics, or video????? I'll be in chat tonight while this is all going down.
