    Hi Barb!

    I just had mine done last Thursday and know your pain. Wednesday was not fun but worth it in the end. No polyps found and given the "all clear" for another year. Sending HUGS for today and good vibes for tomorrow.

    Congrats, Lisa.

    Thanks for the good wishes.

    Thanks again!

    Barb, I'm following in your footsteps. I start my liquid diet tomorrow, take 4 pills at noon, then at 2:00 start drinking an 'improved' 2-liter liquid that's tangerine-flavored. My test is early Wednesday. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.....hope you get good results. Mine's routine screening, not expecting any problems, but ya never know. This is my 2nd screening in 5 years; I had a paternal grandmother that succumbed to a latter-stage CRC diagnosis.

    I'm shopping for lemon jello and banana popsicles tonight....YUM!

    Good luck to you Pepperdog.
    I took the pills at noon , but don't start the drink till 6pm.

    With the way I'm feeling now, it's a good thing I am waiting.

    This is my 2 year from surgery scope. Worried, but not too much. It's a tough thing, this 2 year mark.

    Next a PET and possible removal of the port.

    We'll see.

    I had pineapple jello for lunch. I am eagerly awaiting my lemon italian ice for dinner. :(

    Thanks for the well wishes.

    Yeah Barb the prep sucks but having to get a colonoscopy means good things in the grand scheme of things. I will have you in my prayers (as usual) tomorrow.

    Hi Barb,

    I'm a little late in wishing you well. I hope everything went fine and you have great results.

    Hugs,

    Kay
