Default Query

So after two days of a low fiber diet beginning tommorow, I will be drinking three bottles of citrate of magnesia (cherry flavored) over the course of this Sunday.. Would it harm things if I mixed it with some vodka so I can be at least a little bit buzzed or will it screw things up for Monday??? The instructions say only clear liquids Sunday and ....well vodka is clear.

It would certainly harm the vodka...

I'm not a doctor. I think I took that stuff before my colonoscopy.

Three bottles???!!!!??? Are they kidding????!!!???

You won't need anything after the first bottle - you have my amateur medical opinion on that.

I'd say; you're ok, take it with the first bottle because it'll make the other two somewhat more tolerable

If you're preparing for what it sounds like you're preparing for, the vodka might make it go a little easier...

That's what I'm thinking. One good thing is that the Doctor says there is a very good chance they will find my head somewhere up in there.

If a bottle of vodka doesn't flush things out, nothing will.


P.S.
Good luck with your....uh....procedure.
It may be easier on you to show up still buzzed from the vodka.

Look at it this way, vodka is made with a form of potatoes, gin is made with juniper berries, not sure which food group either on falls into. They both will make things slide a little easier. Good luck with it whatever way you decide to make it go down easier or come out.

I have had a few of those "Procedures" and the lack of food gave me a pretty good Headache on its own

Personally, Adding Alcohol into the mix would not have been a good thing

When I had the procedure I got a powder laxative from the pharmacy and mixed it with water. I chugged a big glass every 15 minutes. After a while I was shivering. I was told later that that was caused by the fluids I was losing and I should have drank some water. My advice is to drink lots of water. I never added vodka, but i have heard of other people doing it, just go easy.

Monday if you are lucky, Demerol will make you smile throughout the process and a few hours when you get home.

Make sure you post Monday after the snake dance.

'm with you Caj. I had it done a while back. Had a delay when an emergency came up. Was in a very small room with no window, had a panic attack & started to leave the hospital in my gown. I would have given anything for small glass of Vodka. The procedure went well later on , only found one small pollup.

Just had my "procedure" yesterday. My prep included two bottles of Surprep twelve hours apart with an ungodly amount of water. Thought I would bust. Told the Doc I thought waterboarding was outlawed. The prep is definitely somewhat of an ordeal but the actual colonoscopy was a breeze as I was placed under general anesthetic and didn't know they did it until it was finished and they woke me up. Only thing is they told me the anesthetic was the same drug that killed Michael Jackson. Oh great, did they really have to tell me that?

Found and removed a couple of medium sized polyps and the doctor said there was only about a 5% chance they were problematic. Still have to wait for the lab results though so I will be a bit apprehensive until I get the results. Probably have to repeat in 3 years. Yeah it's literally a pain in the butt.

Yeah, but the pain doesn't come from the procedure itself. It comes before it.

I have had a couple of these procedures over the years and there is nothing to it. The Doc will tell you he will keep you at the point of almost being under, but not quite, so you can make decisions (small talk) but don't believe it because you won't know anything till its over. The Doc always told me that I talked to him during the procedure but I don't believe it. The tough part is the preparation for the procedure and sounds like you have that figured out except I would leave out the Vodka. Good luck and just think about it like this---It might help your outlook on things. Just sayin

Cherry Flavor? For 6 bucks, you can catch the bus to New Iberia. If you slip the security guard $5.00, he'll let you climb into the pepper vats to scrape out the sludge from the bottom. That sludge, mixed with the vodka of your choice, will cure any ailment known to man. The Tabasco diet is the best kept secret in this country. Saddam Hussain tried to alarm the world against our use of this stuff.... well you know what happened to him.

If you haven't already, have seat belts installed on your toilet. If not, wear a good helmet and put your sheet rock repairman on speed dial. When the train gets ready to leave, you won't have much notice. That stuff causes a thrust greater than a Jupiter rocket. I had mine done last year. I woke up in the middle of the procedure and thought I was in a cave until I realized it was a TV screen. Don't talk to any clients until at least 24 hours after the procedure unless you have good E&O insurance. Don't worry about any polyps. That stuff you eat (and drink) would have already killed any of them. What was the original question? Good luck and smooth sailing.

Someone sent me these before my procedure.

  1. "Take it easy Doc, you're boldly going where no man has gone before!"
  2. "Find Amelia Earhart yet?"
  3. "Can you hear me NOW?"
  4. "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
  5. "You know in Arkansas we're now legally married."
  6. "Any sign of the trapped miners Chief?"
  7. "You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out..."
  8. "Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!"
  9. "If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit!"
  10. "Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity."
  11. "You used to be an executive at Enron didn't you?"
  12. "God, Now I know why I am not gay."
  13. "Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is in fact not up there." (our favorite)

Definition of optical rectalitius, that's where the optic nerve is connected to the rectum. Give one a ****** outlook on life. Robin Williams once did a skit regarding the procedure. If you ever find it you will literally die laughing, it's that funny. good luck. Frank

I've found keeping a tube of Desitin handy helps the pre-procedure pains quite a bit. Other than that it's really not all that bad. On my first one they found a bit of cancer, which was remedied with a bit of surgery. Hasn't been back since, but it changes your approach to the procedure a bit. Not that I look forward to it, but it's for a good cause.

My wife and I have to get our second ones scheduled in the next couple of months. Can't wait.

My wife must like the anesthesia cause after the last one she came home, took a nap and was goofy all day. Me, I woke up as the doc was rolling up the hose and actually felt pretty good. As soon as I got home I cracked open a cold one and was talking to the neighbor out in the driveway.

All I can say is that when I prepped for this, I finally had time to read Atlas Shrugged.

Weigh yourself this morning and again right before you leave for the "procedure" on Monday. Scary...

I have had 4 colonoscopy's over the last 20 years and save up a bunch of good magazines for the prep. Take a good cigar into the John with you (keep window opened) and make the best of it.

I should send you a sack or two of White Castle Sliders - to hell with the Citrate of Magnesia!

The prep is the hard part - the rest is a piece of cake!

Ah the o'l butt-0-scope. So many words. Where to start? The first procedure I had was the sigmoid type. Instrument of torture was only about two feet long. Doc didn't bother with pain killer, said he wouldn't be there long. Now I know how my wife feels. I was on my side, facing away. He forewarned me of each step, "Now we have to lube, this will be my finger." "OK doc, I can't see back there I am going to have to trust you."

A year or two later Dad died of colon cancer. Not a good way to go. Now I am on the high risk list and get violated every two years. This year is the year. I have had so many I am starting to look forward to them.......NOT.

One time they gave me the feel good shot and I told them I wanted a six pack to go. The nurse misunderstood and asked, "Sex? Did you say you wanted sex to go?" "Sex, shot, it doesn't matter. There is going to be a nap afterwards."


One time I woke up in the middle of the procedure and looked up at the screen the doctor was watching. "Hey is that me?" "Yes it is." "How do I look?" "So far so good." He must have given the gas passer the nod because I was out like a light after that.

You had better drink that vodka with the first dose because you won't have time to pour after that first one hits bottom. The first time I prepped I had to drink a gallon of some stuff. 12 oz. every half hour. First one went down with no results. I had to go just after the second round. Intervals kept getting closer. I ended up drinking the later ones while sitting down. I should have just inserted a garden hose and turned her loose. I told the nurse I left about a pint, I just couldn't get it down. She said I was one of the better ones.

It ain't my first rodeo. That's why I scheduled it for Monday so I could be around the house the three days before. It be what it be-three days of discomfort for a procedure that is basically a freebie at screening for a cancer that could save your life ain't no big deal. Besides on the way home you get a free pass on the flatulence-and momma will feel sorry for you and stop to get you donuts

Stay away from the vodka, you might fall off the pot, and that could be a real, big, nasty mess. I don't know why they make you drink all that stuff. I've had a test done once, that I just drank a little 6-8 oz. bottle of magnesium citrate, tasted like salty 7up. it seemed to do just as much as a gallon of that other forumla. When there's nothing left, there's nothing left. But anthing is better than Castor Oil. God, that stuff is like cardboard soaked in rancid cooking oil.

The meds you will get for la-la land are way better than Vodka. Drinking (choking down) the prep is the challenge!

I don't know a darn thing about this procedure personally, as, at 48, I've never had one, and I DON'T intend to get one.
Now, if Missus Fan decides I just have to have one, I can refer back to this thread, and blame it all on you guys.

Thanks, by the way.
Jim

Exactly, I saw a co-worker die of colon cancer because he refused to have a colonoscopy even though his brother died of colon cancer. It was indeed a horrible death, slow and agonizing @50 yo. It well could have been prevented if he had been screened.
I've heard all the excuses not to have one, they're all quite ridiculous.

I have had several colon cleanings, the last one I talked my wife into writing Tunnel Ahead Remove Sunglasses and Turn on Headlights on my butt cheeks. The doctor had a good laugh. I did tell the doctor that if he found that nickel I swallowed when I was 6 years old he could keep it. I asked to doc to make sure my butt didn't show up on Youtube.

When my wife had hers she was babbling to the nurses that she had to get going because she was late for her tee time. She actually was pretty hilarious. It doesn't take much of anything to get her going. When we were in college I told her that was why I always liked her because she was a cheap date.

I had my first 2 years ago -- the anesthetist was trying to be funny and said "This guy's a lawyer -- we have to start on the other end first"
i.e my mouth; and the nurse then said that "on lawyers the two ends are interchangeable" -- I actually laughed - I was already loopy from the pill they had given me earlier -- all dignity was lost at that point anyway, so what the heck, go with the program. No polyps and went home that afternoon and sat on the back patio reading with a big glass of iced tea.
