My Colonoscopy Experience Pt 2.
I'm so sorry I didn't post the part 2 right away but here it is.
Basically, you will want to do a clear liquid diet a few days prior to your procedure. Nothing with red food coloring. I stuck with lemon Jello, chicken broth and Sprite. Let me tell you, as someone who loves lemon, I get queasy just thinking of it now.

My Colonoscopy Experience Part 1
For those of you who have never had to do a colonoscopy prep, I'm going to give you some tips on what I have learned. There are different types of prep for different individuals. A person who is diabetic, for example, will not use the same prep that I used. (My husband had to mix Miralax with Sugarfree Gatorade, use Gas X Tablets, and Dulcolax ( Read more... ) -
Monday is the big day
My 2nd Endoscopy since 2006? My 1st colonoscopy. I'm so not looking forward to the prep I have to drink for that. I'm going to prepare it Saturday night and then put it in the fridge for Sunday not Fun Day! Oh and I got my cycle after not having it since May. Perimenopause is a biotch. Do not recommend. I go in at 11 am. Was scheduled for 7 but ( Read more... ) -

Not all non dairy is created equal
I started eating cereal again. I love Almond Milk. I don't have any issues with that. However other non dairy milk triggers my stomach issues. I bought a new one from Silk that had the claims 2% reduced fat on the carton. It's listed as Oat and other plant based alternatives. Oh lordy! Never again. Tossed the whole carton out. Maybe it was a bad ( Read more... ) -
holy toledo!
I honestly forgot I had this blog. So much has happened to me over the years since my last journal update. In 2010 where I last left off I was in the process of getting a house with my 1st husband. So I guess that's why I forgot to keep track of my progress and quite frankly stopped blogging here. We had 17 happy years together before he was ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Money to burn
If it's going to disappear after two weeks,I would probably buy food for everyone. Since that disappears in your tummy anyway. :) -

Chicken soup a no no
Tried eating Campbell's Condensed Chicken Soup for lunch today. I didn't even get through half the bowl before my stomach started to rumble. Had to fly into the bathroom. Now I feel like I am starving so I ate a piece of bread. I had a roll with the soup which was a potato roll. Maybe it was a combo of the soup/roll? Either way,Chicken soup is ( Read more... ) -
No deli cheese!
Tried eating deli cheese from Shop Rite today for lunch. Made a Toasted Cheese Sandwich. Took my Lactaid Pills to no avail. Ugh... Never again. Unless it was the mustard,which I doubt. Either way,deli cheese is something I am going to avoid from now on ( Read more... )
