Oh god. I figured it’s going to be bad when it said to mix in the whole bottle of laxative and when I read the dosage on the bottle, it said there were 8 doses.
T-minus 2 hrs until the first cocktail.

It’s cos the flushing process becomes easier with less fibrous food sticking around inside there. I had polyps found when I was about 16 years old, non-dangerous, but with my family history, I have to get tested every 4 years at this stage. The pooping is pretty mental and the drink tastes like absolute crap. Although there’s nothing like the feeling of a giant burger right after you leave the place…

Yep - I am a once every 2 years man at the moment (cancerous polyps a couple of years ago)… so you get used to what to expect.
But yeah, that first burger (High n Dry if you are in Leichhardt) post the procedure is magic.
The last one I had, as I was being wheeled in to the procedure, they asked if i minded if a group of student doctors obseved and there, in the room, was 10 or so faces eager to look at my arse being penetrated with a camera.
Good times.

Are you sure you were in an operating room?

Mrs has the same thing and goes through the same trauma. Don’t think she has had 10 interns look at her butthole though!
She should ask nicely

Is that the deck below Clive’s quarters on Titanic 2.0?
You’re awake when they do it?
I’ve been assured I’ll be asleep, albeit not with general anaesthetic. They mentioned some other drug which I’ve forgotten. Supposedly has a faster sleep to wake time than a general.
Also, you (and Paulska) now have me planning a burger post procedure. I’m currently starving yet also have a tremendous pit in my stomach. One litre of the cocktail has been consumed, now playing the waiting game.
And the last thing you remember before they give it to you is being asked if this rag smells like chloroform?
Yeah, you take a drug and then they gas you when you get into the procedure room. You are out before they count to ten.
You’ll then wake up, feel a bit stoned for 15 minutes and then its burger time
That waiting game is a false dawn… you’ll get the urge and think - oh thats not too bad… and then boom… its game on son

Im sure that’s an option for certain individuals…
MrRooney hit the nail on the head though, you’re out before you know it. Just don’t be worried if you poop blood for a day or two, especially if they cut something out.
Make sure you’re drinking a whole heap of fluids though. Jelly also really helped me the day before (as long as it’s not red). My mum, a few years back, misunderstood the directions and didn’t have anything for 48hrs before, including fluids etc. Ended up in hospital with serious dehydration.
Sugar free sprite…
When they ask you to count back remember to do it as fast as you can, in case anyone has a bet on and had underestimated you.

That sounds way too specific.
This is not the thread I thought I’d be reading when I saw 20 new posts in Gear Grind.

You are sedated not asleep so you can respond, and move if needed but you won’t remember any of it.
