One thing is for sure, I'm stepping on the scale the morning of.... Let's see how light I can go
Had my first in July -- a few years later than advised. My wife has had a bunch as she is a colon cancer survivor (15 years).
My wife hates the prep. I didn't think it was as bad as she said. Not that I want to get another colonoscopy soon. Fasting wasn't a huge issue as I was plenty busy doing other things. The actual procedure was nothing and I mean just that. They turned on the anesthesia and it was complete lights out -- no dreams, no nothing.
My biggest fear was not being fully cleaned out. Happened to my wife once. It means you get to do it again.
I was surprised/disappointed that my weight delta the morning of the procedure was not that great. Guess I'm not quite as full of $h1t as people say.
