Like father, like son

Just remember that as a member of our online poop support group, we love you and we are here to support you.

I think of you all often.

Me too.

This isn’t even fun anymore. Butt pee is not very fulfilling.

my thoughts exactly.

such a waste...no pun intended.

This must be what a sieve feels like.

hopefully, you're not that far off from the procedure.

then you can eat and start crapping like an upwardly mobile citizen again.

So glad I still have four years to go before mine.

Procedure’s in a few hours so home stretch for sure. My deposits are light yellow and free of solids, so ready to go.

The day prior wasn’t so bad. I didn’t really get hungry, and you can still eat broth or Jello if you need something. The first dose is kind of shocking how quickly it works, but it’s also kinda nice to flush out the system. I got good sleep too.

Day of so far is a drag. I had to get up at 5am to take my second dose, and then it starts all over again but you’re over it. Also, I’m now hungry af and can’t have anything resembling food.

can you talk to your provider about doing it now as a preventative measure?

You should have weighed yourself before and after and then report the weight loss to the weight loss thread.

Maybe weigh yourself now and then a week later weigh yourself to see what you gained, etc.

Typically you have it done at 45, but he said I could wait till 50

Supposedly you’re still supposed to watch what you eat for the next day or so after, so I’ll probably just have some soup this afternoon. It’ll be amazing though.

They pushed the official recommendation back to 50 recently, but I know a lot of doctors disagree with that. Seems more so a cost and staffing solution pushing it back.

My dad had some colon stuff, so they recommended I get on it at 45. Also why I couldn’t do the poop in a box thing.

Yeah my doc was like, well, you really should do it, but you have zero family history with that stuff so you can wait.
