Mayo is not on my list (so I suppose I better not have it (sad face)- I just never have chicken with no gravy or nothing. I think for the fish I might just drizzle a butter and squeezed lemon over it - or I am even thinking I could get cod or haddock from the chippie and remove all the batter...

Great! - I think I will use this list from 7 days before - thanks again

Cheese & crackers - any more snacks you can think of? x

Good tip - thanks - all are appreciated x

That is very similar to the list they have posted out to me but I have read that some do low residue/low fibre for 5/7 days before the procedure - did you just do it for the 2 days before or did you do 5 or 7 - can you remember? Also, do you have any ideas what I could add to the fish or...

So, I am trying to put a shopping list together for this - I will probably eat more fish & chicken in the days before - only problem is I don't like plain foods - I don't think I could eat just plain white fish (so I might do it in a butter and squeezed lemon juice - any one any better...

Did they do anything for piles or just leave them alone?

Thanks for the advice - I am still dreading it!

Thanks for that Ian - I had asked for sugar free but they have just sent other stuff, so I will just take it - so it didn't increase your blood sugar levels?

9 is a lot - thanks for the forewarning of the possible manhandling. Was the prep you were given sugar free (lime flavour I think) or just the usual ones?

Seriously, was it the sugar free lime prep yous got or just one of the normal ones? x

Thanks - yes I have read somewhere to cut back on fibre a week before but the info. they have sent out doesn't mention that, it just gives advice about what to eat from 2 days before ...

Thanks for the tip about the air - I will say if it feels too much

Thanks for the re-assurance that it won't be as bad as I think it will and also no discomfort afterwards x

I should have asked re: the prep did yous have the sugar free one? or just the normal one? I queried this with the nurse but she said it wouldn't matter what prep I am given as the prep stuff wouldn't be inside me very long

Thanks - I will need the sedation and pain relief to be relaxed me thinks x

I agree - I think I will have enough to worry about before it, without bothering about low carb as well, so a few days before I will have a little white bread, mash and maybe other stuff - I doubt it will do me much harm x Thanks also for the personal advice as well, as I would have worried...

Many thanks to you all for taking the time to share your experiences - much appreciated x

I have to have a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks time and was just wondering if anyone on here had had the procedure? and please tell me it was not as bad as you thought it would be? I am feeling over anxious and fearful of the whole thing - I have white coat syndrome, phobia of hospitals etc...

Thanks for taking the time to reply Ann - much appreciated I will defo be having some sedation & pain relief - I am over anxious about the whole thing and having white coat syndrome and a fear of hospitals isn't helping my situation x
