I Am Scheduled For A Colonoscopy This Morning At 10
I am scheduled for a colonoscopy this morning at 10 am. I am 62 years old. Yesterday, i was not supposed to have any juice or anything with color (orange) just clear liquids.
I take metamucil (orange with a bit of orange juice) 2 or 3 times a day. Yesterday, i took my metamucil in the morning and at 1:30 pm as i hadn't had a bowel movement in over 48 hours. Not having any greens and fruit skins for 4 days really screwed up my system. I took my my dosage of suprep at 6 pm last night and at 3:15 this morning. i will need to tell my doctor and will need to reschedule again correct? Having the metamucil and a couple of ounces of oj will compromise the test and they will see i screwed up. Don't want to have to go threw this again in 1 year because of poor prep?
