I have written before about the struggle I have with my stomach, and as a part of this I have to have certain procedures every once in a while. Tomorrow I have to have a colonoscopy (4 and counting unfortunately) and the procedure itself is a breeze but the day before the procedure is torture. Starting at 7:00 in the morning I have to drink this weird rotten orange tasting chemical that causes me to be "cleaned out". This stuff not only tastes bad but when you mix it with water it turns hot! Then I have to wait until it is cooled to drink it. Along with having to drink this weird mixture I'm not allowed to eat, I can only have clear liquids though with my aversion to sugar I really have nothing except chicken broth to drink (and it only has 20 calories in each serving).
At 2:00 I get another dose of orange chemical and by now the hunger is making me a bad person. I'm cranky and want to eat but I have so many more hours in the day! I could never be anorexic.
