that's weird, my dh has those periodically and they let him eat clear stuff - chicken broth, etc, the day before. The procedure itself apparently isn't bad at all, its the "atomic blasting juice" (as we call it) the night before that isn't so great. But GL! [ Reply | More

did you actually lose any weight? That would be a nice bonus. I've had to cut out veggies because they aggravate my "issues" and it has helped me to gain about 5 lbs. No big deal, but I'd rather not have the xtra weight [ Reply | More
