I Survived!

Over the weekend, I had to go on a special diet due to a procedure I had to undergo on Tuesday. Saturday and Sunday, I had to cut out all fresh (and canned) fruits and vegetables. On Monday, I could only consume clear liquids. (Guess what? Sprite is not filling!)

That afternoon, the fun began. I started the laxatives to clean my colon for the colonoscopy on Tuesday morning.

I don’t know how bulimics do it. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on anyone. My stomach still hurts.

Interesting thing, though. Out of curiosity, I weighed myself both Monday and Tuesday morning. On Monday, I weighed 195lbs. The next morning, I was only 190lbs. I guess I carry around 5lbs of crap! 😉

But, of course, I followed the Nutrisystem plan from Wednesday on and I weighed in at 193 this morning. But that’s still good news – I lost 2lbs this week!

For those of you who don’t know, a colonoscopy is an examination of the large intestine using a long, flexible tube with a light and camera lens at the end, called a colonoscope. Basically, the doctor sticks a camera up your butt to take a look around to make sure everything is O.K. Turns out, I’m O.K.
