I believe you can have cup a soup spring veg but strain it to get all of the bits out so that its clear that's what I'm going to have .

Thank you. I’ll add that to the shopping list. When do you have your test? 

Mines on Thursday. I collect my informations and meds on Monday. Good luck with yours, hope it all goes well and comfortable for you 

I've had one before ,I'll be having sedation again I never felt a thing the first time ,will you be having it or maybe gas and air ??

I’m going to have sedation, even if it just calms my nerves about the test and results for a bit. I’ve never had this test done before. I’ve had the camera down my throat which I didn’t like at all. But heard this is more comfortable 

The process is supposed to take around 30 minutes ,well even though I was wide awake the sedation must have worked well as it seemed only about 5 minutes ,its really weird .

That’s what I’m hoping for lol. Nice and quick and get home for a latte lol 

They will actually give you tea /coffee and toast afterwards .

Hello and thanks for posting,

You will get a letter from the hospital with instructions. There is information about getting ready for a colonoscopy on the NHS website

Clear soup means soup that has no added vegetables or noodles added so you would need to strain it well.  You are allowed the following fluids: Plain juices - apple, white grape, white cranberry and sports drinks • Fizzy juices - 7-up, lemonade and coke • Clear soup - chicken, beef and vegetable • Black coffee/tea • Lemon/lime jelly and icepops.

I hope it goes smoothly, 

Best wishes,

Vanda
