Colonoscopy

So, in mid December I had my second colonoscopy.  The first one I had was about 4 years ago.  At that time, they took out 2 polyps.  This time, they took out 1.  I guess it was good to go in again.  I know they always say to go in and get checked by age 50, but I started getting checked at 36.  I guess it's good that I did.  The crazy thing about this second one is that I lost 8 pounds!  I couldn't believe it.  I didn't think I had 8 pounds to lose.  But, I did.  I guess the meds you take for the colonoscopy procedure is a good diet pill!

The first colonoscopy I had 4 years ago was a little different.  I didn't really know what to expect.  I did, but I didn't.  Before going in, my doctor had told me that I needed to take in more fiber into my diet.  I must have had that on my mind, because after the procedure and coming to, I kept repeating to Nichole, "what is fiber anyway?"  Oh, the crazy things you say after being drugged with the anesthesia.
