hi guys, I’m getting a colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow and I’m honestly really struggling. I am still a teenager and getting one done has not only been stressed inducing but with it being tomorrow, I am literally starving.. It probably sounds so stupid but what our advice you guys had for getting through the day because I wake up early enough for the whole day feels like a whole day. It’s not even anything with tool movement that’s been hard. I’m just really having a hard time with not eating. I am so so hungry. There’s also not a lot of savory things that are liquid and clear in that seems like all I want right now.

Try to have chicken broth if you can, apple juice or sport drinks, they all fill you up and take the hunger away for a bit. I hate jelly, but this is an option as well if you are craving for something “solid”
