Operation Anal Probe: LiveBlog, Stage 1

I was supposed to go on a “low residue” diet 3 days before this thing, which was Tuesday.  But I was still in Trinidad, where the food is incredible, so fuck that, yeah?

Irony: preparation for a procedure designed to screen for colon cancer involves a diet that, if followed consistently, would likely give you colon cancer.  A “low residue” diet includes a whole bunch of refined foods, and one is not to eat anything grainy, fibrous, or good for you ish.  No raw fruits.  No raw veggies.  No whole grains.  White rice, overcooked stuff, and bland proteins, though?  All good.

Yesterday, I ate: 1 spinach and feta croissant, 1 Wendy’s Quarter Pounder with fries, some Goldfish (which I only realized was the whole wheat kind after I had stuffed my face), some white rice, and some bland-ass yellow curry with chicken.

Today, I have ingested: apple juice, black coffee.  Chicken stock and laxative for dinner.  I should be on fuckin’ Top Chef, yo!

Not eating?  Makes you lethargic.  Which is not good for the 21-chapter preparation I need to do for next Tuesday’s Organization Theory test.  It also robs you of an attention spanSQUIRREL!

I would SERIOUSLY like to go edit my outdoor shoot images of Natasha (soulsistrin) and Cavelle (rastabunny).  Damn Org Theory.

Did you know that you can wipe your ass so much that is gets tender, and hurts like hell when more crap comes out?  I did.  Because this is my second colonoscopy.  Colonoscopy prep SUCKS!

Beats colon cancer, though.

  2. thekeri said: Ironically, the food suggested to a colonoscopy prep is the same kind of diet recommended for IBD patients, who are already at a high risk of developing colon cancer. Weird, eh? Anyway, I’m a pro at all this shit. You want a hug?
