Hang in there sweetie. It's totally up to you, but I wouldn't go with the carbonated beverages especially since you've been so sick. IT could make a difficult situation worse. As for the prep, I would just take a deep breath and do it. I admit I almost passed out before the prep stuff. I was so worried! As unpleasant as it is, it isn't any worse than what you have imagined - and probably isn't as bad as you think. Try to distract yourself - radio, anything to give you something else to focus on.
Seriously - who on earth is this Doctor? I'm asking because I want to switch and don't want to end up with yours. Is he in London? He sounds like a jerk - just like my Dr.
Consider that if you go through all of this, you can relax the minute it's over. Then it won't be hanging over your head.
As for the meds, I would take them as usual if they are a 'can't miss' kind of med. If you can, delay them until the end of the procedure which is in the morning anyway, right?
Hugs for your bravery,
Han.
- enjoy your 2-4 weekend! Try and relax as much as possible on Monday. Really take it easy.
