I’m sorry for all the posts but it helps me feel less alone.

I drank the first bottle of prep and it was pretty disgusting. I felt a little nauseous right after but it subsided. I’m nervous to drink it again in the morning.

I’m also starting to get nervous for my procedure. I haven’t had an IV in a while so that’s scary to me. I also am afraid the anesthesia will make me sick

Try some box breathing before you go to your appointment. Close your eyes inale for a count of 4, hold for a count of 4 and exhale for a count of 4. Also the number doesn't really matter, you can make it to whatever number works for you. As long as it's inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth in a slow fashion. Maybe even on the exhale, let out a sigh.

You will be okay. You got this. I agree those meds taste God awful. You would think they could make it flavorful 😂 Don't worry about getting sick at the place in fact it's the perfect place to get nauseous at because you got nurses.

But you will be okay and we will be right here waiting for another update from you 🫂❤️

hang in there ! The worst part is the prep. The procedure is not bad. Tell them your concerns about the anesthesia maybe they can do something to help the sickness afterwards. Keep your head up!!

Yes! My dad is bringing me and he’s been really supportive. I’m just so scared the anesthesia will make me sick. I have a huge fear of throwing up

They can give you medication for nausea and vomiting if that happens. Tell them in advance what your fear is. They will be ready if that happens

Is it normal for me to have a headache right now?

It's probably from not eating.

I had one when I got there and because I was prone to migraine they gave me something IV.

When are you leaving
