I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD TO GAIN WEIGHT AFTER A COLONOSCOPY

GRRR.....

IT IS SO FRUSTRATING! I GAINED 7 LBS. YESTERDAY!

WHEN A NORMAL PERSON PURGES THEIR SYSTEM FOR A COLONOSCOPY THEY USUALLY EXPERIENCE A WEIGHT LOSS. NOT SO FOR ME. IT IS BASICALLY A ONE DAY FAST IN ADDITION TO FORCING ALL THE EXCESS WEIGHT FROM YOUR COLON.

HOW COULD YOU NOT LOSE WEIGHT? EVEN IF IT IS JUST A COUPLE OF POUNDS. THAT IS ONE OF THE SILVER LININGS IN THE CLOUD OF THE COLONOSCOPY AFTERALL.

I COULD TELL THE PILLS WERE SODIUM BASED JUST FROM THE TASTE. THEY TASTE LIKE LITTLE, POWERFUL SALT BLOCKS. BUT I THOUGHT, "it's just a pill, how much salt can it be?" WELL IT MUCH BE ALOT BECAUSE I GAINED 7 LBS.

TODAY I AM BLOATED JUST LIKE THE MICHELIN MAN!

I AM DISGUSTED.

I HAD JUST STARTED TO LOSE THE WEIGHT THAT THE PREDNISONE PUT ON ME. IN FACT IT WAS RIGHT AROUND 7 LBS. THAT I HAD LOST. WELL, IT DIDN'T TAKE ME LONG TO FIND IT. I'LL PROBABLY GAIN MORE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER FEW WEEKS FOR IT TO FALL BACK OFF.

IT'S A LOSING BATTLE
