I don't know why people hate this so much
Not directed at you, Major Kong, but just in general. The hunger is certainly the worst part. You just can't drink enough broth and eat enough jello to stay ahead of it. I just get a good book and resign myself to a sleepless night on the can. My attitude towards this procedure lightened tremendously when a super fit female friend of mine went in at 50 and had stage 2 polyps and went through a really rough time getting cancer free.
What also helps tremendously is doing this in the morning, not afternoon.
Good luck, sir!
