So I'm having a colonoscopy and endoscopy tomorrow

I'm not particularly enthralled with the idea of having something stuck up my ass and/or down my throat, but my stomach has been fucked up on and off for over a year now and I'm tired of it. It sucks not shitting solid for over 2 weeks at a time even after taking fiber and trying to eat healthy. In preperation for the procedure tomorrow, I'm not able to eat anything solid today...so I guess it was a bad idea to wake and bake this morning. I'm eating chicken broth and jello to curve my hunger pains. I've got to take some laxatives in 15 minutes and I'm defintely not looking forward to that. I'm going to be shitting my brains out until tonight. 
This sucks.

Well I did have to shit in a cup, scoop it out, and put it in some vials so they could test it for abnormalities. That was pretty weird.

They put you out for it so you don't remember a damn thing. I had to have a colonoscopy done a couple years ago. It only hurt a bit for like a day afterwards. There's really no need for pain meds however you may be able to score some anyhow if you play it out right.

Hmmm...I should try to get some loratabs somehow.

I had a gastroscopy (camera down my throat into my stomach and from there into the upper colon) without any anesthetic whatsoever!
Not very nice! 
Make sure they knock you out first!!!

You'll be just fine then, don't worry about it! 
I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy though...

This is the longest period of time I've gone without eating anything. I'm finally to the point where I don't have anymore hunger pains and I'm seemingly starting to feel more awake. I was feeling drained and lethargic all day long.
I've got to take the 2nd dose of laxatives at 2100 (20 mins) and I'm definitely not looking forward to that again. 
I'm thinking about lighting up after a few rounds in the bathroom...do you think that'd be a bad idea since it would make me hungry?

I feel ya man. I've had a colonoscopy done 3 times in my life (and I'm 21!). I've always had crazy stomach problems.
Like matt said, you'll be unloading all night. If you hadn't already taken the laxatives, I would tell you to go to the store and get some of those premoistened wipe things, because you're going to be pretty raw by the time it's over.
The procedure has varried for me. I've never had issues before, until this last time; about 3 months ago. I've only ever had the colonoscopy done, but this time they did the endoscopy too. That was the part that was bad. For the doctor at least.
The anestesia wasn't strong enough to knock me out (I'm 6'6" and weigh 245). They tried sticking the camera down my throat and apparently I started cussing them out and thrashing around and kicked shit over because the anstesia WAS enough to make me loose all my inhibitions.
They gave me twice what they thought I needed by the time it was over and everything else went smoothly, or so I was told
When I woke up my throat was sore, probably from fighting them and pulling the scope out of my throat a few times. Just mild discomfort in the bowel area. You'll be all crazy drugged feeling and you'll fart like it's your job when you wake up, because they fill you up with air.
Let us know how it goes. I know exactly what you're doing, and it's not too much fun. What matters is that they figure out the problem. Lets hope they tell you more than "You have IBS, eat more fiber."
Edit: Don't smoke! You might eat. If you do, it will ruin the results and you might have to do this shit over again. Just tough it out.

Well I'm finally back to normal now. I had it done at 12 o'clock this afternoon. I love the feeling right before passing out when they sedate me. They said my colon is perfectly fine, but I have a hiatal hernia.
Everything was fine except for afterwards when I remembered I was pumped full of air. I felt like I had to burp and fart but nothing would come out. I wanted to fucking die or just explode or something. But after a while of laying down, sitting up, and standing up, most of the air has come out. I just lit up a bowl and I'm feeling pretty damn good now.
