Time to drink my barium banana smoothie!

[audry80]

My place stopped using the barium and I drink water instead right before. Sorry you have to drink that crap!

[thinkofthesoldiers]

Why do you have to do it so far in advance? Whenever I've had CT scans, I've had to chug the barium right before. Like one an hour before and the next 30 minutes before.

At least you have a banana flavored one. When I had my CT scan done a few years ago, I didn't get a flavor. 

[thinkofthesoldiers]

Huh. Well hopefully it stays down. I always feel like I'm going to puke.

I think I might prefer no flavor. I really hate fake banana flavor. I think they should just flavor everything like vanilla. Fruit flavors are tricky.

At least it's not bubble gum, though. That would be the worst.

I think I would have gotten one with a flavor if I had a choice. It was so gross. It was even worse when it got warm.

You had me puking at banana.

I hate bananas.



I am so sorry you have to drink them!

I had an upper GI this week. Had to drink the fizz then the barium. Omg, I booted all over the place. It was rough. And THEN THEY TIP THE TABLE. Fuck me. Good luck.

[underwaterrhymes]

Ugh. You have my sympathies. May the force be with you.

I hope your CT scan goes well!
