I've done five colonoscopies. My advice: Ask for the new pills. The Miralax prep

is okay if the pills aren't an option. But the 135-ounce GoLYTELY prep is absolute sadistic torture. I can't believe that stuff is still around. Insist on one of the first two preps.

Well the Def Leppard one is a great song

Yep

Totally unnecessary to start this early.

Agreed. Just don't eat any nuts or seeds and you can start 12 hours before

I have to do them once a year. Very familiar, unfortunately.

My advice is don't fast that long.

Worst part is the drink. 2nd is the fasting. Ur torturing yourself for no reason

Agree on worst. Ring of fire may be the second. But the "nap" is probably the best nap ever, son it's worth it 😀

TNT is not joking. He had to drink 2.5 gallons of that stuff. It was brutal

Pills are the way to go.

Sprite used to be my favorite soda. Now I can't tolerate the sight of it.

what's the downside to the pills? Why doesn't everyone do that?

I’ve been told they’re bad for your kidneys

DiamondMo

Not everyone is allowed to take them depending on medical history &/or medications.

Wisdom. Do NOT do the GoLYTELY prep. It tastes like battery acid and vomit. Do

ArcticKat

May 14, 8:48am

Did you put the lemon packet in it they provide? I just did GoLYTELY last week

AF_Puma

Starts out almost tolerable but volume quickly makes it horrible. Team

Dang, I didn't even know that was an option. Unfortunately it's too late

Chicken broth and the right color jello are your friends on your clear liquid day.

I did it a month ago, it was not as bad as people make it out to be

The only downside to fasting before the procedure would be dependent on how deep

I'm drinking lots of water today and tomorrow so I won't be dehydrated.

I did mine back in December...
