meh, I had one a couple of years ago and with all of the hype I'd heard from all of my friends I was expecting something really glorious and monumental, it was a huge disappointment

Just picked up my prep meds yesterday. Looking forward to the purge.

Starting the prep in one hour.
I'll let you all know how it goes.
Prayers...

I have to do one every year. They find polyps every single time. 48 years old with a family history of polyps. Luckily, we’ve all caught them early.

Had mine done about 6 months ago. Had 2 small bottles of prep and ducolax tablets. Actually wasn’t bad.

I just did a cologuard. No need for prep. Just shite in a bucket.

I've never done the liquid, but the pills weren't bad at all. I was just hungry, lol...

That video is about how I felt last week. It wasn't bad, actually felt better after The Purge. I was just hungry as hell the day before. Best part was coming home to half a pan of left over lasagna. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconbanana1.gif)

Mother got done with hers, walked over to let the dog out, passed out on the dog, and cracked her front teeth

My wife got a severely scratched retina having a colonoscopy 7 years ago. An injured eye from a doctor sticking a camera up her arse. I asked if they went to far or went in the wrong way...no one involved thought that was funny but I did.
They put her under completely but did not tape her eyelids shut. They partually opened and dried out and when she came out of the anasthesia she was blinking and scratched it. She was in some serious pain and the medical pros thought she had lost her mind until she went to our eye doctor. She still gets pissed when I tell that story and she is present!

Does using a bidet regularly help prep you at all?

Just had one a month ago. The doctor told me he mixes his prep liquid with beer. I don’t have to go back for 5 years. I’ll try that next time.

It is not that bad trust me. The prep sucks no doubt but you will be ok. Start eating very lightly for about three days makes it much better and then you will not even need all the prep. But do make sure you take enough so they don’t wake you up and say you have to come back because it was to messy to see things.
The actual colonoscopy is actually sweet. They put you on twilight where you may even sometimes be kinda staring out your eyes but you will not remember another thing. You can eat right after fyi. Have something planned. Then after you grab a small bite go get comfy and sleep the rest of the day. Next day you don’t even know it occurred.

I have done this too many times to count and lost 14 inches of my colon.
Here are the pro tips:
*Start eating light 2 days prior
*Clear liquids on day before include gummy bears if you need to chew something..remove red and purple ones...they make clear ones if you can find them.
*use full sugar jello, not sugar free and make your jello with full sugar 7up for the non-boiled part of the liquid ...holds you longer than water.
*baby wipes are a must..aloe, sensative skin kind...dab, don't wipe.
*Get a black coffee in you before your 4am round of fun, or you will miss your caffiene for the morning
*Ensure makes a clear protein product, but it's weird.
*Enjoy propofol....it's 30 mins of glorious dreams and sleep.

My first one is in July. They wanted to schedule it for 11am and I said uhh no way. Find me a day with 8am or earlier. I got the drink. Best advice I’ve heard is do light food 2days before and broth the day before with jello. I joked with my doctor and asked if I could eat Taco bell the day before. She said honey by the time you get here that will be long gone.

Is the breach over 40 the cause of this? I feel perfectly healthy, why would I put my body through this strain if I didn’t feel it necessary? Just looking for answers to why do it. I’m a 33yo for the record.
