Everyone keeps saying the prep is the worst part of the colonoscopy. What does it consist of?

Well, apparently there are a couple of options. The old school way is you have to drink a gallon of the prep liquid over a 24 hour period. My dr (who is one of the best in BR) had me eat breakfast Tuesday morning and then Start a liquid diet at 10am. So I drank a ton of water, Gatorade, and at like 4:30 my wife made me a bowl of beef broth that was incredible. At 6pm I drank my first prep. It was a 12 oz bottle of liquid that tasted like pedialite. At 6:30 the fireworks started. It wasn’t like I couldn’t hold it. But it was every half hour on a he hour til about 9:30-10pm. I slept fine through the night. Then i drank my 2nd bottle Bottle at 6am. Same thing every half hour on the hour til about 9:30. Drove to the dr. And then the procedure happened shortly after. My experience was nothing short of a breeze.

You get an RX from the Dr. and it is some of the most foul tasting crap to drink, and you have to follow that with a LOT of water. DO NOT be far from a toilet after drinking that stuff or you will shite yourself.
I had to do one dose of that stuff around 4 pm the day before the procedure and again at 3 a.m. You will not believe how much you can empty out of your bowels with that laxative.
There are many different types of prep, but they pretty much do the same thing.
ETA: My appointment time to be at the clinic was 6:30 a.m.

It’s just taste bad. Can make you nauseated. Large volume of fluid if you’re not used to it

quote:People always struggle with this. Three days out stop eating solid foods. Eat soups, mainly clear soups and broths. No extra chunkies. This allows you to minimize the prep. The stuff is basically pure salt and usually makes me vomit. Instead of drinking it all, I just do a few shots until the results are clear. Then I drink water or sprite the rest of the day. Nothing after midnight. I get to go first since I’m allergic to latex. In at 0600, out by 0700-0800. Propofol is the shiznit.
