I have the drink mix for the colonscopy. I also went ahead and got the flushable toilet wipes too. Is that all I need for preparation? I have jello and beef broth to drink for the 24 hours before procedure. So I think I am prepared there. Let me know if I am missing anything. Thank you!

I think you're good to go. I did chicken broth, personally.

My doctor didn't use the drink mix. He had me do a mixture of OTC stuff.

You'll be fine. The prep the day before sucks, and when you think you're done....you're not

I hope the procedure goes smoothly for you and you don't have too many discomforts!!

i HATED that drink. Make sure you drink all that you're supposed to. And do NOT move from the toilet or far from it.

The first meal after my colonoscopy/endoscopy I had Mcdonalds I needed FOOD

I had the OTC stuff, too, that I mixed with Gatorade. My advice is to drink it with a straw since you can drink it faster than sipping it normally.

Also, I was able to have popsicles and frozen lemonade cups (just nothing with red or purple dyes), so that helped me get through the day without food. I also chewed on ice when I got hunger pains, which somewhat helps.

Good luck, hope everything goes well for you.

Thank you everyone. I didn't get the wet wipes that had aloe in them because I don't find them but these are alcohol free.

The drink mix tastes awful so I agree with OPS about using a straw. I also suggest getting some type of chaser to take help the after taste. I used Sprite.

Another thing I really recommend is picking up some vaseline and using it frequently on your bum. Mine got so, so sore.

Good luck!

I chugged it sooooo fast when I had it.

And I second the vaseline. I wish I would have thought about it.

I just got the vaseline from Walgreens. Got the jello made for Thursday. Got gatorade to mix with the stuff. Also have beef brolun (sp?) cubes to make beef broth to drink on Thursday. I am trying not to eat that much right now so I can prepare my body for Thursday aka no food at all for 24 hours. Thanks everyone. Hubby thinks I am going overboard with all this stuff, but I told him you wait til you have to do it and I'll tell ya to stfu. LOL
