I hate this colonoscopy prep

[papie]

I haven't had the shits yet even though I drank one dose almost two hours ago.
But after a full day of juice, coffee, broth and jello, I want to puke.
Grumble grumble

And it is a beautiful day and a holiday. I could be drinking beer and getting ready to grill burgers.

I know I know, think of the soldiers.

[wambam]

They are awful.

I can never drink Gatorade again. *gag*

That sucks.

Preps are the worst. Sit on an ugly towel! As long as you have more than, say, two of them.

omg you are terrifying me.

I loled for real!

[julez]

Prep is the WORST.

I will never again be able to drink lemon lime gatorade. Or Sprite. Huuuurl.

[papie]

Omg

I am staying in the room closest to the bathroom for the rest of the day.

Why do I need to take two more doses of laxatives again?

[wambam]

I've done both and I thought the pill prep was actually worse. Eventually, I was having trouble getting them down.

[mudslide]

Preps are nasty. I'm sorry.

[papie]

Mine is two powders to mix with fluid, 4 hours apart. then two hours later, two pills.

now I am curious which one it was. The one I have to do is 6 pills, one pill every 2 hours then an enema as a bonus at the end  

my sister had one where she had to take mulple pills at once and she hated it

It was multiple pills an hour. 3, maybe 4? I don't remember - this was 5 years ago. And they were large.

It's crazy how there are so many different preps!
I just had to take 2 pills at 2pm, then drink Miralax for the rest of the evening. The Miralax doesn't have any taste, & I mixed it with Powerade. It was so easy to drink!

I wish I thought Miralax didn't have a taste, but BLECH! It totally does. I can usually only get through about 75% of the prep before vom-town. Sorry, Papie - prep is the worst.
