Anyone who has had a colonoscopy knows it is not a good time.
So, yesterday I had to face it.
All I could think was the doctors saying "well here comes another ahole."
So, I told them just before the procedure "you are not going to find my head although many think you will."

That covers it. I bought the liquid. Paid $70.
two 7oz. bottles. Add water to 16oz glass. So 32oz. Drink in one hour.
I could not drink that stuff. It gagged me. Took 1:40 hr. Had to sip and chase with chicken broth.

Did you have the lemon/lime stuff or the stuff people say tastes chalky and salty?

Take it from an expert. Ignore their list for the prep (unless you want to be up all night and crapping your pants on the way to the hospital) Next time try this
8 AM take 3 Dulcolax tablets
10 AM to 11 am start with 32 ounces of gatorade mixed with 4.2 ounces of MiraLAX
12 PM tom 1 PM drink another 32 ounces of gatorade and 4.1 ounces of Miralax.
You cleaned out and comfy before bedtime and just fine in the morning and no nasty tasting stuff. I use the gatorade zero orange flavored. I have had over 30 of them in the last 11 years.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

Suprep.
It was clear. It was horrible. By far the worst part of the procedure. I will never drink that again.
I had tested positive with cologuard. So, I had to do the colonoscopy.
All good two polyps removed negative.
I feel great now.

Damn.
I cannot imagine that.
Thanks for the advice. My hope is never again.

I've had one colonoscopy in my life. Maybe two? I can't remember (bad memory). I think just one. Anyhow, they put me to sleep for the procedure. It went rather well, I was out the whole time and didn't feel a thing. I'm pretty sure I did the same colon prep as GM. Bone, you shouldn't have to pay 70 bucks for the liquid. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/-/sc...scopy-prep/colonoscopy-prep-miralax.ashx

Well I thought because it was less liquid to drink it would be easier.
It was not easy at all. I will never drink that again. That is for sure.
