Colonoscopy prep..

Ulcerative Colitis survivor here. At least 8 of those things in the past 13 years. I always put the prep bottles in the freezer. I don't think that stuff will freeze solid. Then ice water when its time to mix. Mix and slam it. I always schedule for the first time appt in the morning so I don't feel like I'm starving myself. One time my doc showed up three hours late. He came in and was apologizing over and over. He said he was in the ER half the night trying to fish a golf ball out of some guys ass. True story...
I am preparing to consume the second half of the Lemon flavored laxative in prep for the scope in the morning. The strange thing I guess is sharing this experience on a forum "Sniper's Hide" High pressure loads for sure!
Seriously better this than missing an issue and ending up with a preventable illness.

Cant tell me your touch hole didnt get a little raw? Do you wipe your ass with minks?

It wasn’t bad at all. After I went through it, I was really scratching my head at all of the experiences I heard.
My doctor said it really depends on how regular you are prior. I go 3 times a day and the doc said that was why the prep was so easy. Nothing in there to really to flush out.
As someone else said, it would suck to die from something so preventative. Man up and get it done
Went out to put some new batteries in deer feeders yesterday with a buddy and dang we were hungry and stopped at The Wing House on the way home. I can ASSure you what I did to my toilet this morning is equal to or greater than any colonoscopy prep download. It looked like someone installed a chocolate lawn sprinkler in the bowl. Good luck hope you get good report from the doc.
It wasn't bad. I had top and bottom oscopys at one go. I told them to make sure they didn't mix up the probes. They thought that was funny...I wasn't joking.
Now I can put a name to my stomach problems, got me one of them German hernias. Himmler hernia sounds about right.
My butthole? Finest in the land. A couple diver tacklers or something, nothing to worry about. Doc bragged to me about how far in they got, "we don't always get in that far". "Yeah doc, how bout let's not brag that around the office....mmmkay?"

Three procedures down and to me the procedure itself isn't the issue. I guess I'm a pussy as some have mentioned, because that prep is awful. I struggle to get the 2nd jug down. I have chronic shits anyway (ulcerative colitis), so the shitting part isn't the issue however, it's far worse than normal and you're better off just staying on the pot rather than wiping your ass raw every two minutes.
Best of luck today! That first meal after is amazing!

I had a lot of GI issues as a young man and a family friend who is a GI guy suggested an upper and lower endoscopy.
He is a friend, as was the nurse in charge of sedation. So they told me how it went after, usually they just say nice things or tell you that you went right to sleep and didn't say anything dumb.
Apparently a ton of Versed and Fentanyl (they didn't use Jackson Juice [Propofol] back then) and a guy can still yell "IM NOT GAY, GET THAT THING OUT OF MY ASS!!!!!!
that was 21 years ago and my mom still thinks its the funniest freaking story every.

My Mom had Colon Cancer when I was in high school so they consider me a somewhat higher risk and started me on these at a younger than normal age. While unpleasant I don't consider them that bad. The worst part is the IV if the Nurse is having an off day. I mix the stuff with Gatorade and the flavor is not terrible. I have them schedule me for early in the morning so I don't feel hungry for very long. I've probably had 10 or more of them. I start the prep a little earlier than they say to be sure I'm through before getting to the clinic. I have one scheduled for next week. Fun Fun!!
A funny story: After my Wife had one of her's we went to eat breakfast. After we were seated 8 LE Officers came in and sat down. I guess it was the end of their shift? Its kind of a personal thing with me that if I see someone in uniform eating where I am at I'll discreetly pay for their meal. Like I said, its a personal thing! Anyway I paid for those guy's meal and left. About a mile down the street I got pulled over. I lower the window and when the officer walked up he says " I bet I know what you are thinking". I kind of laugh and he says they put out an APB on me and whoever spots me is to thank me for the kindness. We both got a good laugh from that!

Yep, normal. The green is bile from your gut. Wait till you drink the second bottle if they ordered one. You'll think you were cleaned out from the first one, but, nooo!
What was par for that hole?
Mirror polish?
Go get em! It’ll be over before you know it.
Glad to hear you survived.
The devil is in the details. I’m picturing you scrubbing your ass with dry TP like you’re sanding a fucking oak end table every time you shitted, just so you could pull up your drawers, walk out into the living room, and almost make it to the couch before you shart and have to waddle back to the John. At that point I’m envisioning you repeating as necessary until you’re left with a menstruating anus. I played the long game. I gathered my essentials, sat down one time, and watched a long conspiracy documentary, did my business, cleaned up with a wet one and jumped in the shower. Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Perfomance. No minks were harmed in this colon study.

If your tale were true there would be no way you stood up after the amount of time required.
Your legs from the knees down would be unfeeling flesh and at best you would have stood and fell flat on your face or stood and than through sheer determination held yourself, using the bathroom vanity, for support while blood slowly and somewhat painfully returned to your lower legs restoring feeling.
A friend told me thats the way it works when internetting on the shitter.
I’ve had a couple scopes, don’t remember anything but hearing smooth jazz.....which doesn’t inspire confidence. I considered sneaking in an audio recording device, to see what I babble about when knocked out. Then where would I hide it?! They’re using the back door, so that’s out.
I had no issues. My regimen was 2 doses (bottles). Each like 3-4 hours apart. Learned from my allergy doctor you want the lime tasting one. Then put it them in the freezer for 24 hours (they dont freeze for some reason, glycol maybe?). This he said because the colder they are the less of a taste you get on the back of your throat as it almost freezes. It's like freezing your throat. He drinks them straight from the bottle ( I wasn't that brave so I mixed them with really cold water as directed).
No Issues at all. I took a small folding TV dinner table to the bathroom and my laptop and just watched movies - FOR 6 HOURS COUNTING BOTH DOSES!! Then I took a shower and went to bed. Shower next morning at 6:00am, out of the whole thing by noon that day.
Then I ate the world!
Well survived this again couple small Polyps and don't come back for 5-7 years. That sounds like a pretty good warranty. Like a others have said man up and get it done, but never trust a fart!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember talking to the doctor. Then waking up and some wiggly action happening back there. Ate. Then worked out. But 3 polyps. No tearing or bleeding.
Woke up the last minute or so of my procedure. Asked the doc if it was as good for her as it was for me. Then asked if I could atleast stay for breakfast. Lmao
never heard a person laugh so hard IN my life . Assistants damn near were crying

I got mine over a year ago. Last thing I said before the doc went in was "If you find any drugs, they're not mine." The cute nurse snickered.
Man I love that Propofol. Such an interesting experience to go under with that stuff. Wish it allowed you a minute or ten more to enjoy it.
This is exactly how I had to do mine 2yr ago.. it was that G2 sugar free nasty Gatorade too. I didnt sleep all night doing the damn prep. Had me chug my last one at 3am. Honestly the prep was horrible. The procedure was nothing. Propofol and I was out. Woke up and said are we ready to go, nurse said you're done and can go. No pain, didn't even feel like I was probed. And I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy at the same time. Had it young at 35 found nothing and said now your good for a long time. 55 I think because I had it at 35
I know where you are coming from. I picked up the jug a week ago. Missed the first appointment call. I've gotta call and set up the appointment. I really dread it. My right lower flank was ripped apart. Lost 18 feet of intestine. Tacked up a shit load. I lost half liver and what I have has 5 shrapnel in it. Lost right lower lobe of my lung. 7 ribs half muscle in my back with 100 plus peices of shrapnel in my back and spine plus hip and arm. You get the point. I have had 3 intestinal blockages over 5 years. Scar band tissue from the removal. I told the Doctor my insides had been out on the table and back. After telling him he just got quite. Then said remind him before the procedure. One thing about it. I bet all that makes him work for it.
Could be taking on the whole buffet, but could also be post-polypectomy syndrome - depends on how large your polyps were and how they were taken off. Often electrocautery is used, which causes a thermal burn in the lining of the colon. That in turn creates an ulcer over the next couple days. Low grade temp can also be present. If it continues/worsens or if temp gets over 100 don't hesitate to go to get in touch with Dr (though he/she will say if it's that bad go to ED)
