The day before you get the tube shoved up your wahoo is the worst..Keep a book handy in the bathroom…and man, I’m never gonna drink lime Gatorade ever again…..
The secret is to start a liquid diet about three days before the “cleanse.” It won’t keep you off the porcelain pony, but it will make it more tolerable.
Three years ago I had occasion to tell my primary care provider’s wife that my 50th birthday had been the occasion for some correspondence between her husband and a gastroenterologist. A doctor herself, she said that was a great way to celebrate. Another of the docs I work for often told the residents that he estimated he had saved more lives by ordering screening colonoscopies than by anything else he had done.
My brother-in-law put it off due to lack of insurance. By now he’s had five major surgeries and has a 50-50 chance of surviving. Don’t put it off.Anyhow, they say adding Crystal Lite makes it more palatable, and my trips to the loo never took more ghan seconds.

There’s no dignity left once you’ve drunk the foul-tasting stuff.

If and when I ever have to do that again, I will be prepared. I have all kinds of gadgets to keep me occupied while I’m occupied.

that industrial strength lemon/lime drain cleaner the day before
I know how you feel I have to make an appointment for another colonoscopy. I agree it is that vile drink before the test.

Don’t worry, Oldbot, it’ll all work out in the end . . . and you’ll think it’s a gas after it’s over . . . ☻
