[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just drank most of my first dose of Supra prep. OMG it is awful.  Downright nauseating.  It gave me a headache.  Holy um cow this is bad.  I don't think I can drink it.  And I'm not normally squeamish.[/quote]
Call your doc to get feedback. Read these colonoscopy threads for advice (drink slower, while standing/walkling, with a straw, suck on a yellow/green lifesaver, add crystal light, etc etc ). But I would do whatever you have to do in order to have a successful colonoscopy tomorrow. You do not want to be put at the end of the line for a rescheduled procedure. Who knows if covid cases will push off these procedures again. [/quote]Agree with all of this. Also try making sure it's *really* cold.[/quote]

I had the same experience PP. Suprep is truly the worst thing I’ve ever ingested in my life. I basically never vomit and I ended up throwing all of it up 10 min after working so hard to get the first dose down. I cannot understand how anyone can drink it on an empty stomach without vomiting. I think part of my problem is that my doc had me drink a bottle of mag citrate before the Suprep, as I tend toward constipation. That made me queasy before even starting on the Suprep.

I was stressed out about the prep not working after I vomited the suprep so I called the nurse line and they said I could switch to Gatorade and Miralax. A whole freaking bottle of Miralax dumped into a pitcher of Gatorade LOL. Not fun but sooo much better than Suprep, and it worked. [/quote]
