Get yourself some flowers for the bathroom since you'll be spending more time than usual in there.

LOL at the hotel suggestion.

I just did SuPrep (liquid) with Sprite. Tasted nasty but wasn't that much volume and did the job. You don't really need to buy anything b/c you can't eat anything lol. It sounds from what I've heard that the tabs are easier going down but can induce some awful nausea - two people told me that. I think for that reason I'd just stay with the Suprep liquid.

Colonoscopy was a breeze, plan to be able to nap after it - I was extra tired, but totally back in action the next day.

Don't over think things.

If you have kids, just check yourself into a hotel by the hospital the day before.

OP here. I admit I didn’t use the search feature for previous discussions on this. I will now.

Ask your doctor for the pills.

Is your doctor suggesting all the meds be OTC? I had a very easy process with the Rx called ClenPiq. No need for "extra vaseline" as you referred to up thread.

I mixed with coconut water instead of Gatorade. Lower calorie and tastes better

Again? Do people not use the search tab to find the previous threads on the same topic?

Ask your Dr for SuTab and Zofran.

Good luck!

I have a colonoscopy scheduled for end of March. GI doc suggested Gatorade and MiraLAX because the volume to drink is more BUT the MiraLAX is tasteless and I can prep ahead and make the drinks cold.

Taking all suggestions to make this as easy as possible. I get migraines and hypoglycemia and any tips or tricks or weird suggestions - please share! I did read to get some Vaseline in case my rear is sore lol.
