PP are you saying there’s an alternative to superprep? If that’s the case, why don’t more people do it?

Suprep was, by far, the worst part of the prep for me. My doctor had me drink a bottle of magnesium citrate (I think that's what it's called?) before Suprep because he was worried I wouldn't be cleaned out enough due to my history of constipation. The magnesium drink made me queasy on an empty stomach, and then I had to start on the Suprep. I worked SO hard to choke it down and ended up throwing it all up 10 min later. My body literally rejected it. I called the nurse line all stressed out that I was going to have to reschedule after going through the 2 days of clear liquids only. Thankfully I still had time to switch to the Miralax/Gatorade prep which was a lot more liquid to get down but SO much easier for me because it didn't taste awful. Now I now for next time!

I really can't believe anyone can drink Suprep. I am not at all prone to vomiting (threw up one time over 2 pregnancies, never get stomach bugs, etc.) but that stuff did me in. It is appalling to me that a company can make something that people are supposed to ingest that tastes so bad. It was like a combo of the worst cheap vodka, the 3 hour glucose drink, and Nyquil with a briny taste thrown in for fun. Never again.

I had mine last week and it was fine - good luck on yours!

Nope. I was a little out of it waking up, but there was no pain.

I have never heard that, and granted, I have only had it done once, but the only soreness was wiping so much from the prep, not the procedure itself.

Jalapeño poppers as a last meal was a super bad idea.

How is this healthy

Oh my god

Does everyone get sore bum? I haven't heard this mentioned.

Had my first one a couple of months ago. All other posts accurate! For me, there wasn't even a feeling of coming out of sedation. I swear my eyes snapped open and voila - bag of Cheezits in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. You got this!

It is the best nap you have ever taken and will take your mind of your super sore butthole.

You got the OP.

The rest is just a short nap under sedation.

Good luck, OP!

My DH just did his last week. This description is accurate. Good job taking care of your health, OP!

You'll do fine. Prep is the most difficult part, but you've figured that out by now.

Good luck, OP!

First colonoscopy tomorrow. Wish me luck!
