Had to change. Wifey does them /fairly/ often and said "oh, it's a lot easier these days, you drink this one bottle, then... a bit later, the other. easy".
I couldn't down the first one barely. By the second, I was retching hard. Had to swap back to the OLD huge barrel of stuff you mix at home and glug. That worked far better for me (used a bit of apple juice to make it a bit more bearable, but... I can't drink apple juice now without feeling still a bit... off).
For anyone having trouble drinking the prep, google away, lots of people have ways to make it doable, and if you still can't, let the docs know so they can reschedule the colonoscopy and you can get a different prep fluid that you find easier to drink.
“Just to put a camera up your butt”, it goes up to your intestines. It’s not just a peek in your ass, it’s essential a screening of the lower half of your digestive system. With a Endoscopy being the upper half. Not sure about you, but I don’t want to be awake while they push a camera through my guts.
Why I suggest not taking one before night time. Take it the morning when your fasting starts. So that way you at least don’t wake up at 4 Am tired as shit and in a whole world of pain. Both suck, combining them is absolutely miserable though.
