I'm having one tomorrow. This isn't going to be a pleasant 48 hours. I'm about to take some medicine in 20 minutes and will spend the day 💩🚽.
Then tomorrow is the procedure.
Awesome

Let's not make light of this situation.
You put your left hand in, you pull your left hand out, you put your left hand in and you shake it all about...

It's no problem. You'll be asleep for about 1/2 hour and you'll never know that the electric eye was looking at you.
2 things every guy needs on a regular basis is that and a prostate exam and PSA blood test. Having had prostate cancer and having it removed the tests are minor compared to what you can face.

It's not the procedure that's the problem. It's the clean out. It's hell. I hope they gave you the new stuff that basically tastes like lemonade, not the gallon of Golightly (however you spell it). I actually added a little Countrytime powered mix to mine to make it taste better.
Chicken broth (without salt) is great to have when you get hungry.

I did get the GaveLite drink. Have to start drinking it in 2 hours. It did come with a lemon packet for flavoring. I'm dreading this though

The Mirolax method isn't too bad. I'll just never drink orange Gatorade ever again... At least for another 4 years. 😛

That drink is awful. Don't remember 15 seconds of the procedure. Sitting in the recovery room afterwards, you're surrounded by people farting. BIG looooong farts. Really funny on gas or whatever they gave me.It's not the procedure that's the problem. It's the clean out. It's hell.

Hope everything turns out ok in the end.

Gavilyte mixed with Countrytime lemonade tastes fine. Trust me - I don't tolerate anything really gross. They tried to make me take the Golytely stuff years ago but I couldn't do it. The consistency was just very wrong!
I can generally drink Magnesium Citrate ok, but with the new stuff you don't have to drink that anymore.
I've never heard of anyone prescribing Miralax for a clean out. Back in the late 90's I ended up in the ER with problems. They specifically told me to avoid Miralax if I was stopped up. They said it would just cause really painful gas without making things move.

OK, so here are my tips for cleaning out. Assuming you have room in your bathroom, put a temperpedic pad down on the floor with a pillow & blanket. (This is for the times you can actually get off the toilet but can't make it out of the bathroom.)
Things you will want with you: iPhone, extension cord with iPhone & iPad plug, iPad with Netflix (if you have these things), the liquids you must drink with the cup to measure them, anti-nausea medication, ice pack (put it on the back of your neck if you are nauseous), some kind of cream like A&D cream (you can find this with baby diaper rash stuff - use it sooner rather than later), any other required medications, Charman toilet paper (it's the softest), flushable wipes, & a chair. A small table would work instead of the chair - basically something to set the iPad on so you can watch tv for a distraction. It needs to be something that you can move out of the way easily for when you get on & off the toilet.

I will say that a colonoscopy is a million times better than a lower GI. Avoid a lower GI like the plague!
-
Ehh... None of it's bad. Go in with the thought of terror. Don't leave your bathroom during the prep. There isn't enough warning when you think you're going to unload and when you actually do. When the shit coming out of u is clear, you are golden!
The morning of your big C won't be as bad. Ask for Versed. Concentrate on numbers and counting. They try and make you say embarrassing things. Keep your wife out of the room so she doesn't learn more of your TW addiction or worse things.
Afterwards, enjoy the pics they show you of a perfectly clean bowel. Your bowel, which by the way, will be full of shit again in a few days.
-
Oh, I forgot, get several pillows or blankets & pillows you can pile on the chair for a place to rest your head. This is especially helpful in case you fall asleep or pass out. (Yes, I've done both, although not from just a clean out.) It also helps to have a wash rag handy in case you sweat a lot.
@Dr Grunge, it takes some of us the entire night & next morning before things get clear. My intestines are slow - the last upper GI I had took 9 hours! Ugh.
-
This all sounds very..... Horrible. Yay. Something to not look forward to within the next few years or so.

Here the Miralax method. I was even told it's pretty new a couple years ago.

Well the drink is finished. I expected it to be worse than it was. Not pleasant by any means, but I feared for worse. I did manage to sleep in bed last night, only waking up 3-4 times to do the business. Feels like the hard stuff is over with now. Now I get drugged and a nap in a few hours.

He'll be fine. Just about an half hour or so of the longest farts you've ever had.

Batel here. (TW wife) I have loved loved loved Reading all the comments here. You mobster and mobsterettes are the BEST!
We are in the waiting room before the big C and the worst thing that has happened so far is TW watching me eat my delicious lunch. He was like a puppy dog begging with his eyes. Poor guy hasn't had normal food for over 24 hrs.
We're wondering how he will feel afterwards. He's so tall I hope he doesn't wobble and crush me be he's feeling loopy.
