As per the title suggest having a colonoscopy tomorrow and I’ve just started the prep!!

I am in for a long long night...quite probably glued to my toilet!!

Anyone fancy cheering me up?? Or a bit of sympathy

Well it’s 3am I’ve just had my second prep and then promptly threw it up....I’m hoping enough of it has worked and I’m ok for tomorrow cause no way am I going to be doing this again !!

Nightmare! Hope you manage a sleep before your procedure tomorrow. And your mornings' toileting isn't too dramatic! GrinBrew

Oh dear! It really is horrible stuff. I had a liquid, not a sachet, which was euphemistically called ‘ginger and lemon’ on the box. What a crock!! “Battery acid and seawater” would have been more accurate!! It was all I could do to keep it down and I felt tearful facing the second dose (not because of the efficacy - that was quite amusing in its efficiency) but because of the ghastly taste!! They told me at the hospital that I could have had some squash in the water to help a bit - thanks for that late bit of advice!! Anyway good luck OP!
