I have a colonscopy booked for tomorrow which is grim enough but my God the drink to clear things out is awful. I am only half way through my first one and I could honestly cry.

Any advice on how to get it down ? Every drink makes me feel I am going to vomit.

Feeling sad for myself .

I thought I should pop back and let you know the good news as you listened to my whinging yesterday.
Procedures went well and all clear which is obviously a huge relief.
And to everyone who said yesterday was the worst part of the whole thing you are exactly right.

Next time make jelly with it. Obviously not strawberry or orange. Lemonade jelly is available or lime, or as others have said, picolax, still bad but not as much. I’ve refused Moviprep for the last few years.

I knew what it would be about when I saw the thread title.
My sympathies OP. I projectile vomited mine back up. It's absolutely revolting. Never again.
Makes you feel freezing cold too so be prepared for that tonight.
Mine was during covid and the following day they made everyone on the list wait outside @ 8am in bloody February in the snow until called in one by one.
Who came up with that idea for people who were suffering bowel disease and had drank several pints of laxative drinks I've no idea.

Oh so glad it went well. I spent 12 hours vomiting on it so glad you didn't!
