That’s how mine was as well, but my wife was there the entire time. But they won’t let you leave unless you have someone with you.
Depends. My doctor doesn't use air anymore. I think it was CO2.... Little bloating and barely any gas after
I tried both lime jello and chicken broth. Can’t even look at chicken broth now. Next time will either be just jello or power through with water, sprite, and ginger ale.
Same here
Oh that’s good to know, since I’ll be going straight from the hospital to a courtroom in Manh—I’ve said too much
My prep was similar, but I took the whole 14 dose miralax at once. No getting up in the middle of the night was great.
Tomorrow is my prep day. My instructions are to take my Dulcolax between 3-6 and then the Miralax with Gatorade a couple hours later and then I'm done. Do I understand you correctly that you had to wake up in the middle of the night for an additional dose?
Yeah, in a nutshell, 4pm for 2 tablets, 6pm for ~24oz gatorade and 7 capfulls of miralax, and then 6 hours before the procedure time another 24oz /7 doses. So if the procedure was at 3pm I could have slept through the night since the second mix would be 9am. But I don't sleep through the night anyway and I would rather get it over with early. I didn't "have" to wake up at 430 but I wanted to so I could drink some water and make sure I got anything out that needed to go. Seemed like the "results" from the second dose was mostly what went in with the second dose. Gatorade in, gatorade out.
Depending on which # I use from yesterday I only lost 2-3 lbs.

Let me check if my insurance covers that. At $4500 per, I don't need to lose weight that badly. This is more of a vanity goal.Just sign up to get a colonoscopy every day for a week and you'll be goldenI was really hoping I'd finally hit that 190lbs goal I've had for the past 5 yearsDepending on which # I use from yesterday I only lost 2-3 lbs.
I was trying to get below 200 before the procedure. MADE IT!I was really hoping I'd finally hit that 190lbs goal I've had for the past 5 yearsDepending on which # I use from yesterday I only lost 2-3 lbs.
That was my goal but only hit 203. I hit a high of 224 a couple if years ago and have been slowly losing. I hope to get to 199 by my 60th in a couple if months although I actually like where I'm at @205.I was trying to get below 200 before the procedure.

I would take the dulcolax right at 3. Mine started working after an hour. Then start the Miralax around 5. I did 2pm and 5pm and had the miralax done by 7pm. I was done in the restroom by 11pm. I drank the miralax to fast and ended up really full and nauseous, but being done by 11pm was great.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Get ‘er done ASAP so I can be sure the pipes are clean by the time I go to bed
Probably why they have you cut the 14 doses into 2 sets of 7. I drank the 24oz/7dose at 6pm and was done with it in about 10 minutes and no issues. 2nd set at 0200 was about the same. Got it done, back to sleep and up at 0430 for my last "allowed" bit of water and pipe clearing, then back to sleep again.
I dropped 9, but did the liquid diet prep for 2 days on Saturday and Sunday. SUPREP.
I just drank it to fast. There was no time limit on when I had to be done. In ten years I will take an extra hour or two to drink it.
Yeah, no time limit really in my instructions for the 1st set, but there is on the 2nd set but it's 2 hours so that's plenty of time. I just got it down as quickly as possible to get it doing it's magic.
Seriously, you guys have been great. Meanwhile, I was talking to my brother yesterday and I guess I triggered him, because he starts telling me how awful the whole prep process was for him, and how miserable he felt all day, and I was like, "Dude!"
Back to the weight loss regimen today though.
Funny enough, your poop will look like that soon too.
No doubt. No way I would want to do 60+ oz of that and 14 doses of lax in one sitting. Seems a bit crazy to me, I'd rather divide in 2 like my instructions said.
Well, define "sitting".
I did about 24oz of Gatorade with the 7 doses of miralax and polished that off with 20 minutes both times.
Nurse at the hospital told me the reason you're not allowed to have any red or purple liquids is because it will show up in your poop and look like blood. I wasn't totally clear on whether she meant that might potentially mask any problems if there actually was blood, or just because it would freak people out.
