    Just had mine this week! I was nervous. Looking back, it was wayyyyy easy. Felt NOTHING. I'm so glad I did it. It was a nice experience. If you're getting one, don't worry! You'll feel so comfy falling asleep so fast and you'll wake up feeling great.

      @@Rico401Prov the prep can get to you & the bathroom trips. Get some baby wipes & a vaseline type item for when you wipe. The procedure itself is a breeze & you'll be out during it. I've had 11 over the last 40 years. My dad died of colon cancer at 50, one of his brothers & my cousin 3 years ago. This time I ate minimally for several days before prep day. It made elimination easier. But doctors use different preps. For years it was go-litely. This new doc uses Mylanta & magnesium citrate.

    Congratulations on being cancer free! I'll be prepping tomorrow for Monday. This time for this entire week I pretty much ate a somewhat bland diet. No meat, no veggies, no fruit, no nuts. Had toast & scrambled eggs, or some pasta with a little butter. No seasonings other than a little s&p.
    Hoping it will help ease the elimination 😉

    I ate 1000 more calories than what i usually eat the day before my prep lol i was fine with all that extra food and i think it helped me not to be as hungry during my prep. I didn't mind the prep, but the not eating part that was the worst for me. All in all it, the experience wasn't as bad as i thought it would be.

    I barely ate a few days before, followed all the water. I didnt want jello, broth, i vomitted up 3 sips after second bottle of suprep....very weak and sick. They couldnt really see good, full of stool, however, found a pre cancer polyp. I dont know if i can ever ge thru another. Even had a bout of diahrea the day before the prep. Hopefully, i dont already have some cancer in there😢

      I wasn’t hungry during my prep. I had to take two caps full of Miralax every 2 hours in 12oz of any clear liquid. I highly recommend (if possible) taking it with grape or apple juice. I tried propel for the first dose but ended up feeling very nauseous. The juice really covered up the taste and kept any hunger away. I hope that any future Colonoscopies go well for you!

    • @jesusis1459
      @jesusis1459 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @doodlebug5486 I don't do well with laxatives. Never tried miralax, but can't handle dulcolax and some others. The dr is recommending sutab pills, but you have to take 24 pills in a 24 hr period. I'm not sure my stomach can handle it. I'm very scared of it. I have to redo it, and I am now at a high risk of colorectal cancer😢

      @doodlebug5486 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@jesusis1459 They had me take 2 ex-lax squares in the morning and then at night, it's a chewable laxative that tastes like chocolate. I don't do well with pills either so I choose the chewable option. MiraLax was super easy to get down and it had no taste or smell when added to liquid. I didn't have any major issues when it came to the both of them and I tend to have a sensitive stomach. I'm wishing you the best! Just keep in contact with your doctor and express your concerns, a good doctor will always make sure you're comfortable and hopefully stress free!
