Security has left the building.

At the behest of a fellow forum member I shall share this advice:
The saying “Never Trust a Fart” holds infinite value after starting a colonoscopy prep, no matter how soon you start.

The prep is, by far, the worst part

Took me a second to get it, which was longer than I had before disaster struck

It wasn’t bad the first time I had one, but this time was….different
I got less than an hour of sleep and only did half of the last part.

A couple times


In fact I would consider it vomiting out of both ends


I think, going forward, I'm just going to take my chances with this whole colon cancer thing.

Your stomach lining is probably in shambles man

Good God man!!!
You aren’t supposed to mix the prep with alcohol

There’s always the box thing. My brother does that now.

I would advise looking into it carefully (the option. Not the box).

Most insurance companies will pay for ONE diagnostic procedure. If the box procedure shows a positive (and that option has both false positives and negatives), you will then need to schedule a colonoscopy. Because the box counted as your ‘one procedure’ the colonoscopy now isn’t covered.

Were all going to die sometime.

Try a thrre day fast. They're supposed to work wonders for lots of stuff.

I start one tomorrow

The box thing is good if you are at normal risk. Anyone with a family history of colon cancer should probably do the unpleasant thing.

That’s why I went the Roto Rooter Route.

Which prep did you do?

Of the various options, I tend to recommend the MiraLAX + Gatorade/Powerade prep. Provides good results, and aside from pissing from the wrong orifice, really doesn’t feel/taste any different from chugging two bottles of Gatorade (the MiraLAX has no flavor, and doesn’t affect the taste of the Gatorade).

GoLytely is the one I recommend avoiding. That stuff is just nasty. It’s supposed to be lemon flavored (or they might have a lemon flavored option), but it literally tastes like you’re being forced to drink a gallon of someone’s sweat. It’s slightly salty, and slightly greasy.

I don't remember what it was. It was something like two little jugs filled with what could only be described as greasy salty water so probably what you're describing.

Since you're required to fast, Jo got me some green Jello that you're allowed to eat.

But it seemed dumb to me to let it set up to eat it when you could just drink it and get it done with

And, being a bright green lime flavor Jello drink, it was begging for some tequila.

I think this might be where I went wrong

BUY IT!!!!

I was just about ready to cave in but thankfully it sold before I could buy it. LOL!

Rising incidence of colon cancer is crazy. I'm a nurse at a cancer center, colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed and the number of patients in their 40s or even 30s seems to be growing every year.

Shitty as it is, I'm planning to start screening at 35
