Colonoscopy tomorrow.
Just started drinking my Colyte at 1600hrs. One cup every ten minutes.

Rule#1: No. That is not a fart.

Rule#2: (For the dog) You'd best concentrate on your fucking dog food dish. There ain't gonna be no gourmet experiences today. Sorry!

Look on the bright side. Soon you'll be able to swallow a white beach towel and pull it out the other end clean & dry.

Had one in May 2016. As the Doc was opening the lower colon, part of the colon ripped laterally. The next Doc removed 4 inches of colon. That was a nice 5 day hospital stay.

I feel your pain! Im overdue for mine. And since my mom passed away from several conditions, including colon cancer, the doctors have me on an aggressive timeline just to make sure. Oh yeah Im 57 now and just got my first prostate exam this year. WOW.

I did mine last November, and it's the 4th prep I've done (2 colonoscopy's, 2 surgeries).

It was the gentlest prep yet, but it was the longest prep yet. Took my first drug at dinner two days before, and I was crapping up until 90 minutes before the colonscopy. I wouldn't want to do that long of prep again.

My 2013 prep before surgery was much better. Started at 6 PM the day before, and was orders of magnitude less violent than my 90s colonoscopy prep.

I've had four so far.
The prep is worse than the procedure.
You will be just fine.

Eat a couple of Taco Bell tacos, and a burrito, that will clean you out faster, and more complete than anything else.
