220-9erI've got #4 in my near future.
The first prep was unpleasant but not that big of a deal. The next ones were no big deal and I had a great breakfast afterwards.

Miralax is good stuff. Very little taste mixed with water, and the cleanout is excellent. My Dr. writes a scrip for a big bottle of Miralax for the procedure. $8 copay sure beats the prices for the OTC sizes.

a1abdjI've never used the Miralax, but what I used previously was essentially a gallon jug that you fill with water. You're then supposed to drink the entire jug. Each drink containing the medicine, and although not the end of the world, not that pleasant tasting.
The Suprep is two small bottles of medicine. Drink the first with 16 oz of water, then a couple of plain 16 oz cups of water within the following few hours. Later you drink another 16 oz mixed with medicine, and then a few plain cups.
I found that not only was the taste better, but you only had to drink two cups of it, with the rest being plain water.

Johnny 3eaglesSo, did your Doctor find the perfect asshole?

Did you ever wonder what kind of person wants to spend their career looking in people's colons?

smschulzYeah, I'm due for one too.
The night before meds are awful but the during/after drugs are wonderful.
FWIW, those cartoons posted are hilarious.

goose5Prep is the worst part. Procedure is the best nap you'll ever have. My last one I was on the table and they asked me to turn onto my side. My calf cramped and I bolted up in pain and they were trying to lay me back down. Cramp, cramp I said. They must of thought I was having a heart attack or something.

lastmanstandingHad my first a couple months ago. Everything looked good. Don't remember a thing until they woke me up. The prep sucks. I remember drinking half the prep stuff and telling the wife I don't think this stuff works! Ten minutes later it was ass piss unchecked!
They gave me a couple pages of color still shots from the cameras journey. First couple pics were of my hemorrhoids. I uploaded those to my phone and sent them to all my smart ass buddies!

sigcrazy7My prep experience was like lastmanstanding's. I told my wife that this stuff doesn't work, five minutes later it was epic. I had that one where you mix water with some stuff to make up a gallon of the stuff. Tastes nasty, salty. Biting a lemon wedge immediately after drinking a cup sure made it more pleasant.
While prepping, wear sweats, but don't tie the string. There's no margin for delay.
