Why is it the best? What makes it better than the Dulcolax, Mirilax and Gatorade prep. I've had the latter, and it was not the horror show everyone seems to describe...Heck, you even pick the flavor of your choice. ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

I've had 3, last year was a 3 year f/u. I'm on a 10 year plan now. Last two times I've made short ribs and pot roast a week or two ahead of time and save the stock for the day or 2 before. I hadn't had lettuce or spinach etc. for many weeks before. The butter/fat doesn't make it that far but it satiates. Being able to fast helps also. | |||

They gave me Suprep pills for mine. No drinking nasty sludge. Beef broth got me through. | |||

Having had 3 of the “Roto-Rooter Borescopings”, first thing—drink the prep stuff but stay close to the bathroom, as once it kicks in, you’ll be in there for a couple or three hours “cleansing”. Do NOT drink anything reddish in color (cranberry juice, cherry Coke, etc.) as that’ll scare the folks on the TV watching end into thinking they nicked something. You've got a choice on meds; localized relaxation, or total snooze out. Either way, someone else needs to be with you for the drive home. Afterwards, get your favorite meal. --------------------- DJT-45/47 MAGA !!!!!

Once I start the prep I won’t be doing any eating, either. | |||

Hah! So SHE says! Seriously, though, bone broth. I really didn’t have any trouble following the prescribed diet. And stuck close to the restroom. Easy peasy. Best of luck! __________________________ "Trust, but verify." | |||

My last one I was on the table. They asked me to turn over to my left side. I planted one foot and started to lift when a hard cramp hit my leg. I shot upright to grab it, and the nurses took me by the shoulders and started to press me back down. I guess they thought I was trying to escape. I said, "Cramp, cramp!" They let me up and off the table. Putting weight on it gets it to release. Got back up. They hit me with the juice, and I woke up in the recovery room. _________________________ OH, Bonnie McMurray! | |||

Because you drink 1 small bottle and 2 large cups of water at night, and drink 1 small bottle and 2 large cups of water early in the morning. Same result, less drinking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

The Suprep I had was two bottles of 12 pills each. One pill with 16oz of water every 2-3 minutes, as directed by my MD. That’s 1.5 gallons in 24-36 minutes. Then, a few hours of misery later, do it again. 10 pills and 160oz of water into the second series, I puked. I think the other Suprep mentioned here sounds better. | |||

I think all the preps just suck equally. I did the same one as you did with the pills and water. It sucked and I barely made it without puking. I actually thought about just getting in the shower and let it rip out of both ends. But it didn’t come to that. My buddies that did the other prep had similar stories and thought the pill version sounded much better. I think it is a case of the “grass is greener“ kind of situation. Forcing yourself to have your body try and turn itself inside out is bad either way you do it. But to get the ease of mind that you’re OK in the colon department is worth it. My sister had colon cancer in her mid 40’s. Now 10 years cancer free. I was told to go get one, but it took me those 10 years to do it. I hated the thought of the whole process, so always made excuses. Finally I got myself to man up and get it done. The worst part of it besides the prep, was me thinking I would wake up in the hospital gutted like a fish because they found something. Luckily I was good, with only 1 decent size polyp. They took it out and all is good. Kinda pissed at myself for not getting it done earlier. A big weight was lifted off my mind once it was done. Next one won’t be a big deal since the fear and mystery has been taken out of the process. It's all about clean living. Just do the right thing, and karma will help with the rest. | |||

^^^^^^^^^ That is not necessary and I have never heard of a GI doc that suggests this prep. | |||

It just a suggestion from someone who has had a few Boroscopes.. stop eating meat and going on a weeks worth on soft food helps your digestion and when one has to drink that horrible brew!
