i don't know what I was thinking coming into work today, sigh. this is the first time I've ever worked on a prep day, but since it's a new job and I have no time off it was unavoidable. I just can't wait to get home and start drinking my lovely prep. devil

Surely the daytime should be okay though? Apart from being hungry from lack of food. Anyway, good luck with the delicous, dishwater-flavoured, prep.

Hope your scope goes well!

Just so everyone knows, there is a new pill out. You don't have to drink the prep. It's the same time period except you swallow pills with water and not that yucky stuff that makes some of us (me) puke. Best of all, it cleaned me out better than the liquid prep.

I know it's too late for lamb, but for the rest...ask your doctors about it. It's a prescription.

@health2, do you know the name of it?!

Yes, what is the name of that prep? I did my usual miralax with excellent results according to the report.

He also said there is no evidence of active disease. Yippie entyvio is working for now.

The name is osmoprep. I was looking for the instructions my doctor gave me but I can't find it. I just read that some people did not have a good experience but I think it's all whether or not you're good at swallowing pills. I can swallow down a handful of pills without a problem so this was easy peasy for me. Plus I have a great support system . . . my mom and sister spent the night with me and we made it a sleep over to take the edge off since I never know if I'll spend the night vomiting.

When I get the instructions, I'll post it because the fasting was with liquids I didn't usually take including coconut water - not gatorade (which also makes me ill because it reminds me of lytely prep).

I wish none of us needed colonoscopies, but am glad that at least there's a way to see what can't be seen otherwise.

I did not get notified that anyone posted a question to me even though I check the 'Notify me' checkbox. Can anyone assist with that?

Best to everyone!!! And congratulations on the good results Lamb :)
