Halflytely Advice?

I've used the GoLytely prep...I think it's similar to HalfLytely, but more liquid. My doctor let me split the dose b/w night before and morning of prep and it really wasn't that hard for me to get the liquid down...just annoying going to the bathroom so much. One of the suggestions that someone here gave me was to drink it through a straw so you can't taste it very much. I didn't mix mine with any flavoring...I tried, but it tasted better plain, IMO. Also, you may want to get some soft toilet paper and A&D ointment. My butt got pretty sore and these helped a bit.

Good luck with your prep and c-scope! I'm sure others will chime in with prep suggestions.

ugh, i am having a REALLY hard time. it's making me so nauseous. i'm not really good at drinking fast so i end up tasting it too much. i'm practically gagging. i think i've only had about 1/2 and i don't think i can finish it. it's definitely working though - have already gone several times. i wonder if i stop now if it will mess up my colonoscopy? i just can't take one more sip without vomiting

I've had to take halflitely 3x this year and I think I'm aan old hand. First, if your halflitely isn't very cold add lots of ice. It makes it easier to go down when cold. i pooped most of th night, so I suggest a pillow to rest your head, aloe toilet paper, a magazine or a TV nearby and, of course, A&D ointment or my preference, Bag Balm to ease your sore back end.

Good luck tomorrow.
