I have a colonoscopy tomorrow and with my last doctor I just did miralax and Gatorade prep. Now I'm doing the moviprep. This stuff is DISGUSTING!!!! The first liter I tried so hard not to throw up and I just started the second liter and on cup number two despite all my will power actually did throw it up. So now I have it coming out of both ends... Yay!
How does anyone drink this?!?!

That is the worst! All the preps make me throw up (except prepopnik). Do you have a lot of prep left? Just take your time and try to take sips of ginger ale in between.

I have about one and a half 8 ounce cups left of my last liter. I'm going really slow but at the same time I just wanna get it over with! I'm gonna ask for the one you said doesn't remake you throw up next time I get a colonoscopy.
Thanks!

Hey me too flgirl10, I have my colonoscopy tomorrow as well...I did the movie-prep last time (months ago) and I agree, it is horrible, I could only finish the first glass of it, the second glass I could only do about 1/4 of it...

My GI office gave me the choice between pico salax and movie-prep, they had movie-prep on hand when I was there booking my appointment for my scope months ago, so I took it cuz it was free (nothing worse than paying for prep kits lol) but this time around they called me to book my appointment and I told them I wanted to try the pico salax this time so I got it from the pharmacy (worst 20 bucks I ever spent lol)....

If you think the movie prep is bad you should have seen how awful the phospho soda was that I did years ago for my preps. Movie prep is about half as bad as phospho soda, that stuff was killler...

I highly recommend trying the pico salax along with 4 dulcolax tabs that my GI office offered to me. The dulcolax helps break things up inside (I was instructed to do 2 pills on Saturday night at 8 then again Sunday night and started drinking my pico salax today at noon and the second packet at 7:30.

The pico salax is more like a sour candy flavor, had no issues drinking it at all even though it was still kinda merky from mixing it with water and stirring it for quite a few minutes, but the taste was fine, I got orange, you can get cranberry flavor as well.

last time I had golytely and it was the worst. I wonder if yours is as bad as what I had. Mine was gallons of salty water with bad flavor. uh, the thought makes me ill. The best prep I had was the pill prep. It wasn't easy but at least it didn't taste awful. I feel bad for anyone prepping. it's awful. next time I am going to ask for whatever requires the lowest volume of liquid or pill.

I had that on my last prep.....just dreadful! But I found a little trick to these nasty preps. I eat very light for a few days before my scope. So I don't have to consume the full amount of the prep. I go clear halfway thru and so far this has worked.

But as a side note.....Suprep is even WORSE then Movi!
