TrentonMakes Posted July 5, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 5, 2018 I just had my first too, last week. Same as you, I was a little surprised that I didn't feel hungrier. None of the prep was as bad as the horror stories I read. I thought the prescription tasted not unpleasant, a lot like Robitussin - I practically guzzled the stuff. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took three Ducolax 2 hours ago, they did nothing. Now I had to mix a whole bottle of Miralax with 64 oz of Gatorade. I dink half (just started) for the next two hours, then the other half between 10 and midnight. I weighed myself this morning. I hope I remember to weigh myself tomorrow morning. I went for a short run this morning, it was really hot. I suspect I lost a pound just during the run. I was a little over 183 this morning, tomorrow I plan to be in the 170's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed - when I was 100% cleaned out I'd only lost 4 or 5 pounds. And by now it's all come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrapr Posted July 5, 2018 Share #13 Posted July 5, 2018 pls update from library and good luck. I was semi awake during the inbound.

jsharr Posted July 5, 2018 Share #15 Posted July 5, 2018 I will always remember a story by dad told me. He made the mistake of asking the doc why they had to do all this cleansing stuff before he went in to have some polyps removed. The doctor explained to my dad that hitting a gas pocket with a laser inside your body is not a good thing to do. Dad told me he had a dream / nightmare that night where he was awoken mid operation by a explosion and he looked up to see the doc with all his facial hair burned off and his (my dad's) asshole stuck to the operating room wall behind the doc. My dad does not work blue very often so it was a bit shocking to hear this revelation from him. I will never forget it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by now it's all come back. I'll take (or leave) 4 or 5 pounds. I'll try and keep 1 or 2 of them off. It took me many years to get overweight, I am trying to get to a healthy weight by changing how and what I eat, not by dieting. At the beginning of the year I weighed 199. This morning I weighed 183. Not where I want to be, but it's clearly the right direction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 5, 2018 Share #18 Posted July 5, 2018 Years ago, I knew a guy whose last name was "Colon". He grew up in a relatively wealthy and influential family in a nearby city. As such, he was probably spared the intense kidding and bullying that his name would have no doubt engendered for most other ordinary people. Still, a lifetime of telling people your name is "Colon" has got to suck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share #19 Posted July 5, 2018 OK, so I don't care for Gatorade, but I just finished the fist mixture. 3 Ducolax 3 hours ago. Half a container of Miralax. So far nuthin. This better work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn Posted July 6, 2018 Share #26 Posted July 6, 2018 My doctor prescribed a prep that the pharmacy said my insurance would require a $40 copay. They said they had three other options with 0 copay. I paid the $40. Everything went smooth. I was pooping clear water in no time. This year my doctor prescribed the new “poop in a box” test since I have never had any issues in my previous colonoscopies. That was weird but easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
