I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy and I'm nervous about drinking the prep,any suggestions.?

Don't wander far from the toilet. More of a command, because you will be going there many times until you get emptied out. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't enjoyable either. I didn't find drinking the stuff to be all that awful. tolerable at best is how I would describe it. Just drink it and be done with it.

I know it sucks. But you have to drink the prep. The colon has to be completely cleared out in order for the procedure to be done effectively. I would drink with a straw. It is easier to sip and harder to smell. I would also sit close to a toilet as you need to use that and stay far away from the kitchen. Smelling others food makes it even harder to actually prep.

Yes. Drink the prep and be close to a toilet.

If it's magnesium citrate, chill it first, that minimizes the taste. A straw helps also.

But it's not as bad as some of the preps.

Sucks but just do it. Many have and are fine. Best of luck

Just follow the instructions and drink it. It doesn't taste bad, it just isn't a refreshing glass of guava juice. I can tell you what always helps me: "It doesn't hurt!" After it is all over you will be mad at yourself for worrying.

Just think how good breakfast will be the next day, after the "scope is done.;

You need to be very near the toilet as the poo comes without warning.
