The colonoscopy is over!

9. I found two things that made the prep easier

One follow the low fiber diet here: https://wa.kaiserpermanente.org/html/public/specialties/gastroenterology/colon-diet

Follow the clear diet the day before. To make the prep stuff less disgusting, I made flavored ice cubes from a lemon-lime mix intended to add to bottled water. I put half the water they recommended in with the prescribed mix (two quarts instead of an entire gallon). Chill the mix well.

Put 1 cup of the mix and a cup of flavored and plain ice cubes into a blender and blend it like a smoothie. Drink with a straw to get it to the back of your mouth. It froze my taste buds and I pretty much didn't taste most of it. I did drink lots of chilled water with it since you really need water to keep hydrated and not screw up your electrolytes.

Ask about a split prep - half the afternoon before and half early the morning of. I certainly got more sleep that way.

Good Luck!
