    Wow, you are getting off pretty easy for a colonoscopy if you get jello and popsickles. Everyone I know only got some type of clear liquid with a LOT more than a couple of doses of gut flush medicine.

    **it's weird how many people respond to subject lines only and never read the OP.

    If you're going to do it, do it right with juicing. All fruits and veggies. Flush your body and at the same time provide it the various nutrients your body needs. FRUITS AND VEGGIES, JUICE THEM.

    This is AMAZING.

    Pat, don't wipe. Moist flushable wipes are your friend.

    I just had to do a day of clear liquid diet followed by a bowel prep as I had a part of my colon removed Friday.

    Preponix? Something like that. Supposed to be an easier flusher from what I've read. So sorry about losing part of your colon. Hope you are recovering well.

    Haven't used that one, so not sure how it is. Taste and viscosity is a huge factor, because MoviPrep is foul beyond words. And I'm doing well, the surgery was to prevent complications from diverticulitis.

    Good luck with your scope. My GI said the meds they push are like a six pack and two martinis. :laugh: After my scope I went to Whole Foods and had a light lunch with no issues. :)

    Good luck

    I'm loving the use of the phrase "sensitive area" over *kitten* ... Dunno why but that tickles me :grinning:

    Yes on the patting your bum. Don't trust any farts.

    Also, I remember everyone farting in the recovery room. It was awesome.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the laugh! And I will probably laugh every time I feel a fart coming on for the rest of my life! That is too funny...cause it will be true!!

    You want this.

    Often used after childbirth, but I've also used them a couple times during severe bouts of GI distress and it's a lifesaver. Rinse with the bottle, pat dry, apply cream. (Between the butt cream and the cleansing bottles, having kids was the best preparation for food poisoning I could think of, haha.)

    Side note: Though, OP, you don't have time to order them from Amazon, this line in the description gave me a giggle: "These eight-ounce perineal cleansing bottles are perfect for cleaning surfaces after children have been enjoying messy art projects, or for cleaning yourself." If children are doing art projects on your perineum...you're doing it very, very wrong.

    We need to make words up. A nus. Annus. Anuss. Or just say *kitten*. :wink:

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I will third or fourth the recommendation for wipes, butt cream, and vaseline (I used that on the wipes). I also didn't feel extra hungry afterwards, and was oddly not hungry at all the day of all liquids.

    Don't be embarrassed by post-procedure farts, everyone does it.

    Congratulations for getting one done! It's not normally something people are in a rush to get.

    You see I could easily call someone a *kitten* ...but an anu$? It just doesn't have the satisfactory insult quotient does it?

    Jello and Popsicles I could do. If they made me do Gatorade and apple juice then I'd probably strangle someone.






    Poop.

    8.3 oz bottle of Miralax mixed into 64oz of Gatorade. Let's just say I'm not drinking Gatorade for awhile.

    It's not poop. You're peeing out your butt. No way around that.

    My brother had cancerous polyps removed at age 50, so I became eligible early (age 44) to get one. I don't understand why anyone would want to wait....why risk being able to cure it by waiting?
