I’m having the procedure done in two days. I have been really nervous about it until I got to the part where you said “Blam! I was out!” That made me feel better! I may be considered clinically to be “lightly sedated” but if my experience is unconsciousness, I’m cool with it!

It’s 3:45am and I just finished the last 8oz. of the Trilyte…. Suggestion, mix it at room temperature with bottled water (about 8 – 16.9oz. bottles fills up the jug, so shake it well at half full. Put in rest and shake). Don’t throw away the empty water bottles. Get some Crystal Lite (lemon flavor only – doesn’t matter if it is sugar-free or not) in the little pour in the bottle packets and do just that. Pour one Crystal Lite packet into each empty bottle. Pour the Trilyte formula into each bottle and shake then cap it. Chill them for at least 5 hours. This makes them MUCH easier to handle taste-wise. Drink half of a bottle every 15 minutes until you are through 5 of the bottles. Save the other 3 for your early morning prep. Make sure to drink plenty of clear liquids in-between 8oz doses. One, it keeps you hydrated and two, all the fluids pass through you faster. Use vaseline if your rearend gets chaffed and you can suck on hard candy to to get that taste out of your mouth.

Some friendly advise from someone who’s been there. By the way, anticipation of drinking the prep is what psyches you out. It isn’t as bad as you think it will be! =o)

Good luck!

thanks for your hysterical article on colonoscopies. I have to have one done and aren’t afraid of the procedure; it’s the fasting I’m nervous about but if a lot of people have it done, so can I.

Thank you so much for this article; I laughed hysterically (which is much needed because I am sooooo hungry).

Susan thanks for the tip.

Why do you have to drink this stuff so fast? It’s gross! Can’t I just gag and sip, gag and sip? Throwing it down my throat is what’s making me sick- I dont like sweet things too much. I don’t drink soda or even sugar in my coffee. This stuff is beyond gross… Come on baby, work! Damn it, work! I want to be done. T minus 18 hours remaining. I think we should get the sedative the day before.

OMG- I giggled through this entire article. I’m in the process now of cleaning out my colon. What a great giggle! Elephant semen…

Next time…for those of us over 50 who endure this crap every couple of years….only put 1/2 the water in the jug(with the lemon-lime) and buy a 2 liter bottle of 7-up. Pour half a glass of the ill gotten elephant semen and fill up the rest of the glass with the cold 7-up. Also, start earlier in the day if you your colonoscopy is the following morning…you will get some sleep. It was actually not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Nancy: Oh, NO! That’s not something anyone going through a colonoscopy should have to deal with. Hope everything went OK!

Thanks to you I knew what to expect the day before and the day of my colonoscopy. What I wasn’t prepared for was the sight of one of my neighbors (and one I’m not very fond of) assisting the nurse. Well, wasn’t that a special moment we just shared. Thank you for making me laugh.
