Cool Medical Test

I'm starving! Today is the liquid diet day preceding the colonoscopy tomorrow.

Since breakfast (jello), I've had water, juice and pop.

Now it's time to start the gallon jug of Nu-Lytely.

Think of me in my misery

The procedure is at 8am tomorrow morning.

Re: Medical Test

From what I've heard and seen the prep is worse than the procedure. Thank God for versid and fentanyl.

I tried twice to do the test and took 2 Dulcolax and about died. I threw up, ect ect...I told the Dr. I would wait until I am 60 to do that.

Re: Medical Test

I survived! Shouldn't there be an award?

If you ever drink the "flavored" cocktail and have a choice +++++DO NOT select pineapple. It was awful.


Everything is ok. They want another one in 10 years. (the last one was'96)
If you wait long enough you can forget how fun it is.

Re: Medical Test

isn't there something besides that Nu-Lytely stuff that you can take for prep? That stuff is AWFUL!!!!!!!!!! I have never tasted anything as disgusting in my life. When I did it, I only got down about a glass and a half. Definitely NOT the whole gallon. Seemed to do the job, thank the Lord, tho.

I'm waiting. I'm not gonna have another of those tests until they come up with a better way to clean you out.

Re: Medical Test

It really is bad isn't it.
There's a pill on the market but most clinics won't use it.
About 5 yrs ago my brothers' prescription was the pills. Took 2 pills, an hoour later 2 more pills..............same results. Not sure why this method is in disfavor.
