My Colonoscopy Experience Pt 2.
I'm so sorry I didn't post the part 2 right away but here it is.
Basically, you will want to do a clear liquid diet a few days prior to your procedure. Nothing with red food coloring. I stuck with lemon Jello, chicken broth and Sprite. Let me tell you, as someone who loves lemon, I get queasy just thinking of it now.
Gavilyte with lemon flavoring is awful. Chilling it supposedly helps, but I got so nauseous with it. Just do the best you can and drink as much of it as you can. I didn't finish the whole bottle. Thankfully the liquid diet also did it's thing. You will want clear BMS with no stool. As long as it's clear, you're good to go. So don't stress. If your insurance covers Suprep, get that. It's less liquid to drink. If not maybe try paying out of pocket.
The day of my procedure, the anesthesiologist had to give me something for nausea. I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to go through with it. I was so sick. Thankfully I everything worked out and the results showed no cancer.
