That is f***** up. The prep is awful.

“i scheduled a colonoscopy and all i got was blood shitting diarrhea!” in seinfeld airplane food tone
I have had 6 of them, the only way to make the experience worth it is to ask them to give you sedative twilight drugs while they go digging
probably a spicy take but after the inaugural probing I feel like the prep was like hugely overblown. Oh no, I’m peeing out of my butt. Who cares. zzzz.
And to make it relevant for this thread, Elon is human colonoscopy prep.

I’ve only had one, and was fully sedated. I didn’t ask for that, that’s just what they did. It essentially was no experience at all.
I regained consciousness during my last colonoscopy, but the drugs kept me from being perturbed about it.
Imagine this is your every day life. Every fucking waking moment you must either be within 30-120 seconds of a bathroom or you’ll have a violent shit like that. People live their lives like this, SWIM
Let those who have solid stool movements be blessed with such privileged takes like this
Yeah I mean for a day or whatever I don’t think it’s a big deal at all. As for what you describe, that would surely be bad news bears and even worse than Elon.
A clean start…
Meh, if you’ve ever had a cheap sausage pizza slightly past it’s “best by” date colonoscopy prep is a piece of cake…
For me anyway, the worst part of the prep was having to drink like a gallon of that disgusting drink.

Allegedly he does both (fuck and knock up):
Same. I also didn’t ask, but I certainly would have if it weren’t offered up.

When my wife had hers a few years ago, it came in a premade mix that was truly disgusting (I tried a teaspoon of it).
When I had mine last year, it was just a powder of polyethylene glycol that I mixed with Glacier Cherry Gatorade. That was fine and didn’t bother me at all.

This is the way. Colonoscopy/endoscopy pro here, have had somewhere around 26 of them. Stopped counting after 20. Prep now is so, so, so much better than 10+ years ago.
Pro tip, you can have clear gummy bears as part of the clear liquid diet. Helps me from going insane because it feels like you are at least eatingn something.
And yea, get sedated. Pretty sure that’s standard nowadays. I woke up midway through my first one when I was 12 years old. It was not fun. I’m always pleasantly unconscious for them now though.

I had one 5 years ago and had the mix with gatorade that wasn’t bad.
Then I had one last year and they gave me Suprep and it was the worst thing I’ve ever tasted in my entire life. It was all I could do to drink the prep and not vomit.

Yup. Suprep, golytely, and any other prescription preps are literally undrinkable, vomit inducing levels of awful. The Miralax/gatorade/Ducolax pills prep is infinitely better.
