Quick points:
1) I'm in pain
2) I've had more D than I ever want to have again
3) I hate phospho-soda

Can't it all be over already?

Ugh! Hang in there!

I agree about the phosphosoda. I still think it's the most vile thing I ever tasted.

I couldn't swallow my second phosphosoda dose, so the doctor on call said that I could take some Dulcolax instead. So it's just like another Fleet kit.

Nope, couldn't get down my 3 eight oz glasses of the stuff either. I only got two down and that was fine. I swear they want you completely, I mean COMPLETELY cleaned out! Hang in there. I'm sure it will be all worth it in the end

Hopefully, by now you are all thru with prep. I recommend that you hold your nose real tight and drink up as fast as ya can. Another trick I've found helpful. At least 4 days prior to a prep watch everything you eat. Broth, not much bread, no beef foods keep yourself on a bland diet. This way the food comes out faster. It's worked for me. Good luck! Hug

You may be on your way to surgery by now, but I wanted to say good luck!! I find out next Monday if I need surgery. Keep us posted on your recovery.
