Obligatory GenX Colonoscopy Post: Bottoms Up!
Posted by Mr_Writes@reddit | GenX | View on Reddit | 6 comments
My colonoscopy is scheduled for Friday. Since I'm on a GLP1, they want me to do a 2-day prep, which means 2 gallons of Golytely. It sucks, but it's worth the peace of mind.
I've been doing a Cologaurd test annually, but I read enough posts to be convinced, at least on an anecdotal level, that it's insufficient.
So clear liquids only until 6 PM, then I get to chug the good stuff. I expect to have a shitty night.

That’s a bit aggressive. When I did mine, I fasted for 36 hours, and basically had a protein powder to add to water. I was starving, but got through it. Best ham sandwich I ever had afterwards…

While not fun prep really wasn’t as awful as folks say. I absolutely would ensure you dedicate a toilet for just you during prep. You don’t want to run (and you will at times) to toilet to find occupied.
Having a bidet was a life saver.

Omg...two days of purging? Killer, one day was brutal.

Nah, man. You don’t need to share this. Keep it to yourself
