And if you don't go with the pills, use gatorade to blend the drink because the flavor is strong enough to kinda-sorta overpower it.
I've learned this the hard way, being something of a pro at this because of my family history forcing me to have my first one back in my mid-30s. The first time I used Sprite, reasoning that it was my least favorite soda. Choosing a fizzy drink was a mistake, and also the experience turned Sprite from a meh flavor to one where the mere thought of it turns my stomach.
Last time, about a year ago, I had the bright idea of using white grape juice, since I don't drink grape juice but I also don't hate it, and I figured the sweetness would drown out the drink's flavor. But it was actually disgusting and (spoiler font for grossness)
the smell of whatever you drink shows up in your copious pre-procedure shit within a few hours. Suffice it to say grape juice is now on my never drink list alongside Sprite, and it even temporarily turned me off to fruity white wines. Which was not something I could explain to anyone but Dylan on our fancy-schmancy wine country vacation last year.
I ended up begging Dylan to go out and get me some nice lemon gatorade for my second dose of that round, which was much better.
Mac and I watched Season 1 of Evil yesterday. I am shocked that it aired on CBS.
I love it, but also find it full of plot holes and unsolved minor things from episodes.
When I had my colonoscopy I got Dulcolax and Metamucil . Which worked out ok. Just drink it really cold.
Also they may tell you to mix the Gatorade in 48oz bottle. They don't make those anymore. Just get the largest and split it.
I found as well after a whole lemon and lime jello was too acidic. If you drink broth splurge for the nicer ones
Hopefully yours isn't in the afternoon like mine was. I was so ready to get it over with
Open its first thing in the morning, which is great, but because of the GLP1 I am supposed to be on clear liquids the whole 24 hours before. And it also says to drink the second bottle of prep 5 hours before the procedure which…am I supposed to chug it in the middle of the night and then stay awake??
meara - I'm afraid so. Because once you chug it, you'll be up for some time. When I had mine a couple of months ago, I wasn't supposed to chug it all at once, but in certain amounts every 15 minutes. So it was chug, bathroom, chug, bathroom.... Good luck.
Yeah, this is why I didn't mind that the first appointment I could get was in the afternoon. I did half the prep the evening before, slept the full night, then did the second half in the morning. It was fine! And I would have taken the whole day off anyway, no matter what.
Three day team meeting y’all. Excuse me while I go collapse in a pile for 36 hours.

That'll be my schedule in about a month. I think there's no really GOOD option here, just varying degrees of suckitude.

Oh my no. That's at least two and a half days too long for a meeting.
Even worse - it was my meeting.
It was fantastic, really. But boy is that a lot of peopling and being on. I am okay to just not talk to anyone at all for like four days. All I'm doing today is sending out thank you notes.
Yeah, I like my coworkers, but our twice-yearly, two-day meetings are a lot. Three days would be exhausting.
