Small Walmart Haul!

[@doloreswilson6698]

I bought myself a new washer and dryer for my 65th Birthday 😊 Great haul. Daisy no chewing .😊

For me eating really light the day before you have to prep (such a lovely time) made the prep itself easier. Ginger Ale and white grape juice are great and if you can find popsicles with no red dye they are also good to have on hand. The procedure itself is nothing. Hope everything goes smoothly for you 💕

I work in a hospital as a unit secretary. The clearer the beverage the better. The idea is to clear you out for the procedure. The nurses use crystal light to add to the "golytely" prep to make it drinkable. The reason for avoiding red or darker is so that there is no mistaking it for blood. (No red Popsicles for after tonsillectomies either for that reason) I personally, went with the ColorGuard stool test vs the colonoscopy. Less invasive. You can build back your gut biome after the colonoscopy with real meat/bone broth, avoiding sugar/ sugar-free foods and adding some probiotics.

I ate very light three days before….. I didn’t eaanything heavy. I drank a lot of liquids. And I just didn’t really eat, which makes it so much easier . Good luck 🙏🫶🏻🤗

Clear Gatorade!! Will help so you don't feel completely depleted. Recovery is fast prep is the worse🎉.. just so you know

[@ellenwillis178]

O my ! Had one and it was not good. I was so sick. Mom had to help me and then the nurse had hard time with IV and doctor was running late and he was mad. Never again for me. Good luck.

I’d double check with your doc but I know my doc said clear liquid only for my colonoscopy so you might have to save your soda for after 😊

[@libbysworld7649]

I was just about to type the same thing. I just had one and my doc was VERY admiment about clear liquids only. Like Sprite or 7 UP.

[@LisaMarieBudgets]

Coke and Dr Pepper are allowed! It’s on my allowed list and I double checked when they called Monday.

[@MicheleL-ve6bm]

You can have soda including Coke or Dr Pepper. You can also have gummies……yellow and green ones

[@libbysworld7649]

@MicheleL-ve6bm I want your doc next time. Lol

[@libbysworld7649]

@LisaMarieBudgets I was robbed! Lol. Also, if you have Kroger on your area, Coke Zero is much cheaper there. Like $2 for a 2-litter.

[@DvsDebt]

They’re pricey, but I love the LMNT electrolyte powders in different flavors (chili mango is my favorite) and they have no coloring added. I get mine through Amazon with reward points since they’re expensive. Good luck with the colonoscopy! I’m curious to see how it goes, since I’ve been putting off getting mine because I’m a chicken! 😜

[@TheMeganExperience]

You’re lucky you can have coke! For my colonoscopy it was only yellow or clear so I had the clear Gatorade and pineapple jello

[@JenniferWilliams-w5l]

I had to drink 64 ounces of white cherry gatorade mixed with miralax and it was terrible lol. I also could only have clear liquids as well. I went without anything extra and starved. First thing I ate was a burger, fries and shake from Shake Shack after I left the procedure.

[@Tricia747]

I had a colonoscopy two weeks ago. I had to have the Miralax/Gatorade drink and it was horrible. Pills sound much better

[@sandraklos7700]

I hope I can get the pills next time. I hate drinking that stuff.. I could drink pop I had to buy white pop like 7-Up or Sprite .

[@LisaMarieBudgets]

It was a breeze!!!! The worst part was a caffeine headache.

[@jeanninethompson6243]

I’ve had 3 colonoscopies and the prep was the worse part. Hope they find nothing of interest on your procedure
