I'm a pansy about liquid medecine, so I did those pills for my last scope and yacked all night long. FYI...the stuff tastes just as bad on the way up. The pills are HUGE. I cut them in half and still had trouble swallowing them. I had to take 20 the night before (3 every 15 minutes until they were gone...so it took an hour and a half) and 20 the morning of (again 3 every 15 minutes until they were gone). Here's the kicker though. Because my scope was scheduled at 7:30am, I had to wake myself up at 3:30 to finish the prep...which meant I was up until 5 prepping...which meant sleep wasn't happening.
In all honestly, the first 20 pills were okay, but it was the second round that got me. You ahve to drink SOOOO much with them.
For my scope yestereday I had 4 dulcolax pills, 2 10 oz bottles of magnesu=ium citrate (would have been better if I'd remembered to put them in the refrigerator) and miralax mixed with 64 oz of Gatorade. I will admit that I only drank half the Gatorade, but doc siad I was thoroughly cleaned. Honestly, that was the easiest prep I've ever done! ...and my colon was clean as a whistle...up until I ate that burrito last night!
