Prep Question...

Postby shannajean33 » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:23 pm

Hi everyone, I hope this is not a bother, but I have my first colonoscopy tomorrow and have a question...
It says to start drinking the Suprep at 7pm tonight, then drink the rest at 7am tomorrow. Do you think I will be up all night in the restroom since I am not starting until 7pm? I almost want to start at 5pm instead, but I dont want to mess anything up...? Any advice or experiences? Thank you so much in advance! :)

Haven't used Suprep but what you're doing is called a "split dose prep" and it's pretty common. It dies down after a few hours so I'm never up all night but it's still awful because they make me do the second dose at 2am. I don't get a lot of sleep that night.
I'm just a dude who still can't believe he had a resection and went through chemo (currently 13 years NED). Is this real life?
