I had my first one June 8. Had a gallon of prep to drink -- 8 oz every 15 minutes til half was consumed, wait a couple of hours, then repeat until it was gone. It didn't taste good -- a weirdly sweet taste that got old fast -- but it wasn't horrific. But there was so much of it that I was really choking back the last 3-4 glasses and chasing them with orange Gatorade.
The result was like someone hooked a garden hose nozzle to my ass. My shitting (if you could call it that) was done by about 1 a.m. Appointment was at 8. They knocked me out, I woke up and was done. Went to Perkins and ate a big breakfast because I hadn't eaten for 36 hours.
Doc said I had an "unusually good" colon -- not even a polyp.
Glad I had it done, and glad I'm good for another 8-10 years.
