Hey, Guys. I have to take a colonoscopy on 8-7-12. The doctor has given me prep instructions as follows: Day before:

1. Drink only clear liquids all day.

2. At 3:00 pm, take 2 dulcolax tablets

3. At 6 pm, Mix (238-355 gram) bottle of Miralax into 64 oz. of Gatorade. Drink 8 oz glass every 15-20 minutes until I/2 is gone (32 oz). Put the other 32 oz. in the fridge.

4. 8 pm, take another 2 Dulcolax tablets with a glass of water.

5. Clear liquids til midnight.

Day of colonoscopy:

1. 4 hours before scipe, drink the last 32 oz of Gatorade and 2 add'l Dulcolax.

2. Drink more liquids til 2 hours before the scope.

What the heck??? I think this will make me sick, although, the doctor says it won't. Don't know how I'm gonna get to the hospital without urinat*ing or you know what in the car, lol. I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago and it was similar but not quite so ridgit. I had to cut off eating the evening before, not a whole day before. And I took something already prepared and it wasn't Gatorade. Might have been Fleet??

Anyone else use this regiment as a prep before??
