thank you everyone for your responses earlier! I really appreciate it!

I can have liquids for the 30 hours leading up to my procedure. Just no solid food. I’m really anxious about it. The prep I am taking is called Clenpiq. It’s cranberry flavored. Not sure if anyone else has had experiences with it. I don’t take the prep until around 7pm. I’m just so scared about it.

Hello Daisy I can't remember what mine was called was 9half years ago I was fine with it, unfortunately I also have to have a colonoscopy awaiting appointment date, not the best of things to look forward to but I'm looking forward to getting it over with so I know what's wrong, I will be thinking of you and hope all goes well with your prep drink and your colonoscopy results are good, keep us posted sending a hug 🤗🧚

Just had one a month ago, The prep is not tasty, but take it slow, do not try to drink all at once, It helped me to make it very cold. The colonoscopy its self is really nothing..... It is over before you know it and very relaxing, funny right😂

Try not to overthink things, just take it a step at a time, you usually do good with challenges

Daisy don’t be scared about it. I had it twice and had no problems with other than running to the bathroom. Good time to start a diet afterwards you’ll be cleaned out!👍

The worst part of a colonoscopy is the preparation for sure! Then you go in and have the procedure (which you know nothing about because you're zonked out), wake up and they usually give you some ice cold juice. And it's all done! Dont worry. You'll be fine! :)
