bowel preparation
"I had to post bc all the other posts were so helpful to me - as I was sitting on the toilet. Firstly, it tastes like crap.  Like the taste you have in your mouth the morning after a long night of drinking.  Disgusting. I did take the advice and use a straw second time around. It helped but geez.  You'll want to drink that first glass of water afterwards.  The second glass is tough. I only made it through 12 oz (rather than 16oz) first round - I felt like I was going to be sick.  2nd round, I finished it.Prep seems to be working - not painful but certainly uncomfortable. Most of the activity was in the first hour - 2nd hour things slow down (yeah!).  Last night, I was able to go to bed 3 hours after, only had to get up once. Procedure soon!"
