Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Posted January 29, 2004 I had a colonoscopy earlier this month. The prep wasn't so bad - they now have some tablets you can take (though it's a lot of them) instead of the liquid. I don't remember the name, but your doctor should know about them. You take about 3 of the tablets with water or gatorade every 15 minutes until you consume 21 of them. This is done the night before. Then, in the morning, you do the same thing a few hours before the procedure. I found it easy.
