Just do the prep as they tell you, that's the hard part, the actual colonoscopy is a doddle, as you're out of it

Be sure to have the food you’re able to have during the prep in stock! (Definitely fact check this, but I remember being allowed chicken broth and jello without red dyes) The prep really is the hardest part. I had the thicker liquid that you had to have a glass of every hour I think and it made me gag, but I know there’s one that’s less thick that you’d have to drink more often. Next time I get one, I’m definitely doing that. Also, highly recommend getting some wipes if you don’t already have some. You’ll be having to go a lot during the prep, so it helps with any irritation. Good luck!!
