Movi Prep Question...

I'm having a colonoscopy in a few weeks.  It will be my first one with Movi Prep, I've always used Fleet in the past.  I'm really nervous about the amount you're supposed to drink.  I haven't picked up the prescription yet but I've read that you're supposed to drink 2 liters!  Who in the heck can drink 2 liters?  That just seems like way too much.  With the Fleet, I only had to drink a few glass fulls and it was a breeze.  I can get over the taste but not when it's that much liquid to drink.

Also, my appt. is at noon.  My instructions are to not eat anything the day before but it seems like I should be able to eat breakfast the day before and then stop eating 24 hours before.  I remember past scopes that were in the morning and I was instructed to not eat after noon.  I've never been told no food for the entire day before, especially with a later appt.

Ugh, I'm so dreading this...it's been almost 4 years since my last colonoscopy (I had a sigmoid 2 years ago).  I know the procedure is no problem but the stress of it all just really sucks.  I just want it to be over with.

Here's a few suggestions to get you through....

Drink it very cold and with a straw -- put the straw as far back as you can to get it down. After you drink a glassful, take a swallow of lemonade Vitamin Water, and then in between, suck on a butterscotch disk or peppermint. A nurse told me this, and it made it much easier than I had anticipated! Good luck!
