Thank you so much for the advice and information... Just to check... Can I drink the bovril in between taking the prep? ... I have the Moviprep x

Just had my pre-procedure call (seemingly saves time tomorrow at hospital! )

It's out of my hands... They say I'm scheduled for sedation 😳🙈 probably better this way... I have a runny tummy already through stressing out and I haven't even started taking the prep yet! 😂 😂

I’ve not been through this so have no advice but I wish you well.

I hope you get good news and everything goes well.

I had one 18 months ago and honestly its not bad at all, I did have sedation, but was fully awake and able to watch it on the screen, then walk to the car (husband drove), felt a bit tired for the rest of the day. The prep is honestly the worst. I was told to put it in the fridge to make it very cold, then drink with a straw. At first I thought hey this doesn't taste bad, but is sweet, so sickly sweet. The cold and straw does help. During the proceedure if you do feel a bit of discomfort bear down (as if trying to break wind) - I was told this by the nurse during an uncomfortable bit and it honestly helped. But over all it was not bad at all, certainly not painful

Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
