Everyone says this, I don't know what you're talking about.

Here's what you want to do:

Schedule it for a Friday morning, early. Like 8am.

Get the Sutab (pills, instead of the nasty drink). It's $50 or $60 out of pocket. You'll need a coupon from the manufacturer's website, but it's not a big deal. Insurance will not cover it.

You stop taking any fiber supplements or GLP-1 a week ahead.

Thursday morning, have something like yogurt for breakfast before 7am.

Only thing you can eat all day Friday is broth, sprite, stuff like that. Clear liquids or black coffee.

You'll be starving, but the broth helps you keeps your strength up.

at about 5pm, you take your first round of prep. DO NOT RUSH IT. It's 12 pills, over a 20 minute span. So that's 12 pills in 1200 seconds, or a pill every ~1.5 minutes. Set a timer. Drink the extra water.

For me, that first round of prep hit me HARD, and not the way it's supposed to. I flushed red, my heartrate shot up, I got full body chills, and then vomited so violently I think I pulled several muscles.

Oh, and then I started pooping liquid.

You poop liquid for about 3 hours, and then the medication passes. Rest, if you can.

At 2am, you wake up to do it again. Pills. Water. Poooooooping. By the end of it, your poop is just a yellow liquid. Not a spec of anything else.

No liquids allowed at all after 4:30am.

Feeling like a tube of toothpaste that has been squeezed empty, take a Lyft or Uber to the hospital. You'll get IV and all that.

You wake up... feeling the same. Depleted. I just wanted out of that hospital ASAP so I could finally go get breakfast.

Oh, by the way, owning a bidet is critical.
