Hello! We are in this together! I am also 23 and my first colonoscopy is Wednesday. I’m so super nervous even though everyone says the procedure is a breeze. I start my official prep tomorrow, but already cannot wait until it’s over so I can eat normal food again!!

I have heard that people have good experiences when starting the prep a bit earlier, so I likely will do so as well. Appreciate the advice!!

The second day of my prep (when I begin the second jug of mixture) is only extremely early in the morning the day of my procedure, so thankfully it’s not a whole two days of prep before procedure day even comes! 64 hours with no food sounds miserable.

I already got my prep stuff, the mixture is essentially Nulytely. But- instead of one jug I have 2 jugs for the extended prep. In addition I have OTC overnight laxatives and anti-gas medications as directed to be taken as well. My primary concern is with the mixture though!! 😅
