Currently drinking mine!!! My husband added tropical squash to mine, it's making it more manageable, add several ice cubes to the "drink" & use a straw placed as far back on your tongue as is comfortable, I've been trying to get it down in two to three gulps. It's not something you want to drink on a daily basis, but add flavoured squash & it's manageable. I'm sure if the company tried though it could make this much more palatable, I have no idea why they can't add something to give a better taste, profit i guess! Oh well From the first glass to "going" for me was about 45-60 minutes, you will have to learn to run later! Bathroom.. I have flushable wet wipes, my new best friend!! Also I have sudocrem, apply this after after every movement, its a must!! Have a magazine or some games on your charged phone, you're in the bathroom a fair while. There have been no accidents, no cramps, I was pretty nauseous, the ice helps, suck a piece in-between the prep, drink plenty of ordinary fluids too & keep reminding yourself It's going to be worth it. Update: slept quite well with only 2 visits to the bathroom, woke at 7,30, showers & got to the hospital by 8.15, I wouldn't get up to early if I were you, it'll make you want to eat it drink & nerves grow. Didn't feel the need to "go again" at all. The staff at the hospital were amazing, I was first down so lucky there, got light sedation and had both endoscopy & colonoscopy (lucky me!!) It took about an hour, time flies in there, you're also given some pain relief if needed & oxygen. Then back to the ward to wake up properly with a cup of tea & a biscuit. My results were really good with no follow up needed. It's natural to be nervous, but hope you all have good results like I did. Good luck x
My family are having a gathering in my house with lots of food and I’m on my low fibre diet and will be having the moviprep tomorrow. I hope all this will be worth it, this is really testing my self control
Moviprep works very well, just follow the instructions, get ready for the second dose to be harder to get down but this is normal (after speaking to other people). If you are going for a colonoscopy don't panic it's not that bad and good luck, hope it's clear results.
I have to try and drink this stuff tomorrow the last time it came back up and couldn't keep it down ,it's the volume of it too its so bad ,surely if we can put people in space we can get a better solution down to a tablet ,and if they did more people would get colonoscopy so would make more money
I like how they say if it doesn't work the 1st time they'll have to come back. Hey you got 1 shot at this for me there's no coming back. Oh I wouldn't even go the 1st time
If you have Emetaphobio, this is hell! 😢 Ever since I received my letter I have been suffering from panic attacks, anxiety and stress, and shaking. I hope it's not bad. But I am so scared of everything that is involved. ☹️ 😬
Ugh phobias are awful. I've got one of pipes and tubes being stuck in places they shouldn't . I also need a colonoscopy as I've had bowel issues for two years. Hell knows what I'm gonna do. I can't live with this issue, yet I can't see myself plucking up the courage to get a colonoscopy either.
I will have to get a colonoscopy down the road because there’s a history of colon cancer in my family. I understand you are sedated but that’s what I’m the most concerned about because I have tricky veins and a fear of needles. My mom who’s had plenty of these tests assured me that I can be given nitrous oxide sedation during the IV insertion. This worked wonders when I had major surgery 2 years ago, my surgeon witnessed me having a meltdown as I said goodbye to my service dog who was with me. He then said to the anaesthesiologist that laughing gas would be a good idea to take the edge off. I had about 5 litres (50%) gas and I held the mask over my face. The anesthesiologist was AMAZING, told me every little thing he was doing and telling me what I’d feel. I did feel the prick of the lidocaine injection going in but because of the laughing gas my brain was in that “I don’t care” mode. It went so smoothly. If you are a very anxious person like I am i highly suggest talking to your doctor about laughing gas sedation during iv placements
Yeah this hasn't convinced me. Given the doctors are just box ticking for this procedure (their words), I'm done with them. Not for me, nope. Thanks anyway.
This will be my 3rd colonoscopy but this time it`s through a stoma , i find Moviprep a little unappetising but not the worst thing i`ve tasted, just get it down , i`m a little worried about them going through my stoma but i trust NHS 100%
Mind asking the reason you had it done twice before? Is it because the results weren’t showing clearly or that the bowels weren’t emptied out properly? I have mine next weekend and just want to make sure I follow everything so that they can see whatever they are trying to see clearly.
@@hassanmazza1831 first time was bowel cancer screening which we get free in Wales at 60 , 2nd was to make sure two polyps I had removed were gone , third was a three year follow up and I'll have another when I have my colon rejoined so they get a full picture hopefully this year
How awful you have had it ! I’m expecting a bed result 😢 , i have a fear of stoma and bags on 🤨 I have cried reading your post I do hope your bk to good health and leading an healthy lifestyle 🙏🙏🙏
@@danielpitt7347 Hi Daniel I'm fine thanks I had my stoma reversal last November as well as a large hernia fixed and I'm feeling great doing lots of walking but I do have another colonoscopy next month the doctor said she'd like another look after my op , I hope you're okay

I’m having mine on Tuesday ( 6th sept) at 15.15pm when do I need to start taking the moviprep?
What a great description, I've finished my 2nd Moviprep about an hour ago.
Cameras both ends in the morning 😁🙈🤞
Reading this while I’m pissing out my arse in preparation for my colonoscopy today

Well the video does explain that so you don’t have to write it . 🤡

Excellent video thank u so much for sharing ♥️♥️♥️👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🥰🥰🥰
Tastes like thick salty lemsip
I'm lucky to have my parents to help me with this..
👏🤝tnx
I like how they say if it doesn't work the 1st time they'll have to come back. Hey you got 1 shot at this for me there's no coming back. Oh I wouldn't even go the 1st time
Just ad some syrup and it taste much better.........drink it as cool as possible that will help too....
I’m taking it right now on my 2nd out of 3 lots and I’m struggling so bad to get it down 😩😩
@@oldgreg1448 I'm actually enjoying the taste right now :D
I'm sure cocaine is cut with moviprep as anytime I've had a line that's decent I've had to dash the toilet for ten minutes.
Was the cocaine lemon flavored? It shouldn't be.

moviprep has the worst flavor I've tasted in my life by several orders of magnitude from the second worst
It tastes disgusting
I would recommend putting in cordial and sweeteners, and trying to drink it with a normal drink as soon as possible.
It is not great though ;-;
@@ToshimonsterRealm hopefully I won't be having it again
My one was lemon flavoured and just tasted like bitter lemon. Was yours different?
@@AHJ99. mine was too . I struggled with getting the second one down
I chugged it all down in a few minutes then chased it with some water. Not the best tasting but I've had worse. Shit my gut out for a few hours.
