How to prepare Gavi Lyte- I had the procedure on 11/30/2019. I kid you not, the key about taking the Gavi Lyte (bowel prep) make sure that the flavor packet you add to the solute (powder) is mixed up very good. Also, when you add the water make sure that you shake it at least for a minute real hard to mix the water and the solute. It's much better if you chill and prepare it at least three-four hours before your first drink. She is right, make sure that you drink out a GLASS (the kind that breaks) so that it retains the cold temperature. The key to drinking Gavi Lyte if you're very sensitive to taste is to make it COLD. I put it in the refrigerator for at least three hours before my first glass. If you haven't scheduled an appointment for this procedure, I highly recommend in the early morning between 9 and 10 if you are sensitive to not eating for a long time (ie. headache). Fasting with Broth- I did not eat anything (not even broth or anything else) the night of my prep. I had a mild headache in the morning. The night before my liquid diet, I cut out all solid food by 6pm. I followed the recommended diet before the liquid diet. The liquid diet for me was the worst part of this preparation. I am a big guy at 6' 5" and eating broth just doesn't cut it for me. I highly recommend beef broth; the chicken broth was very bland. Drink that broth every 3 hours as much as possible to keep your protein level up. Some other warnings- Here's a warning and I didn't listen, but it will fade the day of the procedure (Get diaper ointment for your backside, you will need it!) I was panicking that the Gavi Lyte would make me gag and I was pleasantly surprised. Disani water made me gag more than the bowel prep. It's kind of like a thick slightly salty/sweet water. I highly recommend like Mrs. Christy to start at a minimum of 5pm taking the solution. I thought I was supposed to drink it every 10 minutes, but every 15 minutes is fine. In order to make sure that you follow the doctor's orders, measure the amount of solution you're going to drink every dose. How to drink Gavi Lyte for comfort- I used a Pyrex measuring cup. Be ready for it to come when you least expect it. Also, highly recommended USE A STRAW TO SLURP IT UP and only take about three pauses if possible. It's not that bad. Use wet wipes, DO NOT USE TISSUE, YOU WILL REGRET IT! The day of the procedure, I was panicking because it was still slightly an orange tinge, but when I completely finished using the restroom it turned to a yellow color almost like medium urine. The day of the procedure- Be aware that Bile from your liver comes down through too during the night. When I got to the procedure place, they were so comforting. They took my vitals and asked about my pain level and I told the RN that I had a slight headache. After the IV was inserted, I could swear my headache went away almost instantly. I was allowed to remain in the area to relax before they wheeled my bed like structure to the procedure room which resembled an operating room. The Gastroenterologist was very nice to me. The nurse put oxygen on my nose and they told me to lie on my left side of the body and you will have to pull your right leg up towards your stomach in a fetal position almost (not as bad as I described). I closed my eyes for a few seconds and then I heard voices and they said my name and I said are you ready to do the colonoscopy and they said it had already been done. It's not like falling asleep, it's more like you blink your eyes for a few seconds and it's over. Recovery after the procedure- They rolled me into the recovery area and honestly, I wasn't groggy at all. The doctor came into the area and told me he found two polyps and they are currently being tested for cancer. If you have anxieties for this procedure, I wouldn't worry about anything. They made me feel so relaxed. I am so glad that my experience was a blessed experience. I apologize for the original post. I was just writing out what came from my mind (i'm autistic). I broke it down into separate paragraphs.
Kristen, I got a letter from the gastroenterologist's office in about a week later. Seriously, I believe people are overreacting about the prep. The IV insertion was the worst for me ( I hate needles).
I'm binge watching colonoscopy prep videos since I've recently been told I need to do it and I'm so scared. Your calmness has helped me calm down a bit about it, so thank you!
@@kyaramoerike3457 Just wanted to tell you I did both a colonoscopy and some other kind of internal examination, I was extremely scared before but I told the doctor and the nurse and they were really nice and understanding. I was given some calming drug and it helped a lot, it went SO much better than i expected and the prep wasn't bad at all for me. It all was so much easier than I had expected so I wouldn't be nearly as scared if I ever have to do it again! Good luck with your colonoscopy!
@@dlxcdenxts3000 They didn't find anything out of order, I still have the medical issues sometimes but no real reason. Everything is fine in my stomach at least which is good to know :)
@@Fitnessmtftransgender I was so scared too. I didn’t know what to expect. They hooked me up to an IV. Told me to lay on my side in a fetal position. I was asleep within a second. I did partial wake once in a dream like state. I remember saying it hurt, the nurse said something & I was out in a sec. I woke up wide awake back in my cubicle. No pain or anything after. The next morning I was 3 lbs lighter 😆 Other than the temporary partial waking I felt nothing or knew nothing from when I lay on my side to waking after it was all over. My test was clear. Hope you get along well. The drinking the prep wasn’t fun. I drank mine quickly with a straw. I had it cold from the fridge the first one but found it gave me a head rush. The second one I let it sit on the counter for an hour or so. It might have tasted worse but it didn’t give me chills or head rush. If you like sweet drinks like Gatorade you might not mind it. I found drinking so much sugar filled drink sickly sweet.
Bless your soul literally, too many scary videos out there that can bring such bad anxiety and panic. I’m so happy I came across your video, I now feel much more confident going into this. Also, so happy you have such a wonderful supportive and loving partner. Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️
I have my procedure tomorrow and from my experience the prep is not bad at all. I did my first dose. I started at 6pm and ended at 8pm. I drank the first 64 ounces. Had my first BM at 10 and still going. 😂😂 No pain….no nausea….just a good ole cleaning. I have to take the second half from 2am to 4am because my procedure is at 11am. Gatorade will become your best friend. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. The chicken broth that I bought kept me from getting a headache due to not eating. Thank you June for this video. I watched it 12 times before I started taking the prep. You helped me so much cause I was so scared.
I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. I'm really nervous about mine but your video helped. Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much, you're so brave. Your husband has to be so proud of you. This video gives me hope and strength as I start my prep tomorrow. Your information is better than my paperwork and the information given to me by my doctor's office. Thanks again
I will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning... I am 3/4 of the way through my prep... I am 59 years old, and have been having some IBS- type symptoms. My father died of colon cancer at only 61 years old... so I have family history. The prep is not quite the horror story that people make it out to be, but bad enough! I hope that everything goes well tomorrow.
Had mine last week. Get it done, folks! I’ve had polyps twice now, and I’m so grateful they can catch these guys early. So I’m good and just have to have a repeat sooner then typically. And my! The first meal afterwards tastes so wonderful and the best nap after too. So take my advice and just get your colonoscopy when it’s recommended.
WW Fan You’re over the hardest bit ....the procedure for me was the easiest part! Well done for getting through the prep & best wishes for a good day. Have some food and drink in your car for the ride home because you’ll be soooo ready for food. Don’t make my mistake ...I took a bag of skinny popcorn (can’t recalll the brand, hubby eats it on WeightWatchers/WW) and it was too dry & difficult to swallow! Update us if you’d like to, glad you’ll be done soon.
Thank you June, i’m a visual person so appreciated your video very much. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us. Tomorrow is my prep day next morning is my colonoscopy. Thank you again. :)
Thank you so much for posting. I've had one Colonoscopy & the prep was the nightmare I had imagined. I got so sick from not eating even though I was doing a lot of clear liquids and esp orange juice. It was so bad the dr had to extend my clear liquid window and told me not to take the second 1/2 of the prep. Bad thing is because of that he could only exam the lower part of my colon. I am ok now but unfortunately I had three polyps and now it is three years later and I have to have another one. I am terrified and said I wasn't going to do it but I started watching videos like yours trying to see if I can get some help because I don't want colon cancer. I have a 20 yr old son that needs me so much. I need to try and stay around for him as long as I can. I enjoyed watching your video :)
Linda Roberson My father passed away from it and seeing him suffer at the end made me an advocate of getting colonoscopy’s, especially if it runs in the family. I 100% believe that had he gotten a colonoscopy earlier he would still be here. Thank you for watching! 😊
June Christy I’m very sorry to hear that. How painful for you. I had an Aunt who passed away from it but idk exactly how she suffered because she lived in another state. My dad died of pancreatic cancer. Now that’s a hard one because it’s impossible to detect!!
I used SUPREP as my prep. Clear liquids the day before, I only had to drink 16 ozs then 16 ozs of water. Repeat the next morning. Very easy prep. I've had 6 colonoscopy's and this prep was the easiest.
Thank you for your video. It was the best one I've watched. I loved that you said there were 9 glasses during Part I and 6 during Part II. I knew when I needed to start my Part I prep and set 9 different alarms spaced 15 minutes apart. My Part II prep started at midnight. I was afraid that I'd fall asleep so I was glad that I knew to set 6 alarms, again 15 minutes apart. Your calm demeanor really has made my anxiety go down. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, June!
Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. I needed this prep & support to calm my nerves I’m 34 w/ stage 4 endometriosis and I am having a colonoscopy done next week so this prep and encouragement was so much appreciated 👏🏻 thank you thank you 🤍
I'm having a upper and lower done tomorrow. Been over 20 years since the last upper and lower. Got all the preps over. Hard to drink the entire jug but I did it. Oh, to be sure of colon cleanse I fasted all day and will fast until the procedure.
Add lemonade flavor crystal light to your drink. And I was full awake when then did my colonoscopy...but I didn’t feel it. They played music for me. Thank you USC!
I’m glad I google information concerning colonoscopy video. This is my first one and I am very scared your informative helped me a lot. I have my procedure May 29 8 AM. Thank you so much.
I have my colonoscopy on this coming Monday. Just picked up my prep from the pharmacy and watching all these videos to see what I got to look forward to this weekend.
I had my test yesterday, I ended up with chills, and taking my drink with me to the bathroom, I sat on the toilet and drank at the same time, awful! Your a champ!
Similar to my experience except I was too tired and kept going to bed then running all night. I should have stayed on the throne. My prep experience was the worst, I was crying and swearing. Chills, and not making it in time to the bathroom. Being up all night drinking and pooping felt like the world's worst hangover.
Just a few tips that helped me. I did this procedure back in 2007 and used the packet that came with the prep and maybe it was a different product but all I can tell you is that from the 1st sip onwards, I gagged and threw up. This time, instead of the packet I used Crystal Light. I also used a straw and had refrigerated it from the night before, but I added ice to every glass so it was extra cold. I then had 1/8 of a lemon to bite on and a glass of ginger ale to chase each glass with. I agree with her that you need to drink as much as possible w/o stopping. Good luck. You can do it!
Thank you so much for this video. I have my colonoscopy on tomorrow. This eased me about 40%. making a food list after the colonoscopy was an excellent idea. Im making my menu now. Im so glad your headache didnt get any worse. Very good video. It can save many lives!
October 13th .Previous watched your prep on the 10th October.Had colonoscopy on 11th October.Thanks to you I was relaxed and had procedure painless.Took away polyp completely all good said I made right decision to have colonoscopy .Back in few years for another.Thanks again
I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy a week ago and the worst part was the evening/night after. I had soooo much belly pain because the doctor puts air in your gut to get better pictures. Time was the only way I could get the air out! I was regretting that I didn't just stick with liquids for 1 or 2 more days.
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm much more calm now that I see how to take the solution and how you described the aftermath of the procedure. I'm very thankful to you. I'll begin my drinks soon today with confidence!
Thank you for sharing that, I'm starting my prep in 20 minutes for tomorrow procedure. this will be my 3rd time doing this, I'm almost 60, my Mom died of colon cancer at age 51, way to soon. thank you and God Bless !
I’m going onto my third colonoscopy tomorrow, and had 3 different prep solutions. So far, gavilyte is actually the best! Better than clenpiq and suprep. Holding the whole gallon is intimidating but it was actually quite chuggable.
You’re the best June! I’m done the liquid for the night and celebrating with a popsicle. Feeling so much more at ease about round 2 and the procedure tomorrow, thank you!
I’m so glad I found your video. I’m having my fifth colonoscopy tomorrow and this is the first time I’ve developed a headache and nausea. Your tips for drinking that turbolax are excellent, thank you! Mine is pineapple flavoured but still very hard to get down and keep down.
i have to do this in November i must say you are a strong minded lady, you made it look so easy i like the fact that you drank each glass quickly instead of sipping it great video.
Thank you so much for this informative prep video!!!! I am so upset that they dropped the colonoscopy age to 45!!!! I thought I was going to have 5 more years to go 😫😫😫. I am super nervous being that this is my first one but watching you has reassured me that everything will be okay.😊
Did you have it done already? I have inflammatory bowel disease and it’s 100% not fun. I just turned 30 and I’m going in for what will be my 4th colonoscopy in the last 10 years. The prep is the worst part: meaning not eating anything substantial for 24 hours isn’t fun and having to drink that crap quickly in a small amount of time is also not great. Otherwise the colonoscopy itself is not a problem, it’s extremely standard and these GI docs do them every single day of their careers. Other than the prep, it’s been a piece of cake in my experience. And the prep like she says in this video is tolerable even though no one wants to volunteer for it 😅 the best part after the procedure is getting to eat whatever your favorite meal is afterwards 😋
Thank you for making this video. I’m getting mine done tomorrow & this really helps ease my mind! Oh & my name is Jody too. Always good to see another male named Jody!
I’m scared. I gotta do one of these.. I’m dreading the prep but I’m more scared of the actual procedure sonthing going wrong or hurting me worse or bad cancer etc
All of us commenting are getting it done tomorrow! Same here. Im super scared but your video really did help me! You made it alot more casual and less terrifying! 🙏. Namaste
Thank you for sharing this. I am getting mine done tomorrow along with an endoscopy and Im scared. Being in Recovery I tell all of my medical professionals I work with that I cannot have anything narcotic so the women made sure they only will put mw under without the narcotic. Hoping that will help someone who is afraid of this as well.
I'll have my 5th colonoscopy in a couple of weeks, no big deal. The prep used to be far more difficult a few decades back, there was a 3 day prep which included Cod Liver Oil mixed with orange juice on the last day before the procedure-THAT really cleaned you out! You really felt depleted. Today, they've backed off and it's usually a 2 day prep with less harsh purge medication. No worries, everybody is doing it-relax and enjoy the deep sedation! Lovely hair, June-my wife's used to be that long and same color!
Thanks to your vid I’m less nervous about this whole colonoscopy thing. I got an appointment tomorrow and now I’m going to prep soon. Thanks for making this vid!
I have my procedure tmw and I was supposed to drink that whole gallon yesterday and I couldn’t. I was getting sick gagging. I still have that half left and another full gallon. It’s the lemon package that messed me up. Too sweet.
I finally had a colonoscopy, thought they should get a better prep……..still do, but I got through it. I would’ve started earlier had I known I would be up all night. Prep went down in under two hours for me. Doctor and staff were wonderful and I got great results. My advice…… just go do it. You are so brave to do this video, thanks
Just had mine done. The prep is not as gross as I thought. Its just that you have to keep drinking and drinking. It reminded me of a Margarita with salt without the alcohol LOL. My advise is to make sure the mix is really cold , use a straw, and hold your nose. Also the faster you drink it the faster it works. Drank the mix starting at 6pm and save the last 1/4 mix for the next day. When I was at the hospital I waited about 45 minutes before I had the procedure. Its like an assy line. One after another. When they took me in the room and prepared me I was relaxed and watching the monitor. As they were talking I dont remember going under but I remember watching the procedure on the monitor and wasnt freaking out. It was kind of interesting. I felt no pain or distress. Just totally relaxed. I watched as they cut a couple of polyps. I dont remember going back in my room so apparently what they give you will bring you in and out. Ive heard of some people who don't remember anything. I can vividly remember them talking and watching them work but I think it was pretty quick. I was not afraid of the procedure I was just worried about them finding cancer. They did remove 4 polyps and said they were benign and told me see you in 3 years!
I really appreciate this video. You helped ease my anxiety. I have an appointment in 10/1/2020. My doctor suggested I get it because I’m over 40 and, my uncle had colon cancer. I’m nervous but, we have to take care of ourselves. I told my friends and, hopefully they will schedule an appointment.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Nice! The only thing I would change is.. your first meal has to be easy on your clean colon because it is absorbing rapidly .... NO fried food and coke (poison food).
You have nothing to worry about, it is the most simplest procedure you can get. I put mine off for a few years and than I had mine after it was over I kicked my self in the ass for being a wuss and not doing it earlier, results came back negative, they should tell you how many pylops were removed and you get the results in a couple weeks.
@@markoliver-ww9ld Yes your very right my husband got the procedure done and everything was fine. He cancelled appointments too. Lol So funny when you think about the memories. Thank you
Thank you for this share. My colonoscopy is in 6 days. I started my prep yesterday. I found your video and I had the same idea for making a calendar to help me follow my prep. Also my procedure is at 1 pm on a Tuesday also so your info really hit home. Thanks again!
Thank god I have reach this video, and thank you for kindness of sharing your journey, I appreciate of course you he way you have explain was very and comforting for my preparation. 🙏
You are just lovely, thank you for the video! I have no issues with the whole thing, just wanted to see how you prepped the bottle. Nobody should be scared! They've done it a million times!
The liquid diet was the worst for me. The Gavilyte didn't bother me at all. Also, the worst part of the procedure was the IV insertion, I'm a 6' 5" chicken when it comes to needles. I'm an Aspie (mild autism).
Oh June! I love your sense of humor! Especially through this God awful procedure. My second colonoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow. Wish me luck and Thank You for presenting your journey. Btw, I'm 70 yrs old.
The last time I had a colonoscopy the nurse tried putting a needle in my hand three times and I passed out. I tried warning her that I'm hypoglycemic and I pass out easily under stress if I'm hungry. She didn't listen. Finally the doctor came in and put the IV in my arm. Hopefully this time the nurse will listen to me and put in my arm the first time.
I have to have my first colonoscopy in January, shortly after my 36th birthday. I told my gastroenterologist from the get go that my IV would have to be started by an anesthesiologist and I would need sedation and prior numbing. I’m taking a double prep because I have had chronic constipation my whole life. 8 litres of Peglyte or Colyte, 4 dulcolax and 3 days of liquid only diet. Ugh
I have finished almost half my mt prep!! I thank God my G.I. Dr Instructions were to pour the powder in Gatorade! You taste nothing folks!!Clear Gatorade is the answer! Omg I'm so happy!! My heart is no longer racing! I'm fine!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Very well done, now I know how to do it and want to expect. My procedure is in 7 days. Thank for putting yourself through this, tons of people will benefit from it.
Thank you! I was watching for your face to scrunch up and distort around 7:06 but you didn’t!! I plan to use my Moscow Mule copper mug for drinking the mix (Movi-prep) because it keeps things colder than anything else!
Thank you, i having colonoscopy and endoscopy with camera at same time. And im little nervous about it. But want know why my stomach hurts, can hardly eat, loosing weight, nausea, vomiting. I got my prep today. 😢
This was helpful I didn’t get hardly any information about the prep, and your lunch sounds delicious I’m on my way toGet my colonoscopy now thanks! Was worried about the color being yellow that was good to hear

I will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning... I am 3/4 of the way through my prep... I am 59 years old, and have been having some IBS- type symptoms. My father died of colon cancer at only 61 years old... so I have family history. The prep is not quite the horror story that people make it out to be, but bad enough! I hope that everything goes well tomorrow.
How did it go ?.I have family history also..doing one in a few days!😩
@@angelasmith257 Everything was fine! Not even a polyp. I don't have to have another one for 10 years.
@@963ag great to hear! praying same for me🙏🏻🙏🏻
Had mine last week. Get it done, folks! I’ve had polyps twice now, and I’m so grateful they can catch these guys early. So I’m good and just have to have a repeat sooner then typically. And my! The first meal afterwards tastes so wonderful and the best nap after too. So take my advice and just get your colonoscopy when it’s recommended.
DJJ mine is in 7 hours! I am soooo looking forward to FOOOD!
WW Fan You’re over the hardest bit ....the procedure for me was the easiest part! Well done for getting through the prep & best wishes for a good day. Have some food and drink in your car for the ride home because you’ll be soooo ready for food. Don’t make my mistake ...I took a bag of skinny popcorn (can’t recalll the brand, hubby eats it on WeightWatchers/WW) and it was too dry & difficult to swallow! Update us if you’d like to, glad you’ll be done soon.
In my prep, I added country time lemonade powder, drink to help me swallow it, and I did good
Thank you June, i’m a visual person so appreciated your video very much. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us. Tomorrow is my prep day next morning is my colonoscopy. Thank you again. :)
Thank you so much. You have no idea what sharing your experience means to me. I have mine in two days and I’m beyond anxious.
You are so likable and sweet. Thank you for helping others in this way.
Tiffany T thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you so much for posting. I've had one Colonoscopy & the prep was the nightmare I had imagined. I got so sick from not eating even though I was doing a lot of clear liquids and esp orange juice. It was so bad the dr had to extend my clear liquid window and told me not to take the second 1/2 of the prep. Bad thing is because of that he could only exam the lower part of my colon. I am ok now but unfortunately I had three polyps and now it is three years later and I have to have another one. I am terrified and said I wasn't going to do it but I started watching videos like yours trying to see if I can get some help because I don't want colon cancer. I have a 20 yr old son that needs me so much. I need to try and stay around for him as long as I can. I enjoyed watching your video :)
Linda Roberson My father passed away from it and seeing him suffer at the end made me an advocate of getting colonoscopy’s, especially if it runs in the family. I 100% believe that had he gotten a colonoscopy earlier he would still be here. Thank you for watching! 😊
June Christy I’m very sorry to hear that. How painful for you. I had an Aunt who passed away from it but idk exactly how she suffered because she lived in another state. My dad died of pancreatic cancer. Now that’s a hard one because it’s impossible to detect!!
I used SUPREP as my prep. Clear liquids the day before, I only had to drink 16 ozs then 16 ozs of water. Repeat the next morning. Very easy prep. I've had 6 colonoscopy's and this prep was the easiest.
Thank you for your video. It was the best one I've watched. I loved that you said there were 9 glasses during Part I and 6 during Part II. I knew when I needed to start my Part I prep and set 9 different alarms spaced 15 minutes apart. My Part II prep started at midnight. I was afraid that I'd fall asleep so I was glad that I knew to set 6 alarms, again 15 minutes apart. Your calm demeanor really has made my anxiety go down. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, June!
Thank you for watching! 😊
Thank you your personal sharing was the BEST INFO video😊
And I watched many of them you get the award🎉
Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. I needed this prep & support to calm my nerves I’m 34 w/ stage 4 endometriosis and I am having a colonoscopy done next week so this prep and encouragement was so much appreciated 👏🏻 thank you thank you 🤍
My test is tomorrow . thank you so much.for make me feel relax 🙅...
How was the whole process?
Thank you so much! This video is everything I’ve needed to know about this whole process. Im at ease. Getting mines done in the morning. ❤
You’re supposed to mix it with lukewarm water not cold water then you chill it in the fridge
Another thing to remember is to keep drinking after you’ve finished the prep so you don’t become dehydrated. I learned that the hard way.
And it helps with getting an IV if you have small veins like me.
I'm having a upper and lower done tomorrow. Been over 20 years since the last upper and lower. Got all the preps over. Hard to drink the entire jug but I did it. Oh, to be sure of colon cleanse I fasted all day and will fast until the procedure.
Add lemonade flavor crystal light to your drink. And I was full awake when then did my colonoscopy...but I didn’t feel it. They played music for me. Thank you USC!
I’m glad I google information concerning colonoscopy video. This is my first one and I am very scared your informative helped me a lot. I have my procedure May 29 8 AM. Thank you so much.
I have my colonoscopy on this coming Monday. Just picked up my prep from the pharmacy and watching all these videos to see what I got to look forward to this weekend.
I have mine this coming Monday to. Lol
Today is mine
I had my test yesterday, I ended up with chills, and taking my drink with me to the bathroom, I sat on the toilet and drank at the same time, awful! Your a champ!
Similar to my experience except I was too tired and kept going to bed then running all night. I should have stayed on the throne. My prep experience was the worst, I was crying and swearing. Chills, and not making it in time to the bathroom. Being up all night drinking and pooping felt like the world's worst hangover.
Starting my prep tomorrow being 17 I’m scared but this video helps!
How was the whole process?
Just a few tips that helped me. I did this procedure back in 2007 and used the packet that came with the prep and maybe it was a different product but all I can tell you is that from the 1st sip onwards, I gagged and threw up. This time, instead of the packet I used Crystal Light. I also used a straw and had refrigerated it from the night before, but I added ice to every glass so it was extra cold. I then had 1/8 of a lemon to bite on and a glass of ginger ale to chase each glass with. I agree with her that you need to drink as much as possible w/o stopping. Good luck. You can do it!
Thank you so much for this video. I have my colonoscopy on tomorrow. This eased me about 40%. making a food list after the colonoscopy was an excellent idea. Im making my menu now. Im so glad your headache didnt get any worse. Very good video. It can save many lives!
October 13th .Previous watched your prep on the 10th October.Had colonoscopy on 11th October.Thanks to you I was relaxed and had procedure painless.Took away polyp completely all good said I made right decision to have colonoscopy .Back in few years for another.Thanks again
You made me a lot less nervous about my colonoscopy. Thank you.
I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy a week ago and the worst part was the evening/night after. I had soooo much belly pain because the doctor puts air in your gut to get better pictures. Time was the only way I could get the air out! I was regretting that I didn't just stick with liquids for 1 or 2 more days.
You make it look so easy 😭 I have one tomorrow and can't finish my drink, and I don't think it tastes that bad I just can't, good job!
Did you get the colonoscopy done without the drink? If so how did it turn out
@@Jus_Jake h
Just had one - su prep and I just drank sips of ginger ale after each drink of salt water! Took taste out!
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm much more calm now that I see how to take the solution and how you described the aftermath of the procedure. I'm very thankful to you. I'll begin my drinks soon today with confidence!
Thank you for filming your process! I pray you’re still in great health!
Thank you for this! I’m so freaked out about mine, mostly the prep part and not being sedated enough.
Thank you so much for your video! I hope I can drink the prep as well as you did 😊 The prep is what I dread the most 😖
Thank you for sharing that, I'm starting my prep in 20 minutes for tomorrow procedure. this will be my 3rd time doing this, I'm almost 60, my Mom died of colon cancer at age 51, way to soon. thank you and God Bless !
You ROCKED that prep!
I’m going onto my third colonoscopy tomorrow, and had 3 different prep solutions. So far, gavilyte is actually the best! Better than clenpiq and suprep. Holding the whole gallon is intimidating but it was actually quite chuggable.
Chuggable I got a kick out of this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re the best June! I’m done the liquid for the night and celebrating with a popsicle. Feeling so much more at ease about round 2 and the procedure tomorrow, thank you!
I’m so glad I found your video. I’m having my fifth colonoscopy tomorrow and this is the first time I’ve developed a headache and nausea. Your tips for drinking that turbolax are excellent, thank you! Mine is pineapple flavoured but still very hard to get down and keep down.
i have to do this in November i must say you are a strong minded lady, you made it look so easy i like the fact that you drank each glass quickly instead of sipping it great video.
I'm doing mine tomorrow!
Did you already have yours done?
Thank you so much for this informative prep video!!!! I am so upset that they dropped the colonoscopy age to 45!!!! I thought I was going to have 5 more years to go 😫😫😫. I am super nervous being that this is my first one but watching you has reassured me that everything will be okay.😊
Did you have it done already? I have inflammatory bowel disease and it’s 100% not fun. I just turned 30 and I’m going in for what will be my 4th colonoscopy in the last 10 years. The prep is the worst part: meaning not eating anything substantial for 24 hours isn’t fun and having to drink that crap quickly in a small amount of time is also not great. Otherwise the colonoscopy itself is not a problem, it’s extremely standard and these GI docs do them every single day of their careers. Other than the prep, it’s been a piece of cake in my experience. And the prep like she says in this video is tolerable even though no one wants to volunteer for it 😅 the best part after the procedure is getting to eat whatever your favorite meal is afterwards 😋
Thank you for making this video. I’m getting mine done tomorrow & this really helps ease my mind! Oh & my name is Jody too. Always good to see another male named Jody!
5 years later, I'm watching your video. My procedure is on the 19th, and im scared. Love your video. Thanks for the tips!
I have to do my prep tonight and I'm dreading it. I've been watching video after video. Only have a half hour of bathroom freedom left
After all that bathroom usage you’ll be surprised how clean your insides feel. It’ll be over before you know it! 😊
I have my procedure in the morning. The prep is the worse part of it all. Best of luck.
I’m scared. I gotta do one of these.. I’m dreading the prep but I’m more scared of the actual procedure sonthing going wrong or hurting me worse or bad cancer etc
All of us commenting are getting it done tomorrow! Same here. Im super scared but your video really did help me! You made it alot more casual and less terrifying! 🙏. Namaste
You are the cutest couple. Thanks for sharing your story! My test is tomorrow morning at 8:30 😮
Thank you for sharing this. I am getting mine done tomorrow along with an endoscopy and Im scared. Being in Recovery I tell all of my medical professionals I work with that I cannot have anything narcotic so the women made sure they only will put mw under without the narcotic. Hoping that will help someone who is afraid of this as well.
I'll have my 5th colonoscopy in a couple of weeks, no big deal. The prep used to be far more difficult a few decades back, there was a 3 day prep which included Cod Liver Oil mixed with orange juice on the last day before the procedure-THAT really cleaned you out! You really felt depleted. Today, they've backed off and it's usually a 2 day prep with less harsh purge medication. No worries, everybody is doing it-relax and enjoy the deep sedation! Lovely hair, June-my wife's used to be that long and same color!
Thankyou so much for your reassurance. I was hoping to find a comment like this 😊
My doctor just recommended a screaming and I was worried 😟. You have put me at ease. Thank you SO MUCH. May BLESSINGS be upon you and your family.
You are very likable. I enjoyed watching this video because it was helpful and made in a realistic way to show it can be done without fear.
Awww, thank you for your kind comment 😊 Thank you for watching!
What was the drink solution 🤔
Thanks to your vid I’m less nervous about this whole colonoscopy thing. I got an appointment tomorrow and now I’m going to prep soon. Thanks for making this vid!
Dicen que es riesgosos ese estudios por eso nos hacen firmar el papel de consentimiento. Gracias por mostrar la preparación
Mahalo for sharing!! Doing mine tomorrow,four glasses down so far.
I had the same prep for my colonoscopy, you are a champ! I was crying, that stuff tasted SO bad! 😊
😢 I am crying
I was dry heaving. I couldn't finish it.
I have my procedure tmw and I was supposed to drink that whole gallon yesterday and I couldn’t. I was getting sick gagging. I still have that half left and another full gallon. It’s the lemon package that messed me up. Too sweet.
Had my first a week a ago. I agree, wasn't bad at all. Glad I did it too. They found three polyps and no cancer. They want me back in three years.
I'm used to fasting, but I guess this sugary drink breaks that. Now I'm worried about a headache....can't eat or have coffee...:(
Awesome video! Well detailed! You answered all of the questions I had and more. Thank You and bless you!
I finally had a colonoscopy, thought they should get a better prep……..still do, but I got through it. I would’ve started earlier had I known I would be up all night. Prep went down in under two hours for me. Doctor and staff were wonderful and I got great results. My advice…… just go do it. You are so brave to do this video, thanks
This made me feel better for my colonoscopy tmrw! I’m only 26 and I never thought I’d need one so soon 😣
You’re not alone, I’m 24 and getting mine soon too😢
@@rosalieholland25 I’m 21 and making my appointment tomorrow
Just had mine done. The prep is not as gross as I thought. Its just that you have to keep drinking and drinking. It reminded me of a Margarita with salt without the alcohol LOL. My advise is to make sure the mix is really cold , use a straw, and hold your nose. Also the faster you drink it the faster it works. Drank the mix starting at 6pm and save the last 1/4 mix for the next day. When I was at the hospital I waited about 45 minutes before I had the procedure. Its like an assy line. One after another. When they took me in the room and prepared me I was relaxed and watching the monitor. As they were talking I dont remember going under but I remember watching the procedure on the monitor and wasnt freaking out. It was kind of interesting. I felt no pain or distress. Just totally relaxed. I watched as they cut a couple of polyps. I dont remember going back in my room so apparently what they give you will bring you in and out. Ive heard of some people who don't remember anything. I can vividly remember them talking and watching them work but I think it was pretty quick. I was not afraid of the procedure I was just worried about them finding cancer. They did remove 4 polyps and said they were benign and told me see you in 3 years!
I really appreciate this video. You helped ease my anxiety. I have an appointment in 10/1/2020. My doctor suggested I get it because I’m over 40 and, my uncle had colon cancer. I’m nervous but, we have to take care of ourselves. I told my friends and, hopefully they will schedule an appointment.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Nice!
The only thing I would change is.. your first meal has to be easy on your clean colon because it is absorbing rapidly .... NO fried food and coke (poison food).
Thank you so much for this video. God bless you my husband and I were nervous. ❤
You have nothing to worry about, it is the most simplest procedure you can get. I put mine off for a few years and than I had mine after it was over I kicked my self in the ass for being a wuss and not doing it earlier, results came back negative, they should tell you how many pylops were removed and you get the results in a couple weeks.
@@markoliver-ww9ld Yes your very right my husband got the procedure done and everything was fine. He cancelled appointments too. Lol So funny when you think about the memories. Thank you
Thank you for your great prep video, you made it seem so easy and calming to my anxiety that I will have to go through this again. Good for you!👍
Very nice video. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for this share. My colonoscopy is in 6 days. I started my prep yesterday. I found your video and I had the same idea for making a calendar to help me follow my prep. Also my procedure is at 1 pm on a Tuesday also so your info really hit home. Thanks again!
God bless you beautiful lady you are so helpful and brave, you give me confidence to start my prep..thank you ❤
Thank god I have reach this video, and thank you for kindness of sharing your journey, I appreciate of course you he way you have explain was very and comforting for my preparation. 🙏
Ridiculous, I've had 3 Colonoscopies, just 2 small bottles of Suprep 12 hours apart.
My first one tomorrow. Your video makes me feel more at ease. Thank you so much.
I watched your video before my colonoscopy and it really helped. Thanks.
You are just lovely, thank you for the video! I have no issues with the whole thing, just wanted to see how you prepped the bottle. Nobody should be scared! They've done it a million times!
Well, you are a very nice person for making this video. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Very good information. You are correct that the worst part is the prep.
The liquid diet was the worst for me. The Gavilyte didn't bother me at all. Also, the worst part of the procedure was the IV insertion, I'm a 6' 5" chicken when it comes to needles. I'm an Aspie (mild autism).
Oh June! I love your sense of humor! Especially through this God awful procedure. My second colonoscopy is scheduled for tomorrow. Wish me luck and Thank You for presenting your journey. Btw, I'm 70 yrs old.
Thank you for watching! ❤️
The last time I had a colonoscopy the nurse tried putting a needle in my hand three times and I passed out. I tried warning her that I'm hypoglycemic and I pass out easily under stress if I'm hungry. She didn't listen. Finally the doctor came in and put the IV in my arm. Hopefully this time the nurse will listen to me and put in my arm the first time.
I have to have my first colonoscopy in January, shortly after my 36th birthday. I told my gastroenterologist from the get go that my IV would have to be started by an anesthesiologist and I would need sedation and prior numbing. I’m taking a double prep because I have had chronic constipation my whole life. 8 litres of Peglyte or Colyte, 4 dulcolax and 3 days of liquid only diet. Ugh
@ That's smart to get it numbed first. I wish I had thought of that. Good luck! I hope everything turns out just fine for you, happy early birthday!
I have finished almost half my mt prep!! I thank God my G.I. Dr Instructions were to pour the powder in Gatorade! You taste nothing folks!!Clear Gatorade is the answer! Omg I'm so happy!! My heart is no longer racing! I'm fine!
Mine is tomorrow and I just started prep. It’s so gross! 3 glasses down, 3 to go. Then half the jug tomorrow. Ugh.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Very well done, now I know how to do it and want to expect. My procedure is in 7 days.
Thank for putting yourself through this, tons of people will benefit from it.
Thank you. I have a colonoscopy and EDG so I'm really nervous. This video has helped me calm down. ❤ blessings 🙌 ❣️
Thank you! I was watching for your face to scrunch up and distort around 7:06 but you didn’t!! I plan to use my Moscow Mule copper mug for drinking the mix (Movi-prep) because it keeps things colder than anything else!
Thank you, i having colonoscopy and endoscopy with camera at same time. And im little nervous about it. But want know why my stomach hurts, can hardly eat, loosing weight, nausea, vomiting. I got my prep today. 😢
Thank you- helped eas the nerve of “ am i doing this rite” so thank you sooo much
I just had mine yesterday. I was not hungry at all after mine. I finally ate something light in the evening. It was my fourth one.
Thank you for sharing explained well. I may have to do this in a few weeks.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 29 and getting a colonoscopy done tomorrow and I'm really scared but your video helped to ease some of that!
How did it go?
Thanks for your video very helpful, now I'm kinda concerned that my eye color will change as well... 😍
Thank you for making this video. I have my colonoscopy in a few days and feel so much better about it.
@@pollyannaprinciple5860 Thank you for watching 😊
This was helpful I didn’t get hardly any information about the prep, and your lunch sounds delicious I’m on my way toGet my colonoscopy now thanks! Was worried about the color being yellow that was good to hear
Yes but what about those with gastric bypass. Some of us can't drink that much that fast.
