My biggest takeaway - get the pills.

I only had to drink two 6 oz bottles of clinpiq, plus a lot of water. It wasn't any big deal. Glad I didn't have to do what you did.

Yeah It was a lot of liquid but she told me my prep was great too so maybe all that water in the mix helped. I might ask about other options next time I get one. I asked her about the prep as she was wheeling me back and she said this one is cheaper and insurance covers most of the cost so maybe some of the newer ones are more expensive. I have a hard time swallowing a boat load of pills and chugging water but might ask for that option next time to try but that is many years away fortunately.

Had a follow up one today and get to go on a two year cycle now.

Still wish the prep wasn't so disgustingly awful. But it's bearable. Think I hate the dehydration headache and being so tired the day of the most. The medical nap just makes me tired all day.


Did confirm a theory from my last one. Now gonna say pro tip. Schedule for midday. Let's you have a light breakfast the day before then spreads the two prep doses out so that you can actually get a semi normal night of sleep. For years I did early morning l because for most surgeries early is better. But now convinced midday is the way to go for this.
