I've got my colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow, and I'm already dreading the 4000ml of Gavilyte-C Solution I have to drink tonight. I've heard horror stories from friends about dehydration and the frequent, watery bowel movements. I actually want to know how to prepare myself better than just hoping my colonoscopy goes as smoothly as possible. I want to know if anyone has any tips on how to make this process as painless as possible, or if anyone has any horror stories or unexpected side effects. I guess if anyone wants to share their experiences or advice it would be appreciated! I was told to drink it over 16 hours, but I'm not sure if that's enough to be comfortable. Just want to be prepared as much as possible, haha.
