I only ate two of the packages of Jello, the berry blue and the lime. I kind of got sick of gelatin after that. I felt I was going to start jiggling.

I drank half of the laxative over the course of an hour, according to the directions. It didn't seem to bad, until about 15 minutes later and then the dam broke. Because I'd eaten nothing but blue and green gelatin all day, what came out was the most amazing shade of emerald green. Managed to get about 2 hours of sleep, though not contiguous, then woke up a 1:30 in the morning to start taking the rest of the laxative. By this point what was coming out was just pure liquid the color of the Gatorade I'd mixed the laxative with (which was, unfortunately, a bright yellow lemon-lime).

If you ever have a colonoscopy, buy a tube of Desitin (diaper rash cream) before you start your prep. My bum hole is SO SORE from pooping at least 30 times in one day.

The worst part of the actual procedure was getting the IV. They always have trouble starting an IV on me and when the nurse starts digging with the needle... AAAAAAAH!!!

They wheeled me into the operating room, had me lay on my left side, then injected something into the IV and the room started spinning. Next thing I knew I was back in the recovery room. I felt like going back to sleep for a few minutes, but that cleared quickly. They gave me their usual spiel (don't operate heavy machinery for 24 hours, etc) and I got dressed and walked out. I was a bit unsteady on my feet, but it wasn't too bad. I was in and out in about 2 hours.

The results were excellent. No polyps or anything. Nice, healthy butt tube.
