Hey, better to drink than trying to give yourself an enema! That wasn't easy. Good luck!

I had 2 days of clear liquids, 12 dosages of antibiotics the day before, plus a gallon of something-lyte, which was the most disgusting thing I've every tasted. I was only able to drink 2/3 of it. It also made me vomit the last 2 doses of the antibiotics. I swear the prep was worse than the surgery!

Not me. I had to use a Ducolax suppository at 6:00 p.m. the night before. Thank God! My little bum burned a bit, but then again, I didn't have to drink that nasty stuff. And a whole gallon! Yikes! Ask your doctor if this will do instead.
