The best way I can describe drinking this entire thing as a colon prep for a procedure is that it's like that bit in the sixth Harry Potter book where he has to force feed Dumbledore that basin of poison to get to the bottom (it's been established that they're not great books but I'm part of that generation) but you're both Harry and Dumbledore both force feeding it to yourself while begging yourself not to do it all while lamenting the awful cruelty of Voldemort (your doctor).

    The first time I had to drink one of these before surgery, I had no problems with it. I was stopped up pretty bad a couple of weeks later and got another bottle; it had done such a great job the first time. Drank half the bottle and then immediately vomited. I guess my body remembered what the liquid did and got a little ahead of itself.

    Idk if this is what they had me drink but I was so mad like why would you have me drink this?? The whole reason I needed the procedure is because I couldn’t eat or drink anything. I literally could NOT swallow that stuff my body WOULD NOT LET ME INGEST IT. Like what the fuck it was so bad I was involuntarily not allowing myself to swallow

    Yeah I washed down the prescribed laxative pills with it and it was fine. Until it began taking effect. On one hand it was very unpleasant. On the other hand it was the least unpleasant day for a few weeks, since the next day was major surgery on my genitals
