Procedure tomorrow

I’m doing a 3 day prep for a diagnostic (not routine screening) colonoscopy I’m having done tomorrow afternoon. I’ve been on a clear liquid diet for 3 days plus drinking a prescription electrolyte solution. I have to do 2 whole jugs instead of one because of my brain not sending signals to my colon to contract. I’m also taking a stimulant laxative to help. I really hope all this is enough to make it possible to do the test tomorrow. I have issues with the meds not helping me go.

I hope your procedure can give you some answers. I, too, have had extreme constipation due to the clozapine and Mounjaro. Sometimes the only way i can go is by doing the full colonoscopy prep…it works, but i have to stay near a bathroom all day!

Thanks @Sunshine @TheCanuk @WhiteRaven

I’ve actually managed to previously do a whole bowel purge prep and not hardly gone at all. It’s crazy. I’ve had tests reveal part of my colon is paralyzed which doesn’t help.
