MY COLONOSCOPY PREP & After The Procedure 

How to prepare Gavi Lyte- I had the procedure on 11/30/2019. I kid you not, the key about taking the Gavi Lyte (bowel prep) make sure that the flavor packet you add to the solute (powder) is mixed up very good. Also, when you add the water make sure that you shake it at least for a minute real hard to mix the water and the solute. It's much better if you chill and prepare it at least three-four hours before your first drink. She is right, make sure that you drink out a GLASS (the kind that breaks) so that it retains the cold temperature. The key to drinking Gavi Lyte if you're very sensitive to taste is to make it COLD. I put it in the refrigerator for at least three hours before my first glass. If you haven't scheduled an appointment for this procedure, I highly recommend in the early morning between 9 and 10 if you are sensitive to not eating for a long time (ie. headache). Fasting with Broth- I did not eat anything (not even broth or anything else) the night of my prep. I had a mild headache in the morning. The night before my liquid diet, I cut out all solid food by 6pm. I followed the recommended diet before the liquid diet. The liquid diet for me was the worst part of this preparation. I am a big guy at 6' 5" and eating broth just doesn't cut it for me. I highly recommend beef broth; the chicken broth was very bland. Drink that broth every 3 hours as much as possible to keep your protein level up. Some other warnings- Here's a warning and I didn't listen, but it will fade the day of the procedure (Get diaper ointment for your backside, you will need it!) I was panicking that the Gavi Lyte would make me gag and I was pleasantly surprised. Disani water made me gag more than the bowel prep. It's kind of like a thick slightly salty/sweet water. I highly recommend like Mrs. Christy to start at a minimum of 5pm taking the solution. I thought I was supposed to drink it every 10 minutes, but every 15 minutes is fine. In order to make sure that you follow the doctor's orders, measure the amount of solution you're going to drink every dose. How to drink Gavi Lyte for comfort- I used a Pyrex measuring cup. Be ready for it to come when you least expect it. Also, highly recommended USE A STRAW TO SLURP IT UP and only take about three pauses if possible. It's not that bad. Use wet wipes, DO NOT USE TISSUE, YOU WILL REGRET IT! The day of the procedure, I was panicking because it was still slightly an orange tinge, but when I completely finished using the restroom it turned to a yellow color almost like medium urine. The day of the procedure- Be aware that Bile from your liver comes down through too during the night. When I got to the procedure place, they were so comforting. They took my vitals and asked about my pain level and I told the RN that I had a slight headache. After the IV was inserted, I could swear my headache went away almost instantly. I was allowed to remain in the area to relax before they wheeled my bed like structure to the procedure room which resembled an operating room. The Gastroenterologist was very nice to me. The nurse put oxygen on my nose and they told me to lie on my left side of the body and you will have to pull your right leg up towards your stomach in a fetal position almost (not as bad as I described). I closed my eyes for a few seconds and then I heard voices and they said my name and I said are you ready to do the colonoscopy and they said it had already been done. It's not like falling asleep, it's more like you blink your eyes for a few seconds and it's over. Recovery after the procedure- They rolled me into the recovery area and honestly, I wasn't groggy at all. The doctor came into the area and told me he found two polyps and they are currently being tested for cancer. If you have anxieties for this procedure, I wouldn't worry about anything. They made me feel so relaxed. I am so glad that my experience was a blessed experience. I apologize for the original post. I was just writing out what came from my mind (i'm autistic). I broke it down into separate paragraphs.

I'm binge watching colonoscopy prep videos since I've recently been told I need to do it and I'm so scared. Your calmness has helped me calm down a bit about it, so thank you!

I will be having a colonoscopy tomorrow morning... I am 3/4 of the way through my prep... I am 59 years old, and have been having some IBS- type symptoms. My father died of colon cancer at only 61 years old... so I have family history. The prep is not quite the horror story that people make it out to be, but bad enough! I hope that everything goes well tomorrow.

Four years later, and I'm watching your video to help me prepare for my colonoscopy. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you so much, you're so brave. Your husband has to be so proud of you. This video gives me hope and strength as I start my prep tomorrow. Your information is better than my paperwork and the information given to me by my doctor's office. Thanks again

You need to know how much I appreciate you, as a young woman, sharing this info. I’m terrified and I wanted so badly to know I’m not alone

Bless your soul literally, too many scary videos out there that can bring such bad anxiety and panic. I’m so happy I came across your video, I now feel much more confident going into this. Also, so happy you have such a wonderful supportive and loving partner. Thank you for sharing your experience! ❤️

Thank you June, i’m a visual person so appreciated your video very much. Thank you for taking the time to put this together for us. Tomorrow is my prep day next morning is my colonoscopy. Thank you again. :)

Thank you for filming yourself right after the procedure. I was wondering what that was going to be like. Great video. You made it look easy!

I'm having a colonoscopy tomorrow. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. I'm really nervous about mine but your video helped. Thanks again!!!

Had mine last week. Get it done, folks! I’ve had polyps twice now, and I’m so grateful they can catch these guys early. So I’m good and just have to have a repeat sooner then typically. And my! The first meal afterwards tastes so wonderful and the best nap after too. So take my advice and just get your colonoscopy when it’s recommended.

I used SUPREP as my prep. Clear liquids the day before, I only had to drink 16 ozs then 16 ozs of water. Repeat the next morning. Very easy prep. I've had 6 colonoscopy's and this prep was the easiest.

Your video has been the most helpful one I've seen so far. Thank you for all of the detailed advice.

Thank you so much for this!! 💜🙏🏻 I am starting prep today and was super anxious about it.....your video has been so helpful! 🙏🏻😊🌸

Thank you for your great prep video, you made it seem so easy and calming to my anxiety that I will have to go through this again. Good for you!👍

Thank you for filming your process! I pray you’re still in great health!

I have my first colonoscopy tomorrow and I'm currently drinking the BIG JUG and found your video really helpful and reassuring. Thank you! 😊

You’re the best June! I’m done the liquid for the night and celebrating with a popsicle. Feeling so much more at ease about round 2 and the procedure tomorrow, thank you!

Thank you so much for making this video. I watched it and was so incredibly helpful and made me feel so much less nervous. I agree the prep was really not that bad! Thanks again for sharing your story!

Thank you so much! This video is everything I’ve needed to know about this whole process. Im at ease. Getting mines done in the morning. ❤

Thank you your personal sharing was the BEST INFO video😊 And I watched many of them you get the award🎉

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm much more calm now that I see how to take the solution and how you described the aftermath of the procedure. I'm very thankful to you. I'll begin my drinks soon today with confidence!

Thank you so much for this video. I have my colonoscopy on tomorrow. This eased me about 40%. making a food list after the colonoscopy was an excellent idea. Im making my menu now. Im so glad your headache didnt get any worse. Very good video. It can save many lives!

Thank you, June for sharing your experience. This will help me a lot!!

Hello June. Many thanks. I was uncertain about some aspects and timing of the prep, but you make it all crystal clear.

Thank you so much. You have no idea what sharing your experience means to me. I have mine in two days and I’m beyond anxious.

I’m so glad I found your video. I’m having my fifth colonoscopy tomorrow and this is the first time I’ve developed a headache and nausea. Your tips for drinking that turbolax are excellent, thank you! Mine is pineapple flavoured but still very hard to get down and keep down.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Very well done, now I know how to do it and want to expect. My procedure is in 7 days. Thank for putting yourself through this, tons of people will benefit from it.

I'm having a upper and lower done tomorrow. Been over 20 years since the last upper and lower. Got all the preps over. Hard to drink the entire jug but I did it. Oh, to be sure of colon cleanse I fasted all day and will fast until the procedure.

My doctor just recommended a screaming and I was worried 😟. You have put me at ease. Thank you SO MUCH. May BLESSINGS be upon you and your family.

You’re supposed to mix it with lukewarm water not cold water then you chill it in the fridge

You are just lovely, thank you for the video! I have no issues with the whole thing, just wanted to see how you prepped the bottle. Nobody should be scared! They've done it a million times!

In my prep, I added country time lemonade powder, drink to help me swallow it, and I did good

Just had mine today. I'm experiencing some bloating and cramps but hopefully it goes away tomorrow. Fantastic video and thank you for sharing your experience .❤

Thank you so much you're making full a little better. I have to have my first one soon.

Thank you for this share. My colonoscopy is in 6 days. I started my prep yesterday. I found your video and I had the same idea for making a calendar to help me follow my prep. Also my procedure is at 1 pm on a Tuesday also so your info really hit home. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing. It really helped with my preparation.

I‘m actually sitting on the 🚽 right now watching this. I had my first portion 3 hours ago. Of the whole prosedure to prepare for colonoscopy, the thing i was most afraid of, was actually to poop my pants by accident. But after the 3 hours it allready feels like it‘s over with the pooping. Most likely I‘m wrong. I had moviprep. If it‘s cooled down, it was not pleasant to drink, but it wasn‘t as horrible as people told me. I drank it way quicker than they wrote on the package. I downed it in about 20-30 mins. I just wanna feel safe when i go to sleep later and during the drive the hospital after the 2nd portion tomorrow. Thanks for the video it was calming me down a bit. Greetings from Switzerland. Btw, people who had the colonoscopy told me horror stories about how bad this all is, it‘s not (yet)... wish me luck tomorrow pls

You are very likable. I enjoyed watching this video because it was helpful and made in a realistic way to show it can be done without fear.

Thank you for sharing your experience this was very helpful for me💓

I just had mine yesterday. I was not hungry at all after mine. I finally ate something light in the evening. It was my fourth one.

I got my colonoscopy today and having watched your video helped ease my mind. Thank you!

This was extremely helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing that, I'm starting my prep in 20 minutes for tomorrow procedure. this will be my 3rd time doing this, I'm almost 60, my Mom died of colon cancer at age 51, way to soon. thank you and God Bless !

Thank god I have reach this video, and thank you for kindness of sharing your journey, I appreciate of course you he way you have explain was very and comforting for my preparation. 🙏

First, I noticed your Prince sticker! Happy birthday to him today!!!! 💜💜💜 Now, thank you for this video! Like so many others here, I binge-watched colonoscopy videos and came across yours. Thank you for the calming information! I go in for the procedure June 10th, and am hoping all will go okay. Thank you again!!! 😊

Another thing to remember is to keep drinking after you’ve finished the prep so you don’t become dehydrated. I learned that the hard way.

Excellent real life experience. Great tips, thank you

I watched your video before my colonoscopy and it really helped. Thanks.

Thank you so much for your video! I hope I can drink the prep as well as you did 😊 The prep is what I dread the most 😖

I would like to say thank you for sharing your experience mine is tomorrow and I have been really worried until after seeing this thank you again.

Add lemonade flavor crystal light to your drink. And I was full awake when then did my colonoscopy...but I didn’t feel it. They played music for me. Thank you USC!

Starting my prep tomorrow being 17 I’m scared but this video helps!

I did a colonoscopy and endoscopy a week ago and the worst part was the evening/night after. I had soooo much belly pain because the doctor puts air in your gut to get better pictures. Time was the only way I could get the air out! I was regretting that I didn't just stick with liquids for 1 or 2 more days.

Thank you so much for prep this video and sharing it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BTW you look much more younger with your hair pulled up in a pony tail . Your great for sharing your experience and recommendations. I wish you a happy and healthy life . God Bless🙌🏻🙏🏼👍🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🙏🏼🙌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much for this video! I'm 29 and getting a colonoscopy done tomorrow and I'm really scared but your video helped to ease some of that!

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing your experience.

i have to do this in November i must say you are a strong minded lady, you made it look so easy i like the fact that you drank each glass quickly instead of sipping it great video.

I really enjoy your video!!! Thank you ❤

All of us commenting are getting it done tomorrow! Same here. Im super scared but your video really did help me! You made it alot more casual and less terrifying! 🙏. Namaste

Thank you for sharing explained well. I may have to do this in a few weeks.

Just a few tips that helped me. I did this procedure back in 2007 and used the packet that came with the prep and maybe it was a different product but all I can tell you is that from the 1st sip onwards, I gagged and threw up. This time, instead of the packet I used Crystal Light. I also used a straw and had refrigerated it from the night before, but I added ice to every glass so it was extra cold. I then had 1/8 of a lemon to bite on and a glass of ginger ale to chase each glass with. I agree with her that you need to drink as much as possible w/o stopping. Good luck. You can do it!

Thank you for making this! I feel way less scared!

Thank You for your informative video, Hope all was well with your outcome. I couldn't help but notice your beautiful Avocados waiting for you on your fridge , hope you enjoyed them !! Aloha

Thank you so much for this video, I'm getting mine for the first time at 830 tomorrow morning, this put my mind at ease ❤
