Recently had my first Colonoscopy. I was really nervous about the whole thing. Prep was not bad at all really. And the fasting oddly did not bother me. The Miralax/Gatoraide mixture was actually quite palatable. Never had the Go Lytely, but heard it was the worst. This just tastes like Gatoraide with an off tasting powder mixed in. I did not find it too hard to drink all the solution. The last 8 oz. glass in the evening and morning were slower to drink, but not bad really.

It's the mutliple times to the bathroom that are a pain. Pun intended. You do lose a day and a half of your life with this procedure however. Procedure was a piece of cake looking back on it. Doc says let's get started and you hear him dictating a couple of notes to the nurses and then that warm feeling comes over you. Two breaths and the anxiety is gone (and so are you). Wake up in the recovery room and head home in about 20 minutes or so.
