tomorrow i go in for a colonostomy

Like others, drinking the fluids was the worst except for sitting on the toilet long periods of time.  However, did have stomach surgery several years ago.  So, is best to have the colonscopy.

I had one for the first time last year. I was scared, but I drank that drink, slept in the bathroom(lol) and was ready to go in for the procedure in  the morning. No polyps were found. Go back in 3 yrs.

Good luck!! I heard the worst part is the drink you have to take before the procedure. It is not fun getting those test, but it is worth it to stay in good health.

Yup, it's true.  The day before prep time is the worst part of it.  You don't remember anything of the actual procedure.
