I am a pretty small person and drinking all that prep liquid, and keeping it down, was near impossible. If I live another ten years I will still be hesitant about the process unless they come up with a prep that isn't quite so brutal.
The actual procedure was nothing. The prep was horrible for me.
I'm a beer drinker, a Liverpool fan, and a rugby nut. I downed the pint of solution and the 2 other pints of water in 30 minutes. My beer guzzling skill paid off!
ETA - kidding aside, I just wanted to get it over.
