Colonoscopy prep: Pills vs liquid prep?

I recently had an "abnormal" Cologuard result and will have to undergo colonoscopy. I've had 4 before and had no problem with the MiraLax/Gatorade/Bisacodyl prep, but this GE team is prescribing 2 liters of GoLytely plus Dulcolax x 3 times, starting 2 days before, 1 day before and day of, for total of 6 liters. Is that much laxative safe? How bad is GoLytely?

It is safe but I won't sugar coat it. The taste is horrible. Definitely use ice. Get it as cold as possible and if you can drink it fast. We are not all the same but I had a hard time keeping it down. Best of luck.
