I'm glad you got through it all okay, and I hope the polyps turn out to be entirely benign.
My first colonoscopy prep was very unpleasant, though a good portion of that was timing -- I was up all night drinking the required stuff every so often, and had chills and couldn't get warm. The actual procedure was a doddle after all that.
The second one in mid-2021, was much easier. I worked back on the prep timing, and made an afternoon instead of a morning appointment. That meant all the hard stuff was while I was expected to be awake, and I got a decent night's sleep between that and the final prep.
I guess I'll have one more in ten years, but they don't recommend them after age 75.
