I took an 800 mg ibuprofen today (sat) and am having a routine colonoscopy on wednesday it is still okay to have it?

It depends: If you are going to have a colonoscopy that does not require a polyp removal or biopsy to be taken then you are ok otherwise this medication that you want to take increase the tendency to bleeding after removal of a polyp or biopsy taken. Check with your surgeon about taking this medication before colonoscopy. If want to take tylenol go ahead and take it according to the instructions on the box.
