Ok. I thought I had done all of my research regarding sleeve surgery & thought I was completely prepared. Nowhere do I remember hearing about the horrors I have faced today. I have been on clear liquids for four days. Today I was instructed to take Neomyacin 500mg 2 tablets + Erythromycin 500mg 2 tablets today @ 1:00, 2:00, 6:00, & 9:00. Yes that equals 16 total antibiotic pills plus 1/2 a bottle of mag citrate @4:00. I can honestly say I should win The Cleanest Colon Award. I just hope I live until I have to be at the hospital @ 5:45 in the morning for surgery.

If I survive the poopage, I can't wait to join on fellow Octosleevers on the losers bench tomorrow!!!

No fun! I got my instructions today didnt seem to bad' date=' 3 bottles of Mag citratge, 1 1/2 bottle at 10am and the other 1 1/2 at 1pm with 24 hrs of clear liquids that day! Not looking forward to living in the bathroom all day but glad Im starting my time off work this day![/quote']

You have to have that wrong????? 3 bottles? That's ummmm well I hope you have good plumbing and I'd recommend a padded seat.....Thats like montazuma's revenge administered at home....yikes!

Mind you, it will get you ready for the liquid phase of the program well....just sayin'

And all I had to do was not eat after 6 the night before....I was lucky I guess!

Gosh I hope its not dangerous? It does sound excessive. Couldn't it deplete your body of water severely?

I know they want you cleaned out but hydration is vital for surgery as well.

Yikes

3 bottles of mag citrate?! Omg!!!! That's more than what's required for a colonoscopy! Actually 3 times a much. Holy cow.

yes not looking forward to it im sure it will be miserable since ive never done it before!
