If you don't have the stomach for this please keep it moving.

Please share your bowel prep guidelines, survival tips etc..

My bowel prep guidelines are

Dr ordered K-Dur Potasium pill

238 grams of Miralax mixed with 64 ounce of Gatorade not purple red or orange.

9:00 take two

11:00 take one

2:00 start Miralax/Gatorade drink

Nothing to eat by mouth only broth and liquids.

I'm not sure if its the nerves but I already started running to the bathroom. My stomach is making funny rumbling sounds.Thank God I work from home. Its going to be a long day.

Keep it moving? You will be moving for quite some time I think. I didn't have any bowel prep at all pre-surgery.

Lucky mate!

Oh yeah bowel prep is awesome

I had to drink magnesium citrate the day before and that was after two weeks of liquids!!

At first I thought this sounded intense...but when you said take two, take one, you meant potassium pills, right? I have taken miralax post op and it is pretty gentle. I had to do mag citrate pre op which was a little rough...a lot more intense than miralax. Just keep up on your fluids you will need it for surgery...you don't want to be dehydrated.

Miralax mixed with Gatorade is very rough the only reason they had me mix it with gade is so I won't dehydrate. I started drinking, I have to down 64 ounces I have to drink eight ounces every fifteen to thirty minutes.

Oh my good luck girl! Hang in there, tomorrow will be your day to shine. Good luck tomorrow on your surgery and wishing you a speedy and healthy recovery.

Lota

Thank you can't wait tillthis part is over I'm hoping this is the hardest part .

It won't be too bad. I had the miralax and Gatorade for my colonoscopy...oy. For the sleeve it was clear liquids and magnesium citrate which was much better. Oh, I also used a lot of Vaseline on the bottom to avoid elimination burn....if you know what I mean.

I had to drink magnesium citrate the evening before...it ain't pretty!

Lucky mate!

I wish I did have a prep. Instead I dealt with 3 days of horrible constipation. The waste was still in my body and the drugs made it very hard and impacted. It was hell. Next time I have a surgery I will do a prep regardless if its required.
