[sne1709 25]

I'm with you sister I'm march 27th I say lets "Get r done"!!

How's the liquid diet for you??

liquid diet haven't been a problem actually. My doctor only put me on it for three days but been doing it off and on. I have lose 14 pounds since Feb. 8th. So I think I'm doing good. Sunday the 17th is my anniversary and I have to drink the bottle of laxative which I'm not looking forward to lol. So will have to put celebrating being with my husband for 7 years on hold until I get better lol. How is it going for you if you have done it?

I had to drink 2 bottles of laxative the day before and I was expecting it to be terrible...it was nothing...I expected it to be like normal diarrhea when u cramp and feel sick....not the case at all...u just suddenly feel like u have to go, u go, and that's it...I was worried for no reason lol. Just don't leave the immediate vicinity of ur toilet lol

Whoa a laxative bottle or two? I've been given no directives like that just pure liquid diet with the sugar free pops and jello.. I've been doing good I love hot n sour Soup it doesn't love clear liquid diet also egg drop of you strain them I'm good to go. I've not had just a day of broth or Tomato Soup yet but I'm sure I will.

Funny part is I'm getting light headed but I'm drinking massive Water so idk your lucky only 3 days girl it's hard

Yeah not everyone has to do bowel prep. It wasn't bad but it was helpful to not have to go for a few days after and it makes it a "cleaner" area for the drs to work but its all up to them if u do it.

U know I'm surprised they don't do a "cleansing" of the rectum before lol

I always put two gowns on. One with opening in the front and one opening in the back. Works great.

Me too! Don't have to worry about holding the gown closed

I called my 2nd gown my Wonder Woman cape lol

That's what the laxative did...flushes out everything from the stomach on down. I think I lost weight from that alone lol

I don't have to do this, but think I want to just in case things don't flow smoothly after surgery... It will buy me more time!

WOW!! Two bottles lol!! I figured it would be rough on me because I go enough as it is lol. So I couldn't imagine what it will be like tomorrow lol. Oh yes waiting to do it until I get back from church and then I'm gonna drink it. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully it will be easy on me haha

I can say from personal experience that it didn't hurt. I took mine at noon and 6pm the day before. I honestly think 1 bottle would have done it for me. And it didn't hurt and wasn't as bad as I though it would be. Drinking the stuff that doesn't taste great was the worst part of the whole process..,

I'm doing the chewable gas-x tablets. I do 1 or 2 depending on how gassed up I feel
