Can I ask what’s a bowl prep?

Hokey Doakey, sit down and brace yourself. This how it was for Tomkitten & myself. Your doctor gives you a prescription. You get a. big gallonish sized plastic jug. You fill it with Water, preferably cold, add the packet of powder and shake and shake it up until it's well-blended. You can drink clear water, eat Jello , weak juice, that kind of things. About 45 minutes to 1 hour after the first cupful , you start moving your bowels, you drink that liquid at intervals,it actually,is Magnesium Citrate, comes in plain which I DO,NOT recommend, lemon and a cherry/raspberry. I have always had the lemon but Fluffy Chix in Texas has. had the other flavor. And you keep and going to move your bowels, the porcelain throne becomes your nearest and dearest buddy, and you begin to wonder where it is all coming from. I swore I was going for Farmer Browns entire herd of Jerseys, about 9-10 PM what is coming out is clear or slightly,yellow watery Fluid and you are done after drinking that entire jug of liquid.. I didn't trust my body that much so I dozed in the recliner just in case. And now you are spic and span inside. And your surgeon 😷is so proud and overjoyed that you have left his whole working areas so clean and tidy😁

I have been stalled for the past week. It's pretty frustrating. I think I lost about 9 pounds my 1st week and then nothing since then.

I'm doing well Kimbero. On the clear liquid diet today. So glad surgery is tomorrow so I won't be so hungry anymore, hopefully. I have to leave my house at 5:45 am tomorrow morning to make it to the hospital by 7:15 am. Will be a short night. Let me know how you are doing afterwards. I will keep everyone posted.

Hey guys, well I’m on the losers bench! RnY at 10.30am today, was up and about at 2pm.
Not gonna lie, the gas pain is uncomfortable but just about tolerable. Hard to get liquids down as I am nervous of my new digestive system!

Good luck to all you guys!

[Kimbero 167]

Oooh you lucky thing Kimbero! Here they inflate both your abdomen and your digestive system for the surgery and it feels nasty! Glad yours went well!

I’m in recovery!!!!!!! My surgery went well. Thank you all my lovely kind fellow humans ❤️😘❤️ my one complaint is they won’t give me that button so when I press it, it automatically gives me pain meds. They’re saying when they put me in a room, they can only give me something once every 3 hours. I strongly Suggest talking about this to your surgeon before surgery, because they called him twice, and asked him and he thinks I do not need it, whatever your pain threshold is; just say 10! Regardless of how you feel, cause with this opioid epidemic going on, they’re extremely stingy and I don’t want anyone else crying like I did. ❤️
