Way TMI not for the faint of heart

Sorry to ask this kinda question. But how many of you use a bowl prep before surgery like Fleet phoso soda. How long did the bathroom visits last I am not eat food today and yet I am going like crazy. It looks urine (sorry don't mean to be sooo discriptive. But my surgery is tommorow morning and we have a two hour drive so we have a motel room for tonite how long till it safe to drive say 30 minutes at a time total two hours????

I had to drink castor oil the day before surgery....and OMG!!!!! EEeeewww is not even close to what happened to me....I took it early in the morning and went like a goose until around midnight....soooooo all I can say is I wish you the best of luck on getting there safely and coming through to the otherside a loser and way healthier.....hugs and Friendship April

Hi Diana,  Is tomorrow the big day?   I used Fleet's phososoda once before a colonoscopy and I went a few times that night and the next day I was okay, didn't have to go anymore.  Good luck!!  Let us know how you are when you get home. Linda

I did a bowel prep.  You are just passing water now.  Drink lots of fluid.  You probably won't be doing this all night, eventually it does stop.  I took magnesium citrate at 1pm and I think stopped going to the bathroom by late in the evening.  I want to wish you all the best!!  You will do great!  Can you have someone update us on here so we know things went smoothly?  BIG HUGS AND CHEERS!!!
