Bowel cleanse ?

Did anyone notice if/how much they lost after doing the bowel cleanse? (For those of you who had to do it)  I suppose it depends on how slowly you digested prior meals, etc.  Just curious.

I didn't lose much because I was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks.   My surgeon's office warned me that I shouldn't plan going anywhere when doing the cleansing.  But it wasn't all that bad.  The worst part was drinking it. 

Swig a lot of water when drinking it.  Helps it go down much better.  Have fun!  :)

I am with Kelly on this one....after a two week liquid diet the bowel prep was a breeze. Total weight loss during LD and bowel prep was 20 pounds. (mostly the LD)

Hiya Sweetie~
My stuff was sooo long ago I don't recall--or maybe it's Old Timer's setting in...
Duluth Clinic did insist on a 2 week LD before, so there wasn't much in the stomach/bowels anyway.

Anyway--I do remember dreading the A**Reaper sooo much--and being surprised that it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated!  Just don't plan on getting much sleep that night!

You are slowly getting closer--one, two, three, four, five and switch!  ((Did you hear Sharon, Lois, and Bram singing this?? Oh wait--they're Canadian kid intertainers....))
NEVER MIND.....

Sorry I never weighed myself after the fact. Too busy on the pot if you know what I mean. I would think you would loose a good pound or 2.

Darn! I wish I would have read this last night. I forced myself to bed at 7:15 so I wouldn't eat like a mad woman.  I've been so nervous about gaining any of the 10 pounds back. I really wanted a few more "last bits" of this and that, and peanut butter was the worst for me yesterday. I think I had about 3 T at least, and you know how that adds up.

Anyway, on the scale this am and I'm still down 11, so it should be alittle more I hope with only clear liquids today and the cleanser tonight.

I would not worry about more about the weight you have done the weigh in and they will do the surgery!! Besides you have done a great job getting off that 11lbs. I'm so excited for you!! I remember the day before surgery very well.

I'm headed out of town tomorrow but I will be thinking of you and I wish you all the best with your surgery!!.

Best wishes Kristy.

I didn't have to do one, but I'll tell ya, I wish I had after the surgeon said that I had an "accident" on the table during surgery!!!

Good luck honey - just a few more hours and you'll be a loser!!! 

I didn't have to do thisso I don't have any comments for you there.

But I do want to wish you luck with your surgery!! You will do great, because this is want you want and you've worked so hard!!

No.  However, I can tell you that I lost about 16 pounds during my Liquid Protein Pre-Op diet. which I started 10 days before my surgery.  And after my "cleansing", on the day before my surgery... I was so clean that I whistled!  Sorry, TMI...
