 Anyone have suggestions?  I'd rather not take the liquid - afraid I will puke it up LOL.

You can take a dulcolax pill, but they really cause me abdominal distress for a few hours. I have been putting one cap of miralax in my nightly drink. I sip it slowly, it has no taste. If I forget a day, I pay for it. So I'm starting to remember to do this nightly. You can do more than a capful of miralax for a "quicker" reaction. We had to drink an entire bottle of it (in lots of fluids) for our pre-surgery clean out. I didn't need even half to be cleaned out. A couple of capfuls in 16 oz of fluid would probably be ok, but I'd call your surgeon just to make sure.

 So dulcolax is okay for us to take?

 I'm not a doctor, but I think I read it was ok.  I'd check with your surgeon before you do, just in case.

Dulcolax suppository.  May not be your first choice, but it's the quickest choice. DAVE
