Pre-Prep Dinner Suggestions?
by turtledovemom, Apr 24, 2006 12:00AM
Trying to stay on the positive side, does anyone have any suggestions for tonight's dinner? The dreaded bowel prep starts tomorrow morning, and I've already laid in my stock of bottled lemonade and Italian ices. Yum....I think.

If you're going to have solids, at least eat light....you do need the nourishment and that is not insignificant.
Pretty soon all this will be behind you and you will be so relieved and finally on to the healing path.
We are all here for you, kiddo!
Peace be with you and your family.

Nanik...the prep for this procedure is the same as the last phase before a colonoscopy: clear liquids, 2 bottles of phospho soda (according to the directions)...and nothing after midnight the night before the surgery. It really cleans you out, as well it should. Oddly enough, the surgeons at our local hospital were not going to do the prep...and that made me more than a little apprehensive. The MSK gyn/onc is doing things more logically...one of the reasons why I feel at peace with being there.
Dian...thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I'm doing my best to look ahead (not always easy to do). I have to say that I've come to really look forward to the posts on this site. The combination of wisdom and humor is just what I needed to find. I hope tonight's sleep will be a restful one. As I'm trying to write this, I have my youngest son and another one of my undergrads trying to IM me. At least some things in life are constant.
Blessings on you all!
peace,
Anne
