Bowel Prep?
Hi-
My surgery is in 12 hours. I am on 4th hour of bowel prep and NOTHING has happened? Anyone have this experience? I am not a constipated person at this time so I am confused. I ate lightly yesterday (only meal was breakfast, had a light lunch of soup and jello, same for dinner) had to do the liquid diet today.
I am starving and want to sleep! I have to take meds to ward of infection at 8,9. and 12....still nothing with the prep though?

You don't drink Fleet....it's sort of like a "dou_he" for the butt. Gross, but I don't know how else to describe it. I intentionally misspelled the word because the "bad word" scanner sometimes doesn't like it.
Does GoLYTELY sound like the solution you had to drink?

I had to drink a solution from the drug store, it was not fleet....I can't remember the name it was two names....and it was really cheap! It did eventually work. I think my system is waking up now a few days later, should be an interesting AM!
Fleet is another option, yes, but that brings an instantaneous result. Medication involves a waiting period. None of the options are pleasant.
You get medication for bowel prep? I have to use Fleet enemas the day before my surgery. I am not looking forward to that!
I am tremendously curious to know what medication they gave you for bowel prep. I suspect it is something different than what they gave to me. And something far less horrible, too.
It finally started to work, what a breeze! I think my internal plan of liquid diet for the most part the day before worked, I went a few times, no pain and it was a successful prep. I will post on my surgery, that is another story!
Good luck today on your surgery. Bowel prep stinks!! Praying that you have a uneventful surgery. Please let us know how you are doing.
I am probably writing a bit too late and you are probably already at the hospital by now. I suspect you probably had a sleepless night, but no worries, you will catch up plenty after the surgery.
I don't think anyone is immune to these laxatives but they may take longer than expected to work.
My bowel prep was via GoLYTELY®. What did they have you take?
