Okay, I know this is not something pleasant to talk about. I have this lovely medicine kit to "clean out" the day before surgery.
However, i have to time this just right as I am hosting a 2nd birthday party at my house for my twins from 3-6pm. It says after you take the first pill, it wont start for 1-6 hours, when you have a BM, then drink 8oz. of the liquid mix every 10 minutes until it is gone. Then you will use the bathroom a lot.
How many hours did it take the first pill to work for you? and how many hours will "cleaning out" take?
i would really appreciate answers to these questions. I tried to keep them quick and general. I am trying to plan when to take the first pill where there is enough time for me to "clean out" but not have it start before my party is over.

Just wanted to let you know you're being heard! Hope it all goes well, both the party and the "clean out".

I have to be honest here i dont envy you having a kids party and starting this. I can honestly say that each person is different however once starting the 10 minute segments it wasn't long and i as up and down in bathroom for about 4 -5 hours its was a long night but required.
lots of toilet paper and air freshner is my advice.
You can get through this just fine, just stay focused and not to far from bathroom.
At least maybe I can take the pill at 5 and since it doesnt start for 1-6 hours it wont start till after the party, then just stay up late doing the drink. I am on a liquid diet so how much could i really have? Hopefully since i am on the liquid diet it wont take 4-5 hours. But I wont sleep much the night before surgery anyway mine as well stay up in the bathroom than have to go during the party.
