I Do Have to Do a Bowel Prep
Lots of 23rd ladies in waiting on here! Mine is scheduled the same day. I don't get my pre op till Monday! Wonder why mine is soooo late. I was told on the phone I will have a bowel prep too.......sigh. She told me liquid diet on Tuesday and start taking that nasty swill at 3 pm. So, I am only working half a day Tuesday then going to pack and get ready for my trip to the Castle...I am nervous, but not as bad as I thought. I am worried about the anesthesia the most..and the tube in the throat....yikes!

They actually called the "happy juice" in my iv pre-op a margarita, believe it or not and I don't remember anything after being wheeled out of the holding area. That and freaking out because I hadn't taken my contacts out and they had already pumped it into my iv. I thought "EGADS, what if I zonk out with a finger in my eye?"
For the record, I was told no alcohol and no smoking 24 hours before my arrival time at the hospital but I smoked like a fiend anyway. Never drank though (anything FUN that is) and had no bowel prep either.
Also, remember that alcohol dehydrates you and the last thing you want, whether you're doing a bowel prep or not, is to be dehydrated when they try to start that iv. One lady across from me had been out the night before for "a few". They had to go through all kinds of fun trying to get her iv started.

I Do Have to Do a Bowel Prep
Hi Everyone....lots of May 23rd ladies here!!! Yep, Diverchick, I'll be doing the clear liquid diet Tuesday together with the two bottles of citrate and 2 enemies (I meant to spell this way lol). Mrs0323, my pre=admit nurse was so nice and she stressed staying hydrated before surgery, so I'm getting my drink on this weekend. Hey Diver, my ex lives in Wheelersburg, Ohio. Are you familiar with that town? I visited their years ago (ex and I are on good terms) and it was awesome....the people were so friendly and I actually saw fireflys; neither of which I experience often in Southern California. =)

I was told liquid diet too for Tuesday. I didn't hear 'enema' though, but perhaps that will be sprung on me on Monday during my pre op?
Color me dumb, but how exactly does one do an enema anyway?
