Hello all I'm new here. Getting Robotic TLH w/blat salpingectomy next week have to be at hospital at 5:30 am surgery at 7am.

1 Reglan at 12 noon and 6pm.
4pm 1 bottle Magnisisuim citrate and 7pm four Ducolax.
Day before liquid diet nothing after midnight. My question should I start early than 4pm and 7 pm? I feel I won't rest or be done running to bathroom by 5:30am. Any advice?

Re: Bowel prep time
Hi Sandra1 -
You need to follow the instructions given to the letter, including the timing. Do not start early, and do not deviate. This is really important.
I know it is a pain, but doing a bowel prep was not as bad as I thought. I started mine (magnesium citrate as well) at 4 PM, and did not have any problems.

Yes I agree that you should follow your surgeon's order exactly; however your surgery is one week away and you may want to contact your surgeon and ask if the bowel prep can be started earlier.
I have read that some members who start at 4 and 7 are up all night and don't get any sleep.
In my opinion I think it has to do with the food you eat prior to bowel prep.
I've noticed that those who eat liquid and soft foods for 3 days usually report an easy time with the bowel prep as there will not be much to prep.
I hope this help out. Best wishes for a speedy recovery 😊

I left message with nurse over weekend and received call this morning. I can start early. I guess my nerves are more calm. Now hopefully my blood pressure won't go up. Lol.
Thank you much!!
