Bowel Prep Questions
My surgery is tomorrow morning at 7:30 am, my Dr ordered the bowel prep. I also have a gastric band, which limits my total amount of food I eat. And over the last 2 weeks since we received the Cancer diagnosis, I haven't eat much at all, lots of soup, some protein shakes etc. I have only been able to drink about 1 liter of the prep, is that going to be enough, I can't seem to drink anymore, my stomach can't take it.
Thanks

Re: Bowel Prep Questions
You should call the doc's office or the preop at the hospital. Since you can't ingest as much as the average person, I would think you'd be okay, but call to make sure.

Re: Bowel Prep Questions
I only had about 1 liter as well and trust me, it was enough! Most people I've asked didn't have to finish the entire thing, but everyone is different, I know. Good luck!
