Re: Hysterectomy tomorrow (10/27): Bowel prep time UGH
Bathroom prep is very important.
I didn't have to do bowel prep for my hysterectomy, but I had to do it this past summer for a colonoscopy. I pre-stocked the bathroom with a novel to read and a chilled bottle of lime seltzer, since I was supposed to getting lots of fluids. When the time came, I settled in for the long-haul. My two cats were highly amused.

Hi,
My LAVH + ovaries is tomorrow, as well. I am going through the bowel prep, too. Soon we'll be done with this and recovering nicely.

Yes!!! I'm dying right now though I think I'm almost finished. This prep stinks but I appreciate knowing constipation won't be an issue.
Best of luck!!

I always have trouble keeping warm when I'm fasting. I pile on layers of shirts and sweaters and, if I'm allowed to drink, drink lots of hot liquids.

Hysterectomy tomorrow (10/27): Bowel prep time UGH
It finally stopped but I was shaking violently. Almost as if I had a stomach flu. The prep is almost finished and I'm grateful as I'm not sure how much more I can take.
Chicken broth has been a life saver!! I'll definitely be enjoying tea this evening too.

Re: Hysterectomy tomorrow (10/27): Bowel prep time UGH
If it makes you feel any better, I just found out today I have to do TWO bowel preps in less than a month. My doctor is having a colorectal surgeon on standby in the OR because I have bad Endometriosis on my bowel wall. I had an appointment with the colorectal surgeon today and e wants me to have a colonoscopy to see how bad things are. So I get to do the prep for that and the hysterectomy prep. I told my DH they should just have patients go to Outback Steakhouse and have the Bloomin' Onion instead of Miralax. It seems to have the same effect and I'm sure it tastes much better, lol. Hang in there. You'll be on the other side before you know it.

Okay, for future reference: when you prep the bathroom, stow a warm jacket in there for you to wear.
