Ewww... lemon stuff and two enemas! The nurse was right. You will want to stay close to a bathroom.
Just a suggestion... from all that bathroom activity, your bottom gets pretty sore. I had A and D Ointment on hand and that was a relief. I know TMI but thats what we are here for right lol.

Fleet Enema question
If you really chill that lemon stuff, it makes it a tad more drinkable. It says you can even driknk it over ice.

Fleet Enema question
I'm so thankful that I was told my doctor requires NO bowel prep! Sorry ladies, I don't mean to sound like I'm gloating, just happy after reading all the threads regarding the agony some of you are put through! Praying for you all!

Fleet Enema question
Supposed to be so if they nick something the bacteria won't be an issue, I'm sure an empty bowel is also easier to manipulate during surgery as well. My dr said just an enema (which I'm still nervous about BTW) said he doesn't do the whole big stuff unless there is cancer involved. Each dr is different and each hospital requires different stuff as well. Bought my enema today.. thought it would be more expensive. $1.84 for a 2-pack.. at least it's cheap!

That must be why
That is probably why I have to have it all, I had borderline tumors on the ovary that was already removed.
