Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Basically it is cleansing your colon before surgery or endoscopy. Here is one way: You may continue with your regular diet through the evening 2 days before your surgery. 1.On the morning before your scheduled procedure begin a clear liquid diet only (broths and light soups are fine) 2.At 9:00 AM on the day before surgery, begin drinking your chilled Gavage solution (Golytely or Nulytely) 3.Drink all of the solution by noon if you can. You will shortly experience the desired results. 4.By 6 PM, your stools should be very clear. 5.You may drink clear liquids until midnight. 6.Don't drink or eat anything after midnight on the day of surgery. You should visit the Houston Endometriosis Association " Surviving The Bowel Prep " page for helpful hints. I had several people who would come to me for colonic treatments pre op and post op. Heavy use of pain meds will cause constipation and bloat. jessie2265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
