Prep?

I'm having my first colonoscopy since surgery on Friday...  I can't do 'golightly' and asked if I could do the prep that I did for surgery which was 3 bottles of magnesium citrate and a liquid diet for 3 days... and he said for me to do whatever I wanted.. but to use Milk of Magnesia one of the days.

This is what I've figured I'll do -- does it sound ok?

Tuesday - eat normal - take Milk of Magnesia that night

Wednesday - soft foods/soups/liquids - take first bottle of mag citrate

Thursday - all liquids - take last bottle of mag citrate

Friday  - scope that morning

Thoughts?

I'm going to call and talk to his nurse to see what she thinks, though she'll probably just tell me she doesn't know... but I do need to find out when he wanted me to stop taking my Questran.. I don't think this is going to be a plesant experience at all.

Before the pill preps came out, I would do something similar to what you are doing. I had a really dictator of a doctor and I could not tolerate the lytly preps, but that was all he would script. So I would go off the reservation and do my own. They could never tell the difference.
