I used to wonder about oddly specific signage for obvious circumstances like "do not hold the chain end of the chainsaw while operating."

I dunno man, it would seem pretty clear what today was going to be like.

At any rate, the effect should be the same as if you had a prescription prep. One thing though. The prescriptions usually FORCES YOU to drink enough water. Ducolax may not have that in the directions. Make sure you Drink lots of water. Lots and lots of water with those pills.

i thought that was the "miralax" part- 64 oz total of water intake.

So continue to drink massive amounts of water now?

chrissakes.

Welp im in prep day.

Apparently Oschner is medieval in that i take ( took ) 2 Ducolax at 10pm last night ( which now has kicked in )

2 more at 10am today , clear fluids all day/night - then at 5pm 8oz mixed with MiraLax every 15 min til i drink 64 oz

Im already "cleaning out" and by 5pm will most likely be "clear"

Everyone else ive spoken to has either gotten drinks or pills from Dr to take to clear out. Not me- they got me doin this old school.

And it sucks.

Clenpiq was the shirt. Yes, literally.

Oh I missed that part! Sorry! I thought they had you just taking dulcolax following the label instructions . No that should get you clean as a whistle

No the Ducolax seems to be the "precursor"

at 5pm i start the 8oz water/Miralax every 15 min til i drink 64 total oz

Which is why i figured work was "doable" lolol

Ive never taken Ducolax so i had no clue how "effective" these 2 tiny pills are. lolol.

 

[DaveXA]

the worst part is im at work lolol

I didnt think this thru.

I mean, this is exactly what sick days are for, no? Lol.

The last one I had done was 18 months ago. The Dr. had me take straight mirilax

i figure ive got a window of about 4 hrs post 10am Ducolax that will allot me ample time to make it home lol.

And if I12 merge is traffic- welp someone calling the cops cuz im throwing on the hazards and riding shoulder til i get on 12. Ill explain myself later lolol

Oh no. Stuck in traffic is the last place you wanna be when the meds kick in. I pray for your car seat. Might be a good idea to put down a garbage bag on the seat, just in case.

mmmkay.

lol

I'm learning from your mistake...

I thought he would just stick his butt out the window, then head to a drive through car wash.

i took the 'first thing monday morning' option
as a courtesy i think SELa hospitals should offer a Sunday noon option so we wouldn't have to watch another DCarr led offensive effort

"I'd rather have a colonoscopy than watch another Saints game!"

So my PREVIOUS appt was 1pm.

When they called to tell me time ( 3 days prior to date of service ) im like "hold up...you want me on a liquid diet entire day before/night...take half a gallon of Miralax starting at 5pm....THEN WAKE UP AND NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING FROM 8am til 1230pm ( when im to arrive ) ?!?!?!?!

yeah no you need to find me a 6am appt. No way im not eating or drinking for 5 hrs - after 36 hrs of liquid diet
