Hi
I am halfway (or more) through drinking the 64 oz of the Gatorade/Miralax prep but it seems more lengthy a process than I remember from four years ago.
If I recall correctly, one has to start the elimination process even before finishing the mixture …. So far, nothing’s happening (but that could change in a nanosecod). As I’ve been drinking this for 2 hours now, I would suppose that since it is 9 pm here now, I might expect to be in the bathroom for two, three, or four hours? I just can’t remember how long it was.
I know everyone’s different but I wondered if anybody could give me an expected time frame .. like maybe until 11 or midnight …. ?
THen I have a third dose to take at 4:30 a.m. tomorrow five hours prior to the procedure. The directions say ‘try to finish this in one hour’.
If anyone would like to suggest anything in particular or to suggest how many hours from this first 64 oz Miralax mixture how long … I guess I am wondering probably one doesn’t really get much in the way of sleep.
I appreciate your knowledge in this …. I am a year late for this checkup. Need to be checked ….. wondering about polyps or anything else. This is my third colonoscopy …. But I find it hard to recall the prep details between scopes.
Thanks if anyone has time …. Good wishes to all of you. D.
