Klean Prep is making me sick!

[Joanna1995]

I was praying someone could help me with this! I've been given 4 sachets of Klean prep for an operation im having tomorrow at 2.30. I've been told I have to finish them all by today. I've been trying since 12pm today to drink them and have only managed 2 glasses (normal sized, not pint sized!!!) which isn't even half of 1 sachet. They are making me physically sick and I cannot keep them down. I still haven't had a bowel movement either. I was hoping someone might have some tips on how to get this down me?! I've tried adding juice and water, drinking with a straw, drinking water straight after swallowing it and putting the solution in the fridge before drinking. Still no luck! Any advice anyone??

Yes ring your hosp for advice (number will probably be with admission info) as if your bowels aren't clear the op may not happen. There are other bowel cleansers they may give you.

The bowel movement may happen later... I have had to do this several times and it's grim. My last one..I drank gallons of the bloody stuff, retching as I did so...nothing. Then a few hours later... OMG.

Keep sipping because they won't do the op if you need to be cleaned out and aren't.

I used lots of lemonade (and shhh a bit of gin... that helped!)
