So I am getting ready for my total hysterectomy tomorrow and my doctor has me doing the much loved bowel prep. My problem, I am having a hard time getting the liquid down and have to drink AT LEAST 3 liters. Any ideas to make it easier to get down? I've tried making it cold, and that hasn't really help. Any ideas???

Yes, use a straw. I didn't have to do the fleet prep kit this time. All they made me take was dulcolax pills and they worked just fine. I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! The straw did help, along with holding my nose, lol. I got most of it down. I'm ready for tomorrow to be over.

Thanks again for your help!
