Lithium, I was wondering the same thing before. After the prep, most of your bathroom time will be all liquid. DH told me that he was completely clear at the end, but I was never 100% clear. I think you know that you are done when the length between your episodes increases (the opposite of pregnancy contractions, haha!) and you really feel like you have no more to give.
Hope this helps!

About how long after taking SuPrep does the magic happen and how long does it last? I think I have to take a dose at 7 pm and at 6 am. My appointment is for 11:45. Will I get any sleep between doses?
EEK! If I had thought about it more carefully, I would have scheduled for earlier in the day, but I took first available to get it over with and avoid prolonging the agony! Donna |

i would say a good 4-6 hours after my initial cocktail of trilyte did the "magic" happen. and then, it was somewhat anti-climactic. the "response" was mostly gas and very little substance. YMMV, and i was more concerned about being near a bathroom. fasting was far from my concerns! if you can, see if you can get the first appointment - the earlier the better. this will move the fasting period into your sleeping mode. my appt was at 7 AM which was great, reporting at 6:30 AM.

Donna, you will definitely be able to sleep! We found that it kicked in about an hour later, or the time to finish both the SuPrep and the 2 cups of water. You will be in the bathroom for awhile--about 2 hours for DH, 1.5 hours for me. But after that, you should be fine to sleep; just try to use the bathroom again before bed. And then repeat in the a.m.!
You won't be "tied up" the entire time in the bathroom, so to speak. I actually read, meditated, and did some yoga moves on the floor!

Regarding getting an earlier appointment. You could call and ask them to let you know if they have any cancellations. That’s what my sister did and she ended up with the first appointment of the morning—7:00. I have a feeling people cancel all the time.
