Bowel Cleansing: IIRC, the day before your procedure you will be on a clear liquid diet in the morning. Starting the prep early in the afternoon will give the meds plenty of time to purge any remaining material. Plan on staying home and near a toilet. By bedtime you should be totally empty, but again there's no guarantee. Discuss any further concerns with your physician before you begin.
