I need help figuring out how to drink that 64 oz of Miralax and what kind of mess I can expect.
The day is coming Friday to go for the second surgery. I'm terrified almost more of the laxatives and Miralax cocktail that is required to start in the morning. My Hollister bags don't hold that much. I don't want a blowout or to live in the bathtub. Any tips? The doctors didn't have any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
It's hard on such short notice, but they make a high-output bag that you can get. It has a spout on the bottom that attaches to a second bag with a long hose and a big bag (Foley catheter bag).

Hello, my wound nurse ordered me a high-capacity output bag like Kas described. I don't know how I would have done my bowel prep without it. Not sure if you can get it on short notice... check with your wound nurse! Best of luck!
