So, once again,thanks for all your information.  It is very helpful.  I am so glad I found this website.  Your a glass of water in a desert, so to speak.

I detailed my output schedule during my first ileoscopy which required a bowel prep. You can see the timeline here: https://www.veganostomy.ca/first-ileoscopy/

Keep in mind that my experience will likely be different from yours since there are so many variables at play. 

Honestly, though. It wasn't too terrible - more inconvenient than anything. 

Good luck!
