i wouldnt worry as long as you were doing as your surgeon instructed and the hospitol FOR ME: it was no food after 3 pm, only clear liquids and i drank my citrate magnesium at 4......the hospitol said no food after midnight I wouldnt worry the enemas will clear u out. I was still going the next morning till just before i went into OR so dont worry all will be fine.

I've been rather curious about this myself. My surgeon doesn't have me taken any type of laxatives the day before. My only instructions were, nothing by mouth after midnite. I have even asked again to make sure. He's been doing this for over 20 yrs with no problem so I can only assume it won't make a difference.
