Pre-surgical diet and bowel prep instructions
to be utilized the day before surgery
to minimize the amount of stool present
in the bowels.
Dr. Hemstreet’s patients will be asked to follow the prep detailed below:
A light breakfast early in the morning the day before the scheduled procedure is permissible. It is necessary to maintain a clear liquid diet from breakfast on, eating or drinking nothing after midnight.
A clear liquid diet consists of anything you can see through, including:
12 noon – 1:00 p.m.
Consume one gallon of GoLYTELY. (It is best when cold)
Stay close to a bathroom for the remainder of the day. If vomiting should occur after taking the GoLYTELY, please call the office immediately at (402) 559-4292. If after hours, please call (402) 559-4000 and have the on-call physician paged.
If you have any questions, please call the nurse at 402-559-4292.
