During the difficult parts of the prep, trust me, you are DEFINITELY going to want to be at home. Basically, for the prep, you're bowels have to be totally emptied. So yes, you'll be in the bathroom a lot and by the end all that should be coming out is water Something you probably don't want to be doing in the public bathrooms at work, I assume...

That said, for me I took the laxative stuff around early evening I think and it wasn't until the middle of the night that the 'emptying' started. So if you work to 5, taking it at 12 might be ok. BUT I'm not sure you want to risk taking a heavy-duty laxative while at work?? Eep.

Is it at all possible to take the afternoon off? If so, I'd really recommend that. I can't imagine going through all that in a public place, personally anyway.
