While you can clean out a little J-pouch with a full colon prep, it's just silly and unnecessarily brutal. A simple Fleet's enema or two works just fine, but it's pointless to do it hours before the procedure, since the pouch will fill back up again. I suppose if you tend to have solid or nearly solid stool you might need to plan ahead to reduce the volume or loosen things up. Since the pouch is easy to get to, "wash before looking" pretty much covers it.
