Disimpaction photos anyone?

Has anyone got a series of photos to show when disimpaction has completed? Does the poo go completely watery as with diarrhoea from a bug? Or does the macrogol thicken it a little? I can't tell if we can stop yet and I don't want her missing school so close to the end of term.

Can I stop disimpaction after day 3? Any side-effects? And start from scratch in 2 weeks when school's closed for summer?

I wouldnt stop, you want watery stools (a b bit like clear tea) with no lumps consistently for a few days before you start reducing the doses down extremely slowly ie one dose every few days until you reach a suitable maintenance dose to remain on
