I'm not sure what you mean by 2 day prep, since there are a couple of different definitions for this. But a 2 day prep is fairly common especially in people who have constipation and whose colons might be tough to clean out.
2 day prep can mean 2 days of liquid diet only, or it can mean taking two separate oral prep solutions over 2 days.
