Trouble is the whole prep thing is making me heave. You would think it would get easier! My main concern is not
throwing the whole lot up!!!!

Prepping is vile. Ii did my first one with apple juice as a mixer and after that I couldn't drink apple juice for months smurf Good luck with the test

That's my other problem. I used to use Sprite or Mountain Dew, but can't touch the stuff now. The doctors order
recommend Gatorade (yuck) or diet soda, BUT what one. OOHHH I don't know. I really think they could've come
up with a better idea by now!!

Think of you Vicky,  hope everything goes well.

For what it's worth, I try and not eat much/anything for the day before my prep, so I don't need to drink much of that junk. The last time I did a prep, 2 glasses of the stuff was all I needed.

thinking of you!! it's horrible and will be over soon! I try to sip on it instead of chugging it as the chugging almost always leads to vomiting/urging for me...

hope u get through it ok and best of luck tomorrow

Don't panic if you end up throwing up....I did twice. I used apple juice as a chaser. Hope you don't have to drink all of the prep to get to clear, I only had to drink half thankfully.

Thanks guys. I have diarrhea all the time, so it shouldn't take that much to clear. I think I'll stop when it
goes to yellow fluid. eeuuww Please!!
