I get to the lab at 7 when it opens, and then treat myself to breakfast out.

If you can have water, try drinking ice water to help you feel less hungry. Really, I find that I don't miss food until at least 10 AM.

During the fasting day, it is very important to drink a lot of liquids - clear liquids - to stay hydrated once you begin the purgative.
Although I "never" drink soda, I drink stuff nonstop on fasting day, including sodas - I find the carbonation helps me feel full.

that's why I do the gallon preps so that I can eat the day of the prep.

I use a gallon prep GoLytely (and ilk)....I eat brunch and then start the prep at 4 - 5 pm.

I also don't drink juice or have consumme or whatever is allowed on a liquid diet the day before the prep.

I did that once for the phosphasoda....bad experience to do a purge an entire day. sucked. I'll take the gallon prep anyday.

I don't do any with a flavouring added to the mix (either in the powder itself or to add to the mix afterward).

Which prep are you using??

Honestly, I had no appetite once I started the prep. I was only consuming jello and broth out of duty, and to get the taste of the laxative out of my mouth. The anaesthesia killed my appetite for the next day, too.

Think about how cleansing your fast and prep is! Otherwise, keep busy.
