I don't think I've ever finished the Colyte gallon jug - do you think I can get by without doing so?

I'm supposed to be done with 3/4 of a gallon of this goopy nauseating mixture within the next 1.5 hours. I am maybe halfway there. Maybe - MAYBE - I can choke down another couple glasses of this thing.

Anyone have any suggestions, advice, motivations, etc to help me get through this? I've done it before but I feel really physically awful right now...

Try and get through all of it but if what comes out of you is consistently clear after a few times going, you can stop. I usually only drink 80% of my prep solution and the dr has never complained.

But I do a clear liquid diet the day before prep so there isn't as much in me as someone who ate the day before.

I'm doing the clear liquid diet. All I've ingested today is water, chicken broth and Colyte

I need this to stop

If there is no fecal matter in your "poop" than you should be ok for the night prep
Do you have an am prep as well
If not than maybe do a couple more glasses early early am so that you can rid any more fecal matter that may be there
Good luck with your scope tomorrow hope you have good results

I do have an AM prep as well

Something I'm really looking forward to is after it's all over tomorrow

I threw up my last GoLytely prep after 2 glasses so I went to the store (not recommended while in the middle of the prep!😁) and got dulcolax tablets. I drank a bottle of miralax earlier in the day as well. As long as you're pooping clear liquid, you're good.
