bowel prep, going on 6th hour? URGENT

got to do a bowel prep at home, and i was supposed to consume a whole gallon of golytely from 1pm - 4pm. it's now 6pm. i'm still not done drinking it because it's making me nauseous and i've almost several times. i ate some lime jello around 11am today. and then some chicken broth around noon. right now the bm looks like faint urine. so my question is, should i stop drinking this now given that it's after 6pm and my bm looks the way it does? or should i really drink the whole gallon? ~liz

Drink up and keep going as quickly as possible, you'll be surprised how more is yet to come. Put it in the freezer to make it as cold as possible, that helps. Puking is not a bad thing as its clearing your system, just not from the desirable orifice...... I also had chicken broth shortly before I started the prep and wish someone had told me not to, it made me full and therefore harder to get the stuff down. Good luck and looking forward to seeing you on the loser side. ~Tiffany

Hi Liz, I finally figured out how to use the wireless internet thing on my computer. i guess i missed the 3pm chat. I would definitely finish the entire prep drink; just to make sure you get everything out. I only had to take dulcolax, 2 tabs at 7am and 2 at 1pm. I'm actually suprised i didn't have to drink anything like a lot of you. i also have to take my antibiotic pills over the next several hours. I'm getting more anxious; how about you?

I had to drink fleet's twice and yes I was in the bathroom about 8 hours. Its not fun but made for an easier surgery. Sorry you're having such a hard time sweetie. Hang in there. Sending positive vibes your way Regards and many hugs Ronna

Hi Ronna, the Fleet stuff you are talking about, is the the stuff in the green bottle? How close to your surgery did you take it? My surgery is Thurs My Doc put me on clear liquid diet. Unfortunately, I have had a little bit of solid's and want to make sure my system is as clean as a whissle. Is that what it's for? to really clean you out. Your response would be much appreciated. Thank's, Eveltn

My instructions were: 2pm - 3 oz of fleets mixed with 8 oz of water and then 3 more 8 oz glasses of water. 7on 3oz fleets mixed with 4oz of water I used diet 7 UP and it made it less yucky. Was able to get it down without gagging on the stuff. But was in the bathroom from 3-5 and again from 7:30 until after 11. This was the day before my surgery
