Hey...Im doing the same thing.   This is what they gave me.     Clear liquids for the next two days.     5PM tomorrow start the 1 1/2 oz. Fleet Phospho Soda mixed in 1/2 glass of something like     sugar free Sprite.  Followed by 2-3 glasses of water.     9AM the following day, repeat the same thing.  Clear liquids all day.     Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. I don't know if you have the same prep but this is pretty standard.  The only thing that is bad is the Fleet stuff...it's nasty.  Mix it in as little something as possible to get it down and drink lots to wash away the taste.  It's the only thing that truly wants to come back up and not stay down.  Hope this helps...

Use a straw to suck down the Fleet Phospho Soda mixture. It helps minimize the taste! good luck ladies!

Yep!  Good luck, ladies! You'll be thankful that you haven't eaten anything for a couple days! And actually, you'll feel GREAT and have so much energy with intestines that are clean as a whistle!  Thinking about you! J
