Ok, the directions say to take 4 dulcolax at noon then start drinking the stuff at 3. Well, I want to go see the band and they play from 2-7:30 so I took the laxatives at 9:30. Started drinking the stuff at 10:45. Ugh. Double ugh. I drank the entire half gallon. YUCK! Made me gag, as 64 ounces of liquid is about my total liquid intake for 4 days!
The stuff really does work, though. I will be clean as a whistle. The bad thing is the actual procedure isn't until noon (I have to be there at 11). It is now 2:30 and I am STARVING!!! (Done with the bathroom, but starving). They told me clear liquids from midnight last night and nothing after midnight tonight. I already drank a can of chicken broth. Didn't even touch how hungry I am.
The surgery center did tell me beer qualifies as a clear liquid. Maybe after I get two or three in me, I won't mind being so hungry. Hey, just saw that jello is on the OK to eat list. On my way to Publix. At least I can chew and pretend it is filling me up.
