Colonoscopy prep question

[Clash]

So the prep method is 4 dulcolax followed by 64oz of sports drink with 8.3oz of miralax two hours later. When you start the sports drink you are supposed to drink 8oz every 15 minutes. Well I've finished 32oz and was really gagging with the last 8 oz. Not really sure what to do, I feel certain the next glass is going to come back up. My last bm was already liquid and yellowish(sorry tmi) almost clear. Do I just drink it and throw up or what?

LOL, it would seem that way wouldn't it? No please do your best to not throw up. I think what's happening here is that you're simply full. Throwing it up wont help anything and will only make you feel worse. Usually when you're running clear (looks the same coming out as it did going in) then more prep isn't going to clean anything out cause its all already out (that's one thing I learned in the hospital from the nurses before my surgery). What you basically need to do is keep hydrated. If you're throwing up, then you aren't staying hydrated. Let the liquid settle before you drink anything else. Basically stop focusing on that piece of paper and slow down.

I threw up during my last prep. I don't recommend it.

I always felt like I was going to vomit when I drank prep. I just did my best and drank as much as I could and held it down. I don't envy you!

Thanks, Crabby! I was weighing the pros and cons on vomiting and the cons are definitely winning LOL!! I do think I am just too full. I'll wait a little while before trying more although I did get another one down. Ugghh... I'll will never drink sports drink ever ever ever again! Thanks again!!
