Bowel Prep - Now what do I do?
Started the gallon prep around 2:30, was going within 30 minutes. I got about 3.25 liters down, and by 4:30 I threw up what seemed like ~.5 liter. Ugh. Still have about .75 liters in the jug, and I really don't think I can keep it down, I'm ready to give up. I was going pretty steadily prior to throwing up. I'm passing liquid, but it's not quite clear yet. The bathroom trips have certainly slowed down. I've been watching what I eat for the past three days, and on liquids all day. Do I really need to toss this stuff back in the fridge, wait for it to get it cold again, and drink the rest of it...? Being Sunday the doc's office is closed... There's an alternate phone number listed on my documentation, but not sure if I should call. Ugh, I don't want to drink the rest of this, but don't want to risk a cancelled surgery either.

Re: Bowel Prep - Now what do I do?
I think the answer is keep drinking. I used that type prep and they told me to keep drinking it. (The mg citrate was a breeze compared to the Golytely). But I'd call the weekend person anyway in hopes they'll say to drink less of it---but keep at it if you don't reach them right away. They all have different prep policies and some don't do any prep so best to call, you won't be the first. Good luck.

Thanks greyone. I choked down the rest of it, and so far I'm keeping it down, and it's all GONE now!!! I was glad to see the bathroom trips stopped when I stopped drinking it. Hopefully the rest of my night will be ok. On to bigger and better things tomorrow!
