[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the volume of fluid is based on what would clear the pipes of a 300 pound man who eats 30 cheeseburgers a day and not calibrated for normal sized women. [/quote]

This made me laugh. My DH is 195lbs and fit. The amount of fluid was a lot at the end. I weigh 120lbs and can't imagine drinking 64 oz of Gatorade, on top of a liquids only diet all day. But at least then it's done.

Just had hoped I could do some of the 64 oz through out the day to stay full. I will be home all day. [/quote]
I just went through this 3 weeks ago and I'm your same weight and had the same prep. The fluids sound like a lot but remember you won't be getting as much water from food and none at all on the day of, so you do need to load up. I stopped feeling ravenously hungry at some point and just felt weak. Eat as much jello and broth as you can while you're allowed to the day before. Also you can stop with the miralax mix once your poo looks like pee.  [/quote]
