[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one whose doctor doesn't have them do a morning dose? I'm supposed to be done by midnight.

I cant lie, I'm very nervous about liquid diet for 24 hours. Like, feeling very anxious about it. Very.  Don't know why.  More anxious about that than prep. [/quote]

So do you still do two doses, just earlier? Or skip one?[/quote]

It says:

At 6 p.m.
• Mix the CoLyte, GoLytely®, or NuLytely® with water until
it is dissolved.
• Drink the prep solution at a rate of one cup (8 ounces)
of the prep solution, every 15 to 30 minutes over the
course of 1 to 2 hours until you drink half of the prep
solution. If you feel full or nauseated, you can slow down
but must finish the first half before midnight.
At 9 p.m.
• Take 2 simethicone anti-gas tablets.
• Continue to drink only clear liquids until bedtime to stay
hydrated. Take all medications as prescribed.
• Drink one cup (8 ounces) of the prep solution, every 15
to 30 minutes until the solution is finished or until midnight.
When the prep solution is finished, take 2 more
simethicone anti-gas tablets with a small sip of water.
It is very important that you finish all the remaining
prep solution at least 4 hours before your scheduled
procedure, and that you consume nothing (NO clear
liquids, water, juice, etc.) after completing your prep.[/quote]
