I had to drink that gallon of stuff, and i just couldnt do it..... i ended up not drink around 32 ounces of it, do yall think i drank enough or do you think it will not really affect me?
Whats coming out right now has a yellowish tint but nothing formed (its just all liquid)

I don't know if it's enough or not. If it's not too late for you to drink more, try drinking some of it in between sips of ginger ale if your doctor's instructions allow you to have that. Ginger ale really helped me get what I had to drink down - and keep it down.

Good luck tomorrow. The prep is way worse than the procedure. When I told my doctor that, he laughed and said the only real reason for the prep was so that people would be so miserable from it they wouldn't care what happened in the procedure. He was kidding - I think.

You are okay. The same thing happened to me with the tint, and I was confused because they said keep drinking till it came out clear. When I asked the next day, they said that's what "clear" meant.

Wish I'd known that before I drank more and ended up throwing it up.

Good luck tomorrow! The worst of the bad is over for ya anyway!

Ummmmm...don't know about that. I think as long as it wasn't red jello or powerade you should be okay?
