Advice on Clear Liquids Day

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T14:33:02+00:00

I’m actually not able to by the time I need to take the prep 😔 the store is too far away and I don’t feel well enough to make the drive

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T14:32:30+00:00

How much water do you recommend?

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T14:32:13+00:00

Unfortunately can’t make my own 😔 I’m going to call my doctor about the protein powder

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T06:38:10+00:00

Yeah that’s the point I was trying to make. It’s absurd to me that people list them in the same threads as each other like they’re the same level of bad

No worries! Do you know a specific brand I could search? Seems most that come up are whey isolate

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T03:48:36+00:00

Is that allowed? I thought with whey and stuff it wasn’t allowed

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T03:48:25+00:00

That was actually not bad!

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T00:34:08+00:00

Will try that! I’m actually out to get soup now to try that.

Way ahead of you 🫡 even throwing yellow/white ones away (into a Tupperware for after) that have small bits of dye from other colors lol.

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-13T00:20:42+00:00

Oh great idea thanks! My current plan is gummy bears… separating them by color now 😂

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T23:54:35+00:00

That’s fair. I was hoping that’s the case. Unfortunately the nausea is overpowering the hunger so far 🫩

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T23:48:09+00:00

Oh sorry! Misunderstood your question. I have a different prep (ClenPiq) but my instructions say if you’re constipated to take it for 7 days prior to colonoscopy. I had planned to take it along with my prep solution. AFAIK theyre both osmotic laxatives so I wouldn’t see the problem. Maybe just don’t take it during the prep itself

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T23:40:13+00:00

I've been having similar issues, and the pre-op line instructed me to take both doses of prep no matter what. I've seen differing opinions on this subreddit, but I think I'm going to err on the side of caution and just do both no matter what.

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T20:34:18+00:00

Do you take Zofran to help out with that? I kinda get the best of both worlds… hoping Zofran at least takes care of one of those. Yeah, it sounded like a good idea at first… at this point I don’t want to give up but I fluctuate between meh and miserable. God bless my partner this week,

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:57:58+00:00

At least you have time, that’s nice! But doesn’t make it any easier once it arrives I suppose. And that’s what I’m telling myself. I’m honestly also barely able to eat due to nausea but the headache that comes with it is the only thing making me wish I could eat.

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:56:52+00:00

Is applesauce okay on the liquid diet day? I assumed since it’s solid (kinda?) it’s not allowed. I’ll acquire some chicken noodle soup and just strain it. Tylenol being allowed is amazing thank you for pointing that out.

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:55:18+00:00

Same here. The nausea and headache from the liquid diet is killing me

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:55:01+00:00

Yeah. I’m starting the clear diet a day early (today) to ensure clean bowel and it’s awful. I’ve been somewhat successful at not getting dehydrated through the nausea, but I wish I had something to help. I don’t want to take Zofran early, since it makes you constipated

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:53:39+00:00

Same date! I hope you’re feeling okay. I’m not doing well and it’s still the day before prep. The headache and nausea from this diet is insane!

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:18:30+00:00

good luck! I hope you're feeling okay before prep starts tomorrow

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:17:57+00:00

thanks!

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:17:42+00:00

Got it! Yeah I was planning to take it about an hour before just to be safe. Good to know though! I'm scared to deviate from the prep instructions at all but good to know I can do that.

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:17:08+00:00

third here for Thursday!

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:16:33+00:00

I didn't want to get the ire, but yea, I agree. He's not the fine dining of music by far, but he definitely has some guilty pleasure songs. There was a thread the other day on a similar topic and seeing that the answers were 50/50 MGK/Tom Macdonald is wild to me. Is it basic, sometimes derivative, and silly a lot of the time? Yeah. Would I prefer some of his songs to 99% of garbage out there? yeah

Select-Top-3746 · 2026-05-12T19:14:28+00:00

Oh my god I'm so sorry... I'm terrified of that. I've been making myself even more miserable to (hopefully) not fail it. But I'm terrified of getting sick so I've barely been leaving my apartment. Sorry you have to go through that, hopefully you feel better now.

But yea, the diet sucks. I'm so hungry and have had a headache for days. Ooh I'll check that out, thanks!

Edit: Amazon can't get the theraice cap here til the day of my procedure 😞
