Colonoscopy Prep-NO results!!?

I have a colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I began the prep today by following all the directions.

I had a bowel movement this morning before i started.

I took the pills at 12 noon as directed.  The directions say that you should go between 1-6hrs of taking the pills.  I went a very small amount after 6hrs.  At 6pm as directed I drank the solution.  You are supposed to start going within 1 hr of finishing the drink which i finished at 7pm, as directed.

I have NOT gone to the bathroom,  It has been 1.5hrs now.

What to do?? Anyone experience this?

Thank you

correct me if I am wrong. you had to have liquids and jello for one day in preparation for the procedure. your doctor said that you need to repeat it again for two days before going for another one. right? so now, when is the next one? are you eating normal now? if so, don't worry. the effect of liquids will go away. it is just a matter of time. of course, you are on a big deficit if you only consume jello and juice. but even with that, you can pretty easy still manage to get your 1500 or 1800 calories just from drinking apple juice and eating some pudding. I think light pudding is allowed.  now, since you eat solid foods, even you go to the bathroom more often, you are ok. your body will absorb the calories. 

it is just your digestive system that needs to be taken care of. once you get that in order, you will be fine. 

yea, no weight lost!

umm, no pudding, nothing solid.

im not going for the test again til august, thank gd!! yesterday was awful, so pianful and such a waste!!

next time will be no eating-only clear liquids, ices, jello, for 2 frickin days and 2 gallons of that stuff, im dreading it!!!  its so boring and gross!!!!!  i never want to see another italian ice in my life! lol

honey, you will lose all the weight you want but take care of your digestive system first. this is far more important.

and by the way, if contispation is the only thing you suffer from, I think you can solve the problem between now and Aug. you still have a long time to go. as a patient with a history of digestive problems, I advise you to drink prune juice and eat prunes everytime you have contispation. My doctor told me about it and I tried it and it works great.

increase your fiber AND your water along with the prune jiuce. just be careful, it has a lot of sugar. one cup a day is good. one cup has 170 cals I think. pick no added sugar juice. expriement a little bit with avocado too. try all the natrual laxatives when you get contispated. 

after all that, I still would go to another procedure in Aug just to make sure that everything is fine. 

I also followed the gut flush plan for a while. google it to find more info. you may or may not like it. as in the first two weeks, you need to avoid sugar even from fruit. I tried it once and felt great. basically, they say if you want to repair your gut, you need to avoid sugar and caffiene for a while. Let me know if you like to do it, I would like to do it again:)

good luck. 

SAFINA- i DONT want to lose weight, i was worried that i would.  its alrt bc i didnt so its cool.  ive had these probs the majority of my life.  prunes, dried fruit, doesnt work for me.  ive had GERD, acid refluxs, both types of IBS, lesions in my esophogues, barrits esophogues, a slow colon, i think thats it, since i was 12, im 25, it sucks, i learn to deal.

no fruit?? im not 1 for that type of fad diet stuff, i love apples, i couldnt!! lol

the reason im getting another colonscopy is bc it didnt work this time so i need to drink more of that gross fluid crapola, shhot me!!

have u tried amatiza-a med for constipation, it sort of works.  i also use spoonfuls of benefiber and mix it in my food and the all bran juice mix and a store brand fiber cereal.

So I drank the HalfLytly on Thurs at 6pm, its now Sun and everytime i eat anything it goes right through me pretty much immediately-is this bad? normal?

thanks
