Hi @kaybow, I did a little research and found there are a lot of other people wondering the same thing! You’re all just so eager to get this started huh? Just kidding! I know all too well the volume of liquid to get down and not enough will power to make it happen! 😉

Some doctors are actually making changes in the way they prescribe the prep and having patients split the time. That way it’s not all at once, making it easier on the body and patient. The ultimate goal is to get the colon as clean as possible. So it doesn’t hurt to begin a couple hours earlier as long as you complete the process.

Here are two links for you. The first one is from Mayo Clinic regarding splitting the prep time.

It’s also recommended to eat less 2 days before and have a day of liquid diet. I’ve also heard it’s best to avoid red and grape jello as it can interfere with test, so I have to ask, what’s your favorite, green or orange Jello?
