Is the drink really that bad? I have the orange one.

My dr suggested that I take a zofran before drinking the juice stuff.

I honestly dont think its that bad! I had the orange one, but i never had the fruit punch one. I hope it all goes well with you and dont get sick from it! Maybe you can ask for the orange drink again! I am going too, when I take mine!

It's just really sweet... way sweeter than soda. It's kinda like a melted orange popsicle. I've had both & neither are great, but one's not worse than the other. It does give me heartburn, of course, what doesn't these days? Good luck!

[newmommy710]

I just hope I don't get sick and throw up on someone lol. That would be so embarrassing. What does it taste like?

I fasted this morning and went and did it, but it was fine. They did a draw before, and an hour after. I thought it tasted great and I had the orange one lol!

It didn't bother me at all...it just reminded me of an orange soda.

I had mine last Tuesday...the worst part was dh wasnt home to go with me and we have an hour drive to my dr so I had to drink it on the road! I had fruit punch. I had to wait forever for the dr to see me afterwords. I havent got a phone call from them so I guess I passed. Im a little shocked and Im really expecting them to call. I just knew I would fail.

I did mine today and it wasn't so bad. The orange drink kind of tasted like a stale gatorade. If you are having trouble with vomiting you might want the zofran, but otherwise it won't be too bad.

Oh I'm glad you wrote this!! I'm going to have to deal with the same thing...my MD's office is 45 minutes away and I know I could always go early and drink it there, but I don't want to have to wait an hour...but I don't want to make myself sick by drinking while I'm driving. Does it help to have some food in your stomach?

[mom2lexi]

You have to fast for this test so no food. When I did mine with DD, the place I went (a blood center) told me I could eat bread or crackers before so I ate a slice of bread. They said that was why my test came back high and I had to do the 3 hour. There is no way I can drink the orange stuff. When I did the 3 hour, I got so sick and threw up all over the office. To this day (even when not pregnant) the thought of anything orange makes me wanna throw up. So, I will have to try the fruit punch or root beer if they have it. I am not doing it at the same place either. My doctor does it in their office now. I just hope they give me the drink to take home so I can drink it before I go because DD will have to with me, and I won't be able to chase her around and keep the stuff down.

I had the fruit punch one, and it tasted like kool-aid that a kid had made. lol About twice as much sugar as needed. I think the bad part is just your stomach having to be empty before you drink something so sweet. Plus at our dr., they make you drink it right there, and give you 5 minutes. So, you have to down it in a room full of people. I kept gagging, and it was so embarrassing.
About a week later, I almost threw up drinking a Hawaiian punch. lol

I'm back. It wasn't so bad, but I did get a little dizzy from it.

[hsmaldo]

I didn't think mine was all that bad when I did it last time and I'm not really worried about it this time.

I'm glad that everything went well and I hope that the results come back good for you!
