Fasting for 1 Hour= Not so Bad

elisbu · February 2011

I took my 1 Hour this morning. I made DH go with me, because I worried that drinking that stuff after fasting, would make me sick.

So we got the lab at around 8:30. I drank the stuff in two gulps (it's was not that bad, tasted like cheap koolaid) and then we waited an hour. I got a TON done during that hour, I was pretty hyper.

They drew my blood at about minute 55 and then we went out to breakfast.

I have a mild headache and I am so tired from the crash, but for those who might have been worried, Don't!

Good Luck.

my docs office didnt have me fast for the 1 hour- I really wish I would have. I had to do the 3 hour yesterday and it wasnt pleasant. I am glad its over! Just praying I pass.

Sounds like you were given the fruit punch flavor. Me too and it definitely was not bad at all. I didn't have to fast for my 1 hour. I took it in the afternoon and they told me to eat lunch as normal. I was worried about feeling sick afterwards but I felt fine and not nauseous at all surprisingly.

I hope you get good results!

I agree! The 1 hour was a piece of cake.

The 3 hour wasn't that bad either - I was nauseated after hour 1, but just tired and bored after that. I won't complain!!!!

My only complaint about the 1 hour was, honestly, the taste. I got stuck with the orange and it tasted like fake orange simple syrup and it just would not get off my tongue for HOURS even after eating and drinking post draw

I took mine this morning as well but at 11:30. I had the orange flavor and it wasn't too bad. Because I woke up so late, I couldn't eat (they told me not to eat an hour and a half before the test). After the test, I went out to IHOP with my Dad. Totally worth it!! Hope you get great results for the test

I wasn't worried about fasting or the test until we scheduled ourselves to move the day after my test. I'm a little worried now that the sugar crash will make me tired. Glad the test went well.

Maybe it's the word "test" that gets people all nervous about it. It's not a big deal, although it can be boring and a pain in the butt (like finding a babysitter for 4 hours and not getting to use that time for a mani-pedi).

Awesome! I will be fasting next week, so I'm glad to read that yours went well!

I didn't have to fast, but the worst part for me today was the crash. I'm still feeling tired.

I had a pleasant experience with the test, I got the orange flavor and I loved it. It was just like Orange Crush Soda. Yum!
I called my office today and they told me I passed! Yay!
The only downside to the test was by the time I got home I didn't feel good and I threw up, but it wasn't too bad because it still tasted real orangey haha.
