Fear of all things orange now

in November 2012 Moms

I had the glucose test today. I thought I mentally prepared myself enough from what all I heard about the drink. I was wrong. I had such a hard time getting it down and then keeping it down. When I saw my doctor after drinking it, she told me I looked a little green in the face and at that point I was sure it was going to come back up. How have they not found a better alternative?? Are there different flavors and did I just get stuck with the nasty orange?

I should stop complaining, at least I passed the test. But still, yuck!

    There are definitely other flavors. I've had fruit punch as well as orange. But orange does seem to be the most common.

    Was the fruit punch easier to handle for you?

    I had lemon lime, tasted like a really sugary, gross 7 up, but the lady at the lab told me she thought it was the best. I heard orange is really gross!

    They no longer give those drinks where I am anymore. Here you get this nasty sugar water. Apparently people are allergic to citric acid so no more fizzy pop like stuff. Let me tell you, the new crap is just awful to try and keep down.

    Those things are nasty! The orange one for me was more tolerable bc it w for the one hour so there was less sugar in it. The fruit punch one was for 3 hour and was AWFUL. I didn't think it would stay down. Each time I took took a sip I dry heaved. Tech kept saying, if you don't keep it down, you will just have to redo it. I wanted to pummel her!

     yUCK.....glad its over. Will find out if I passed 3 hour tomorrow.

    Mine was lime. it tasted like one of those green freeze pops that nobody froze, and was crazy syrupy. I was told to keep it in the fridge, that it's more tolerable cold.

    I have heard that orange is the best one, and that is the one that I took....I actually really liked it! Of course I like sugary things, but still, it was good to me!

    If you throw up the drink, my OB gives you a bag of jelly beans to eat. 

    I like the way your OB thinks!
