I"m learning that sips of other drinks between the Golightly helps make it easier to handle and clears the taste. The nurse told me to mix it with crystal light and that has been successful. Still nasty but nasty peach and mango instead of pure nasty. She told me that lemon packet that I was told to use tastes like Pledge. This is not delicious, especially because I do not like the taste of artificial sweeteners but it is better than Pledge (probably also with artificial sweetners).


I do miss my own house for this but no way could I drive up post-prep (and I have to be there at 7:45 so would have to leave before 5 for rush hour traffic).


Fun stuff....I'm sure you are all jealous.


Gawd the prep part

It’s just awful. I’m sorry you have to do this but at this point you really need answers so you can get back to feeling well again

Yes I did the lemon once , pledge indeed . Yucko
