Good morning all, I'm not allowed to eat anything from now and thanks to this heatwave I'm not looking forward to the next 24ish hours...

My procedures at 11am tomorrow, today I have to take the first dose of moviprep at 5pm and the next one at 9pm. Am I allowed to take electrolyte powder alongside the moviprep, or does it already have enough in to keep me going? Will it be enough?

Does the moviprep make me need the loo in the morning as well? I'm definitely going to have some anxiety toilet trips but slightly concerned about the (relatively short) trip from the hotel to the hospital.

I'm slightly concerned about how nervous I'm going to be beforehand, I've even almost passed out and felt sick from a blood pressure test before (I know, big girls blouse over here) and there's usually a small chance after injections/blood tests. I suspect this will just be worse if I haven't eaten in 24 hours. I'm allowed fluids tomorrow before 9am thankfully. I've read stories of people having theirs cancelled as their BP was too low, is this going to be a huge issue? I think it will be a bit better if I'm lying down and there's nothing to vom out, plus I'm hoping the sedation kicks in quick lol

Does anyone have a rough guide on when exactly I should be consuming liquids today? I've got ginger ale and chicken broth, but not sure if I should be drinking them throughout the day before I start the moviprep, or just chugging water for now.

Thank you all, I'm very appreciative of how informative and friendly this sub is.

I'm relatively new to the CS and have been referred for a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks.

I'm not sure how sick leave works, I said I'd WFH the day before but am I expected to use up annual leave on the day of the procedure, or can I say I'm taking sick leave?

Or is sick leave something you can only use on the day?
