Bummer, I hate those tests. By #4 I finally just took the 3 hour to avoid as much of the crappy drink as I could...still makes me gag. Good luck I hope it is negative!

Blecchhh! To this day I can't stand 7-up, Sprite or anything else labeled "Lemon-Lime." I actually, avoided the test this last time because I hated it so much. (Just don't tell my doctor).
