I didn't have to fast for mine either.  I only have had to do the one hour one for each of my pregnancies.  Are you doing the 1 or 3 hour one?

The only one you really have to fast for is the 3hr. Unfortunately, I have done that one 2xs.I had the fruit punch flavor. It just tastes like extra sweet Hawaiian Punch

I was told no food for 12hrs but I could drink all the water I wanted up til a hour before drinking the stuff. I was lucky that I got the lemon/lime flavor. Tasted like flat 7up. I passed mine with flying colors. Good luck and don't stress to much.

I didn't get nausea from mine, just felt a little dizzy. Be careful if you drink the stuff before driving in. And they said only water after I'd had the juice and I could eat normally otherwise.

It wasn't too horrible. I took the drink down like a champ and yes, it is uneasy on the tummy. I went to my vehicle and closed my eyes till my next one. That seemed to have helped big time verses sitting up in the Dr office

The drink wasn't that bad it was the being sick from not eating and trying hard not to throw up so didn't have to do it all over again.
