My doctor told me to fast before mine. I've been looking it up all night and it seems to depend on your doctor if you are to fast or not.

I was allowed to eat before the test, didn't have a certain time limit to not eat anythin', but avoid anythin' sugary and my doctor said to eat somethin' with a good amount of protein In It. I was scared to fail It, so I only ate scrambled eggs two hours before takin' It and a protein bar. And I passed! Woot! Lol. But I do know you can't eat anythin' and only drink water (from what I was told by my doc) after you drink the stuff. And I recommend Fruit Punch over the Orange drink (If your allowed to pick). I didn't think It tasted all that bad. Tasted like a cheap, sugary Imitation of a Fruit Punch brand.

You aren't allowed to eat for 10 hours before the test.. mine is tomorrow as well. Having horrible heartburn from not being able to eat.. does anyone know if tums will throw the test?

I'm 28 weeks and just had it done last week. I was told not to eat anything before or after you drink that disgusting drink they give you. At least until after the test is over.  My opinion...very boring!
