I understand your confusions, and you need to talk to the nurse to get reassurance. I'm going to assume that your doctor is competent and deals with patients on meds all the time. He/she may have failed to give you the best explanation.
Going without the food tomorrow won't be as noticeable as you think, because you are going to have explosive diarrhea all afternoon and evening. That's how the prep works just in case they didn't fill you in on that either. Don't have any red or dark liquid, because that may obscure the view or look like blood to the camera.
They ussually say take your meds only the night before, and depending on what they are, maybe take them in the morning.
The prep is the only bad part of the situation.
Please double check with the office to make sure they understand your concerns.
I'm willing to discuss any of the nitty gritty details if you'd like a better idea of the day itself or anything. good luck
