    Thanx Randi. I thought of one treat that got me through the prep. Italian Ice. You can now buy it in most grocery stores (frozen section) just don’t eat anything red. It is delisch!

    So last time I had a colonoscopy I didn’t have to do this, but I had to drink an entire gallon of this nasty stuff that really made me GO. This time, more diet, but less nasty stuff. Not sure which is worse!
    Thanx for the tips. I just had chicken breast for lunch. Probably for dinner too. And maybe some pasta.
    Good times!

    Welcome back Lainy, hope your move went well and you are all settled in. Missed ya!

    Randi is there a reason they are making you ‘diet’ so long. I just had to drink clear things the day before the Colon. HA, you have to clean out and Susie has to gas out!
    How about, canned fruit, buttered pasta, home made chicken soup, lots of chicken.
    One hint. On the liquid day I found Beef Broth much tastier then Chicken Broth. Swansons or Campbells.

    Randi….The way I read it you can eat the fruit, but not the skin. You don’t eat beef – do you eat chicken, eggs, fish? How about rice, yogurt? Heck…can you change the date of the colonosopy for sometime after Mother’s Day?

    Jello? Applesauce?? Eggs? Chicken or pork? But no sides, huh?

    I don’t remember them telling me this before my colonoscopy. I had to go on easy foods Saturday and then clears but that’s ridiculous! 3 days of “easy” foods??? And THEN 1 day of liquids??
    Oh, wait, I got it!! Eat a whole bag of sugar!!!!! That’s not mentioned!! :)
    I would call them and ask what they recommend for a lactose free mostly vegetarian.

    hello everyone,

    I am having a routine (hopefully) colonoscopy on Monday. The prep sheet says beginning tomorrow I can’t eat vegetables (cooked or raw), bran/wheat/oatmeal/fiber, nuts/whole seeds, or fruit skin. What the heck do you eat if you can’t eat those things?? I don’t eat beef and I am lactose intolerant so no cheese.

    I don’t have to go on a clear liquid diet until Sunday, but until then I am not sure what I am going to eat.

    Figured it would be a lighthearted topic for this board and I can certainly use any ideas you can come up with.

    Figures I would be the person who schedules a colonoscopy the day after Mothers Day…planning is not my strong suit.

    -Randi-
