Ok I know what one can't eat on the 5 days prior to a colonoscopy.
What are some meals we can eat?
How about compiling a list/thread of can chow down on foods/meal for the week prior?
White Bread/Turkey/Mayo is one I can dig.
Broiled White fish w/lemon and smoked salt
If you care to and are a pro at the colon pre week diet mode please list some ideas other than the usual suggestions.
We all now what we can't have the week prior seeds/leafy veggies/celery/fruit (basically things with peels or seeds) red/purple/orange dyes.
And the need to be very hydrated (diet 7up is my choice).
Gatorade clear the colored stuff has the no/no dyes.
BTW this is my 3rd procedure and I am normally a veg/seed diet person so last time I ate too much meat stuff prior and got really ill.
Thanks ahead of time.
Just as hot coming out as going in.
This thread is useless without pictures.
Please, no pictures of Katie Colonic having her procedure on live TV...
Ate normally until the day before and had to drink that awful stuff with out any food. Not aware of any special diet for 5 days.
No matter what you eat, it’s ALL coming out, pretty much uncontrollably, as a result of the procedure ;-)
I ate normally before mine.. then came the day prep ..a most unpleasant experience..but a necessity
One tip ...You can mix crystal lite with the junk you have to drink
I just dieted the day before!
Why not just eat nothing for five days.
Drink only water?
That’s what I’m doing.
Are you posting your pictures??!
I’ve never heard of the prep lasting that long.
Same here. Actually, the Colon Purge, the day before, was by far, the worst part of the experience. Couldn’t wait for it to end so I could chow down...
The colon cam is down today.
Did you use a Nikon or Cannon to take that shot?
Starting two days prior lots of highballs.
Remember the last day mix them with Ginger Ale. :)
Eat this for five days and your guaranteed to have the cleanest colon in the county. ;-)
Oh, I don’t know if that will work. You must drink the stuff (yuk) till you feel like cr*p, then you’ll know you are ready. : ?
Take it from me, don’t take sleeping pills (or tylenol PM) with the stool softener.
