What to eat 2 days before procedure?

I stuck to very plain foods, chicken, mashed potatoes, no veg or fruit, white fish, that kind of thing.  The hospital sent me a diet sheet which was very precise about what you should and shouldn't eat. 

I found the diet okay, a bit bland but it's only for a couple of days, and I can't say I was at all hungry. In fact it was quite good fun to devise a menu based on the diet sheet. The procedure itself was fine. There were a couple of uncomfortable moments but they passed in seconds and the staff were really kind and supportive. For me, the worst part of all was having to drink so much water, it felt like gallons of the stuff, but it did mean I wasn't hungry during the time when I wasn't allowed to eat!!!

Like most people, I was apprehensive but the prep and procedure itself were, if not exactly a barrel load fun, nothing to be aafraid of. 

Hope yours goes well.

You should receive a leaflet with your medication which explains what you can and cannot eat and when you must start to adopt the diet. I would follow that because it is designed for the laxative you are taking. It tells you all you need to know

You only have to be carful not to eat stuff with seeds or husks. Make sure that your doctor understands what you want BEFORE THE TEST. If you want to be out during the entire test then make sure that it is on the consent form that you sign or you may end up awake and in pain like me. I will never have another one done without going to the hospital to be put out completely. I have inflammitory bowel disease and a rectal fissure so I was in pain and my doctor refused me any pain medicine. Needless to say I was angry with my doctor and fired her shortly after. I now have a new doctor and we are going to discuss this at length before any more are done.
