| OA abd OAHOW Colonoscopy Preparation Guidelines | |
1. Make sure to drink plenty of water!!! 2. Unlimited broths- veggie, chicken 3. For your carbs… use 4 oz apple juice (or colonoscopy prep approved- no sugar added of course) Every 4 oz juice = 1 fruit or 1 starch in your plan Examples Protein- you won’t get any today If you are doing artificial sweeteners- ok to do colonoscopy approved (non red/purple/blue) Jello, Gatorade, and Crystal light. I’d keep these too a minimum. For the day of the procedure, you may be a little groggy from the anesthesia once you arrive home and if you are behind on a meal, just start your normal plan (I’d do softer foods…lower fiber) from the time you wake up. |
