What did you eat today?

[emily_in_nc]

Last day of low-fiber eating before my clear liquid diet (featuring much Gatoraid and Miralax) tomorrow in preparation for my colonoscopy Monday - UGH!

B - Puffed wheat, protein powder, almond milk, coffee
< long slog to the markets both walking and taking a bus - too rainy/blustery to ride>
S - four thin butter cookies with a smear of Nutella
L - 2 eggs on white toast, glass of pulp-free OJ
S - small cup apple sauce
S - four thin crackers with cheddar cheese, a lite beer
D - 1/2 chicken breast with feta and herbs, white rice pilaf, canned green beans, glass of white wine
Dessert - cup of Breyer's ice cream (last solid food)

Let the "fun" begin.

Thanks. Today has been tough. Black coffee, pulp-free juices, chicken broth.

It's 3pm, and I am absolutely starved! Plus missing out on a gorgeous sunny biking day b/c I simply wouldn't have the energy to ride without food in my belly.

I guess I get to eat a late lunch tomorrow (procedure is at 10:40 am). I can't wait!

Good luck, Emily. At least it only comes once every ten years for most of us.
Just one restaurant meal last night put 2 pounds on me. And Passover starts tomorrow night. Two nights of lots of food. Although I tend to loe weight over the week of eating no bread, even though matzah is definitely a simple carbohydrate.

Thanks! Hopefully that will be the case for me. For my DH, since they found polyps both times, he's on an every 5 year schedule.

I'm smelling the dinner he's eating as I drink my laxative-laced G2 Gatoraid (thank heavens it really just tastes like Gatoraid), and it's about to kill me. I will never take food for granted again!

And this experience just reinforced for me that I could never be anorexic.

I love my food....

Emily - I hope all goes well!

Today:

B: none...
L: 1 cup spaghetti with marinara sauce, lettuce salad, coffee (lunch at church)

S: Cliff Bar before bike ride, and a Honey Stinger Chocolate Gel during bike ride

15 mile bike ride - was STARVING during it so was glad I had the Stinger gel..

D: Trader Joe's Garlic Chicken sausage, romaine salad with sweet peppers, onion, tomato, low-fat Champagne Vinaigrette, beer

S: probably either an apple or fresh strawberries with low-fat Greek Yogurt.

2 eggs and 2 slices ww toast
cereal
pizza, something like 5 slices from a small pie.
roasted vegetables for dinner
an orange, and a pear. I regret the pear, it was not ripe, and I was already way too full, but I ate it anyway. Bleck.
