Sure can! Looks like you’re getting ready for a colonoscopy? The prep for this procedure isn’t high on anyone’s list of fun things. But it can be made easier with a little advanced planning. Here are some suggestions for you. As always, you should follow the specific instructions of your doctor.

Three days prior to the colonoscopy is when to start with the low fiber diet. One day before you need to switch to an all liquid diet.

I found a really comprehensive list of foods to eat for a colon prep. This is only for the first 2 days!

This link is for the day before the procedure when you should be on the liquid diet.

Is this your first colonoscopy?
