The day before your colonoscopy. Breakfast: Enjoy a light breakfast which can include coffee, eggs, white bread, juice, or low-fiber cereal (such as rice krispies). Do not have oatmeal. One 8-ounce can of Ensure or Boost is suggested as well, but do not take Ensure Plus or Boost with Fiber.
How you prepare. Before a colonoscopy, you'll need to clean out (empty) your colon. Any residue in your colon may obscure the view of your colon and rectum during the exam. Follow a special diet the day before the exam. Typically, you won't be able to eat solid food the day before the exam. Drinks may be limited to clear liquids â plain water, tea and coffee without milk or cream, broth, and carbonated beverages. Avoid red liquids, which can be confused with blood during the colonoscopy.
