I have to go in for a colonoscopy this Wednesday This Tuesday, I have to prep for it, which means only clear liquids. I can have bullion, coffee, tea, diet pop, water, juice, popcicles and jello. I'm thinking that I will have just water, tea, and sugar free jello.

My question is this: will this blow my ketosis? After the test Wednesday morning, I can go back to MF.

I doubt very much it will blow it for you at all because the caloric level will be low but you may feel rather puny for that day and a day or two thereafter as you reintroduce your good-for-you protein...have bouillon - several cups throughout the day (it's not gonna hurt you one bit and the worst that could happen is you may retain a bit of water but with the "Go Lightly" and Go Very Often drink they give you and the enemas, any excess water will be released rather rapidly, I presume!) and there are sugar-free popsicles available at many stores. You could drink warm or hot sugar-free Jell-O, too (It's very good).

I need to have THAT test, too...I keep avoiding it even though I promised Jan and Oregon Rose Nancy that I would make an appointment and Nike it (just do it!) Somehow having a TV camera introduced into my lower channel is not something that appeals to Leopard Woman - she likes only to do glamorous things and to be glamorous...but she does know that having polyps or other skanky things in there is not very glamorous either.

MAMA--

Good luck with your tests..I have these every year(except last year) as my dad died of colon cancer..they are not to bad at all. The worst is the laxatives(sorry) they make you do it's an easy test though.. I will be thinking of you and praying for you ... You will be fine as God is with you.. Martha
