1. Four Days Before

You can still eat somewhat normally four days before a colonoscopy, as long as you start to cut down on fiber. The CCA recommends a light breakfast and low-fiber meals throughout the day, such as:

 

• ‌Breakfast:‌ Eggs with white toast and jam
• ‌Lunch:‌ Turkey sandwich on white bread with avocados and baked potato chips
• ‌Dinner:‌ Grilled chicken thighs, sautéed mushrooms and white rice cooked in chicken broth

2. Three Days Before

You can still eat solid things three days before your colonoscopy. Here are the CCA's suggested low-residue diet recipes:

• ‌Breakfast:‌ Greek yogurt with bananas and honey
• ‌Lunch:‌ Tuna with olive oil and lemon juice on sourdough bread, honeydew melon cubes
• ‌Dinner:‌ Salmon (no food coloring) with sautéed spinach and garlic

3. Two Days Before

You'll start to eat fewer solid foods in the two days before your colonoscopy. The CCA suggests the following:

• ‌Breakfast:‌ Half of a cantaloupe with Greek yogurt and honey
• ‌Lunch:‌ Turkey sandwich on sourdough bread, honeydew melon cubes
• ‌Dinner:‌ Orecchiette pasta

4. The Day Before

You can't eat any solid foods the day before a colonoscopy, according to Kaiser Permanente. Instead, you'll need to follow a clear liquid diet, which includes fluids like:

• Pulp-free juice like white grape or apple juice
• Electrolyte sports drinks
• Clear sodas like ginger ale
• Tea or coffee (without milk or cream)
• Low-residue desserts like ice pops, fruit ice, fruit-flavored gelatin or Jell-O
• Clear hard candy like lemon drops
• Clear soups and broths like vegetable, beef and chicken broth or bouillon
• Clear nutrition or protein drinks like Ensure Clear or Pediasure Clear

 

That doesn't mean you can have just any liquids the day before a colonoscopy, though. Steer clear of the following foods that can leave residue in your colon:

• Milk and other dairy products
• Juice with pulp, like orange or prune juice
• Ice pops made with chunks of real fruit
• Soups with vegetables, noodles, rice or cream
• Anything pureed that is cloudy or creamy
• Stock, miso soup and bone broth
• Alcohol
• Red, blue and purple liquids

You'll also take a prep laxative the day before (and usually the day of) your colonoscopy to flush out the remaining contents of your colon, per Kaiser Permanente. Follow the instructions on your prescribed laxative, and take it at home where you'll have constant access to a bathroom.
