Sameer is going to a work conference tomorrow through Wednesday, so it's just Sim, me, and Sameer's mom. Then I've got a week of no raw fruit/veg, no quinoa, and no dairy to prepare for my colonoscopy. I've never received a full week of restrictions before, but I'm really good at following directions, and I will do anything that promises to make colonoscopy prep better. Here is what I'm making:
Air Fryer Tofu with Rice and Bagged Salad
Tonight.
Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa and Black Beans and Cucumber Salad
Monday night.
Tuesday night when Sim has voice lessons.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Garlic Soy Curls
Wednesday.
Meals I Could Eat the Week Leading up to Colonoscopy:
Garlicky Korean Mac 'n Cheese with Gochujang
Vegan Beef with Broccoli and Brown Rice
Tofu & Veggie Stir-fry with Brown Rice
Chana Masala with Rice
[Edited 7/9/2025: Other hospitals' online pre-colonoscopy diets say to avoid all beans/legumes for three days and say dairy is fine, so I'm just trying to do this as strictly as possible. I guess I'll do tofu stir-fry or vegan breakfast burritos (with peeled potatoes and minus the tomato) on Sunday and spaghetti with tomato sauce and a side of canned green beans on Monday. Tuesday is my liquid diet.]
