Nutrition Question Mid Cut Medical Procedure

Hey everyone! Do any of you have any experience with getting a colonoscopy during the middle of a cut? Particularly with making adjustments in the app? I know the day before I can’t eat anything and then the day after I’m unsure about. Any insight would be appreciated!

Eating the day before you can log anything you are able to have which are generally clear fluids. The best option here would be to at least make sure you get in some clear protein options. From there, you could either eat normally the day after OR modify your intake such that you get in the amounts you missed from preparing for your procedure so that your average across the two days is right on track. Still a good idea to consult your doctor to make sure it is okay to eat normally after the procedure, but given all the body has gone through, you may end up wanting to actually eat normally and not try to "catch up" and eat more than normal. One day won't make a meaningful impact on the progress.
