PET Scan - & Yes I'm Going to Beat This !!!

I'm going to have a PET Scan done, and they gave me a list prior to the night before of what I can and cannot eat. Has anyone ever had a PET Scan done before?
I'm curious as this list of what I'm able to eat and not able to eat is rather odd to say the least.
The evening prior to the study eat a meal that is high in protein, such as fish, meat, chicken and eggs. Do not have any bread, pasta, rice or starches such as corn and potato's. Do not eat foods that are high in sugar content, such as desserts. Only green vegetables are acceptable. I'm able to drink plain water plain water after midnight, and the morning of the test.
So I'm trying to figure out with fish, meat and/or chicken - what I am able to add to a meal the night before
right now - maybe because my mind is a little boggled with everything I'm going through - and I'm trying to prepare ahead of time for this, to get the right foods in the house. I have meat and/or chicken to make the night before. The only thing I can think to add to this is a large salad (for greens only) but would have to leave off many of the usual things they put into the salad where I would normally order this from, onions, tomato's, crouton's, cheese, etc. So I guess I would need to ask for just a plain salad with cucumbers in it, as those are the only "green item" they put in the salad, unless they have broccoli which they could add as another "green item".
I don't eat peas, asparagus, or things like that So any suggestions for me?
Anyone been through a PET Scan, and had to follow this dietary restriction before?
I've read up on what it's all about and what they will do that morning, putting the dye into me, to see what "lights up" - so I get it, and understand that certain foods will give a false positive on this - hence the restrictions.
Help would truly be appreciated

And I don't like it
Look it up on the Net if you don't know what it means, I had to
Yeah, that is on my paperwork from the doctor on Monday, and it ain't looking any better.
Here's to pulling that ACE out on Friday with the Endoscope - and gawd dammit - there better be an ACE played that day
I guess a little anger is okay now and then
Second, from the little I just read, you don't want that. Is it diagnosed, or just a possibility right now? And is the associated condition curable? I don't pray, but I'll be sending positive thoughts your way.
After all your test are done we will have BBQed Llama and margaritas on the beach!
You are in my heart and in my prayers for as long as you need them.

And as the other white meat above said...yeah you don't want that.

I didn't see it at first, then I reviewed the paperwork again today.
Yeah, not something I want at all, no wonder I can't gain weight
From what I've read, I do not see a cure for this; it's part of what all is going on with me.
Thanks for the positive thoughts, though you still taste

There better be a BBQed Llama with margaritas waiting for me on the beach when this is all said and done
Thanks for the prayers and thoughts

What a fark fest this is turning into as I go from doctor to doctor - jebus who the hell did I piss off to get these types of diagnosis's as this goes along - it's freaking unbelievable that it went from bad to worse - and just keeps getting worse.
Friday better be an ACE day is all I can say, or I am officially farked as can be!!!!
Okay, trying to stay positive, I truly am, but sometimes this is really, really hard right now, I'll admit it; when I see this whole picture unfold before me. On a wing and a prayer I go...
Ah, just me being pissed off right now. Tomorrow I'll pick up the report from today's MRI, couldn't run the CD, both my drives went down on me, yeah, another thing to go wrong; then Friday to get through before Monday comes. It's pouring on me
Anger, anger, settling in,
Who said anger couldn't settle in.
Bitter I'm not,
Though I feel tied in a knot.
There must be a way,
To bend and sway.

Thanks BG, I'm just feeling very frustrated this evening, as one can tell by what I type here. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have a better outlook on things once again ***fingers crossed***

" Medical Marijuana has been allowed for the treatment of cachexia in some US states such as Nevada, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Connecticut."
Thanks, since I don't live in any of those States
