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

21,228 1,397 June 19, 2012 at 10:06 AM in Chat
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 Dontknow 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 Yuk 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 Embarrassment

So good to hear the latest news, picca. woot
Stress really does have so many negative affects. I'm glad you're reducing your stress level.

If you just happen to have an extra cinnamon roll here or there, feel free to send one to me. Big Grin

Since this all began, I've gained 7 lbs, which is a GIANT leap forward according to my one doctor. It must be all the "Boost" I've been drinking every day, Cinnamon Rolls I've been eating, and all the other stuff I'm eating trying to gain weight. He said to keep it up, until I get back up to what he considers a healthy weight for my height. That means I need another 20 lbs to go yet.

I'm not that vain that I worry about being "too heavy", as I don't think I will ever weigh as much as my sister's do Tomato I take after my mother, who was always thin, like myself. Not everyone is meant to be model thin, nor is it healthy to be too "thin" - I'm proof of that. It scares the living daylights out of me when I become too thin. I'd rather have a little extra on me, then not enough nod Until 5 yrs ago, I was still able to fit into my wedding dress from 34 years ago. Then I had the vehicle accident, and started putting on the weight. A year ago, I started dropping the weight; it was February when the red flag went up for this. I just thought like when I broke my right leg, and gained weight, and it took more than a year for that weight to come off; that all of a sudden this weight I gained was coming off. I was wrong; there was reasons behind it; as I kept loosing more weight. Weight gain I don't worry about; weight loss I worry about when it goes way too low nod

Dunkin Donuts suck, they always seem stale. Three words.....Hot and Now! Krispy Kreme is where it's at.




Just think you can gain 20lbs then start binging and purging like other girls obsessed with their weight.

Our Krispy Kreme is now a Chick-Fil-A - it didn't last long as a Krispy Kreme Sadwalk Though we are glad it's a Chick-Fil-A now Licklips In fact, we grabbed dinner from there tonight before heading down to the boat Woot

No binging or purging from me Nono2 I'm only obsessed with being under weight, not with weighing more than I should Nono At 20 lbs. more, I'm still well within my BMI, in fact, I could probably gain 30 lbs more and still be within my BMI.

I'm not at an age where I think I need to be super thin, as long as I keep myself "toned" - then I'm fine. Oh, and I want my hair color to remain natural as it is; thank goodness I have not had to go into a bottle yet woot It must be in the genes, is my only answer for that one Big Grin Now that I am obsessed about, not dying my hair EEK!
