I passed, although just barely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208146 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 19:23:35 +0000 chopsuey 208146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't eat anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208124 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 19:00:33 +0000 Shimmer 208124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A peanut butter sandwich and some milk. I usually have a small chocolate frosted donut with it but skipped it the day of the test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208111 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:46:40 +0000 googly-eyes 208111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal I went through a poptart eating phase last week! Last week it seemed delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208091 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:23:31 +0000 erwoo 208091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate plain oatmeal with both boys. Passed the first test with my first son and failed the first test with my second son but passed the 3-hour. I don't think it matters too much what you eat with the first test b/c they want to see how your body responds to the drink with what you normally eat. However, the nurse did say don't eat anything super sugary when I asked her. Good luck with your test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208089 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 18:17:43 +0000 stargal 208089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ummm. a poptart. haha dont judge, it looked really good! i passed though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208031 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:28:58 +0000 woodentulip 208031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had to fast for 12 hours before the test...I was so hungry by the time it was done!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-208024 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 15:23:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 208024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to fast for 12 hours before my test. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207996 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 13:38:46 +0000 matador84 207996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. I was told not to eat anything after midnight. I passed with flying colors-107. When I was done...I got a half caff iced coffee and a chocolate croissant! Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207971 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:56:23 +0000 peacockblue 207971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had toast and cottage cheese with fruit. And passed, which I was not expecting :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207956 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:36:15 +0000 googly-eyes 207956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I would just call and see what they suggest! They said "protein, like some scrambled eggs" to me but I'm not sure about what specifically you can eat.</p> <p>Here they say not to change anything about your diet:</p> <p><a href="http://www.livestrong.com/article/362215-foods-to-avoid-before-a-glucose-tolerance-test-during-pregnancy/" rel="nofollow">http://www.livestrong.com/article/362215-foods-to-avoid-before-a-glucose-tolerance-test-during-pregnancy/</a></p> <p>There are some babycenter threads on the subject if you google, but I'd still call just to be safe! (To avoid having to do it again unnecessarily.)</p> <p>It should go as you said (drink, wait, blood draw) if you drink it at the office. Mine was done all in the doctors office and overlapped with my appointment. I drank it, went in for my appointment, and at the end of my appointment had blood drawn. Is it possible for you to maybe save time by going down, drinking the drink, getting your rhogam shot, and then going back for the blood draw? Might be something to consider if you don't want to wait around for an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207951 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:23:30 +0000 sorrycharlie 207951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: they didn't give me the stuff to take home, as I've seen some people do...so let's say I'm finished with the rhogam by 10:30..do I go downstairs, drink the drink and hang for an hour? then they do 1 blood draw? or do I have to do anything in between? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207949 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:22:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 207949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>eek...I hate eggs, lol! maybe I'll pick up some plain yogurt tonight and have that and a slice of wheat toast with milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207944 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:14:58 +0000 googly-eyes 207944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing! But my appointment was at 9:15 am and I had to drink the glucola at 8:45am. I was told I could eat something without sugar, such as eggs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207943 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:13:24 +0000 sandy 207943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate a giant bowl of honey bunches of oats - I failed my 1st time but passed the extended glucose screening. </p> <p>For my next baby I am just going to eat some eggs and maybe a piece of toast with milk. Nothing too sugary and not a huge breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-eat-the-morning-before-your-glucose-screen#post-207939 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 12:10:13 +0000 sorrycharlie 207939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1-hour test is tomorrow at 10:30 ish! I have to have the Rhogam at 10. </p> <p>I'm nervous about what to eat tonight and tomorrow morning, though. I was instructed not to fast.</p> <p>What did you eat? Did it affect results? </p>
