I ate before hand. There is NO WAY i would have been able to keep that yuck down with out at least something in my tummy a few hours before. I had oat meal with nuts and yogurt. I also ate the moment I could after the test. My body was totally freaking out on the sugar.

I had mine 2 weeks ago and had a bowl of cereal and fruit with milk, yoghurt, and 2 boiled eggs. I'll find out my results tomorrow. Good luck! Oh, and I didn't find the orange drink as bad as I thought, even though I don't drink pop or sugared drinks. It was super chilled, which helped.

I think I had scrambled eggs with feta and tea. I passed without problem but felt so light headed and gross after the test. Definitely bring healthy food for afterwards and water too!

Ate a sandwich and chips before my test for LO 1 and passed easily.

Ate a high protein meal (eggs, broccoli, PB) before my test for LO 3 and failed miserably. I expected to fail because my A1C was high!

I just got my instructions on Friday for #2. They told me to eat "eggs and toast, something low sugar". I plan to eat eggs, cheese & avocado. A pretty standard breakfast for me and what I ate last time.

I stopped at Starbucks and grabbed a breakfast sandwich, drove to my doctors, ate breakfast sandwich in the parking lot, and five minutes later drank the drink!! I passed too!

I forgot I was taking it and had cereal about an hour before. I passed anyway!

I ate my normal breakfast of porridge with brown sugar, sultanas and milk, the tech who did my test specifically asked if I'd eaten my usual breakfast. I failed and have GD so breakfast wasn't ever going to change my outcome.

I had s giant bagel w cream cheese from honey dew, and passed.

I ate and failed the 1 hour!

@blackbird: Are you doing the 3 hour or the 1 hour? I am taking the 1 hour this week, I haven't decided which day, and my dr said for me to fast before. I took the miserable 3 hour with H and it was also fasting and I felt like shit all day after. What is the difference between fasting vs not fasting? I've read that a lot of paleo/primal people falsely fail the GD test because the body is not used to that much sugar and can't deal with it so well. So I'm a bit worried about that.

It's so interesting to me that some doctors allow eating beforehand, because I begged my OB to let me eat. The first time I took the GD test, I was sick for 24 hours (like I got hit by a truck). I eat pretty low sugar and it just killed me. So my second pregnancy, I tried to do whatever I could to make it easier on my body. And my OB was like "you absolutely have to fast for 12 to 15 hours before the test or you will fail it, or get a false fail. There is NO WAY to get accurate numbers if you eat." Was she just being nuts or what?

Also, my office doesn't offer the 1 hour. Only 2 hour or 3 hour! I took a 2 hour both times.

My midwife told me just don't drink oj before my one hour, so I planned on eating eggs. At the last minute, I talked to my mom who is a nurse, and my dad is a physician assistant, and he told me you always fast for a glucose test. So, I fasted, and sure enough when I walked into the lab the first thing they asked me was, "you fasted right?" Sooo glad I fasted, and didn't get a false positive. I think if I was borderline I would've been suspicious, but I passed with flying colors, and ate normally the days leading up to it ,(including nachos two nights before, and coldstone the night before). I just fasted from 10pm until my 9am test. If I absoluty had to eat, I'd pick protein for sure. I have a sweet tooth, and thought the orange drink was tasty

coffee, eggs, toast

Plain eggs. What I didn't do was pack snacks/a sandwich for after the appointment and that was a BIG mistake.

ETA and I passed the 1 hour

I had eggs, turkey bacon, and toast for breakfast and then nothing else until my early afternoon appointment.

@blackbird: I liked it, honestly, because I didn't have the chance to stress about it. I'd probably have hated it if I'd had some crummy breakfast, though.
