Magnesium Citrate Dilemma

[Cobrargc 25]

My surgery is Wednesday. I've been told to drink 10oz of magnesium citrate the day before surgery to clean things out. The problem is I have to work all day Tuesday, so I don't want to take the stuff at work. I am immediately leaving work on Tuesday at 5:00 to head to KC where the surgery will be done. It is a 3 1/2 hour drive, so I don't want to take it after work or during the drive. I will spend the night in a KC hotel, but I may not get there until 9:00pm. If I take the stuff after I get to KC, I likely won't get any sleep and be sore down there going to the hospital.

I am on a clear liquid diet, so there can't be much in there. What if I were to take the stuff late Monday afternoon. The magnesium citrate would wrap up during the night. Do you think this would be OK?

Sounds like that would as long as you are on clears

I wouldn't think it could be a problem. You might want to clear that with your Dr just to be sure though. I didn't even have to take anything to clean me out pre-op and I'm perfectly ok. Good luck!
