MiTurner247 34 Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone had to take Mag Citrate to empty their bowels before surgery and how was the experience? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaceyD 64 Posted March 28, 2012 I had to drink 2 bottles the day before surgery. It worked pretty quick so I wasn't up all night or anything. The worst part for me was drinking it. Just make sure you drink plenty of Water cause it will dehydrate you. I was a little dehydrated the morning of surgery but it was no problem since they pump you up with fluids.

gette2751 26 Posted March 28, 2012 I had to drink one bottle the day before. LaceyD is right about it working quickly! I was running to the restroom all day. In the end it was like I was peeing out my butt...sorry if tmi :/ in the end it's all worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christine50 9 Posted March 28, 2012 Put it on ice. The lime one is like salty 7Up. Cherry isnt as good. Drink fast and sip something after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mi, I would recommend getting some feminine wipes or those cleansing cloths. Things get a bit rough after you've made six or seven trips to the bathroom! Good luck.
