Magnesium Citrate - Not Too Bad!



Recommended Posts

So after reading and hearing from folks how bad this pre-op laxative is, I was dreading it. I went to Target and bought the lemon flavored 10 oz. liquid in a glass bottle. I refrigerated it and poured it over ice, then drank with a straw. It wasn't terrible, I have to say. I highly recommend this if you are going to be using this before surgery. And I think it was $2.99. :)

Now the wait begins...lol

You are suposed to drink a glass of Water (at least) with the dose. I mixed it together and added more because it was so sweet

Hi Laura-ven did you use Dr. Ariel Ortiz as well? My surgery is on April 9 and I've never heard of this? Does everyone need to do this?

Hi :)

No I had my surgery in California.

But the pre op prep?

Well most doctors that I know of have you do a prep.. Magnesium citrate is a strong one,

Some doctors use miralax..

I looked and you going to Mexico?

Do you have a pre op diet?

I think some of the doctors don't have you do a pre op or a prep, it's funny how different they all are!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
